Booked this day trip to Ninh Binh and it was totally worth it. Hannah was our operator and she was fantastic at keeping everything organized for us. The boat ride in Trang An was the highlight for me, the scenery is just unreal. The cycling bit was a nice chill way to see the village before the hike. Be prepared for a real workout at Mua Cave though because those 500 steps are no joke, but the view at the top makes up for it. Lunch was decent with plenty of options. Highly recommend!Show more

Hi Erik, Thank you so much for joining us and for sharing such a detailed review. We’re happy to hear Hannah kept everything running smoothly and that the Trang An boat ride and peaceful cycling through the village stood out for you. The climb at Mua Cave is definitely a challenge, but we’re glad the panoramic view made it rewarding in the end. So glad to have had you travel with us, and we hope to welcome you back one day. A portion of your booking helps provide meals for children in Hanoi hospitals. Thank you for helping us give back to the community. Best regards, Up Travel Vietnam
