What Our Clients Say About Our Ninh Binh Day Tour

Bruce Mike - United State

I had a great day with Alex riding a sampan in Ninh Binh and then touring the temples in the area. Alex is friendly, speaks good English, and is passionate about history. He also loves photography, which is great since you won't feel like a tourist taking lots of pictures.

Ligia Soli - Brazil

Alex is an excelent guide, very experient and professional. He provided us a very good car an driver. We travel from Halong Bay to Ninh Binh ( 4hours each way). Is not so far but the road and traffic are intense! I suggest stay one night in Ninh Binh in order to do a 2 hours canoe ride , have a calm lunch time and visit other sites nearby like Hoa Lu and the caves Tam Coc. We loved! Very different comparing with Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh
