We absolutely loved the boat ride in Trang An and the views at Mua Cave. The tour also included those conical bamboo hats that we used the entire tour to save us from the sun!

What a trip!! Me and my partner loved this trip - our guide Leo was brilliant. He was friendly and knowledgeable - he was thoughtful and respectful about the sites we visited which we really appreciated. The trip was a highlight of our time in Vietnam - what a beautiful place. The Mua cave walk whilst yes was a bit difficult was so worth it, and also - it wasn’t that bad (coming from someone with pretty rubbish fitness levels haha) Thank you for a wonderful trip!Show more

Peter was an exceptional guide. He was super fun and knowledgeable. He gave us many bathroom breaks, which is very helpful when doing long tours. He knew my food restrictions and guided me through the buffet, letting me know what I could and could not eat. The places we visited were stunning. Peter was also a great photographer and took some pictures for us. Overall it was an awesome experience and I highly recommend.Show more

James is a great tour guide, very funny, always worries with the group and eager to help if needed. They picked me at my hotel at time, the bus was very comfortable and we had water waiting has we entered. The boat in Trang An is so beautiful and the Mua Cave is amazing. I recommend you go to the top, however be prepared to climb about 500 steps. But the view and the feeling are amazing! Recommend it!Show more

We had a great time with Viet! He was a good guide who shared interesting facts about Vietnam and taught us the most useful phrase when haggling at markets (which we used the rest of our trip). We absolutely loved the boat ride in Trang An and the views at Mua Cave. Highly recommend if you only have one day to spare for Ninh Binh. The tour also included those conical bamboo hats that we used the entire tour to save us from the sun!Show more
