I think I got lucky that my hotel helped me book this Ninh Binh day tour with Aloha. From the pick up to the hotel to the activities and even the lunch, it has been really well planned and organised. Our guide, Phong, made sure everyone was well looked after throughout the day. A special shoutout to our driver as well, Lucky (if i got his name right), who was so good at driving on really narrow roads! We had such a great day and would definitely recommend Aloha for a Ninh Binh day tour.
I had a great time exploring Ninh Binh with this travel experience! The tour guide (Mr. Nguyen) was incredibly knowledgeable and encouraged us to ask any questions we had to learn more about the history of the area. He also told funny jokes! The driver Lucky was also great at navigating us between destinations! The day trip has a great variety of activities- from the steps up to the Lying Dragon Mountain epic views to bike riding through rice fields and a relaxing boat ride. Definitely recommend this trip to someone who wants to maximize their day exploring Ninh Binh!
Phong was a great tour guide and great driving by Lucky! A very well run and organised day out the entire time.
Was able to see the highlights of Ninh Binh with great pace. Comfortable transportation, sufficient time at each place, and very informative. Phuong was a great guide - made everyone engaged and was very easy going. Would recommend!
trip was amazing from pickup to drop off. Jerry has organised everything so flawless. her english is very good and she is very witty, it was pleasant experience all the way through.
Jerry was punctual, clear and witty! She was experienced with leading the tour and taught us about Vietnamese history to further understand how Ninh binh was an essential city. This tour was very physical and she made sure all of us was safe prior to each event.
Amazing and relaxing experience in Ninh Binh. You get to see a temple, pagoda, mountainous views, bike through Ninh Binh, and see limestone formations and lotus flowers on a boat tour. I would highly recommend this tour, Jerry is an excellent guide and there is flexibility on how far you want to hike or where you want to wander in certain spots. Plus you stop at shop on the way and can buy handcrafted items for family if interested.
Jimmy our tourguide and our driver done well for taking us in the Ninh Binh tour for a day. It is a very nice experienced here in Hanoi for a day tour. We did a boat ride, bike ride to go to the Pagodas and Caves.
Jimmy and our driver were awesome. This trip covered all of the highlights of Ninh Binh and did it in a way that did not feel rushed. The lunch was great, plenty of water was provided, and the transport was comfortable. There were plenty of opportunities for pictures and for each individual to decide what they wanted to do in each place. I would highly recommend this tour especially for couples!
Huong took very good care of us all day. We wanted to explore the city of Ninh Binh to be exposed to more of Vietnam’s south. We received a brief history of all of the sites and then were exposed to pagodas, temples, and beautiful scenery. We got to ride bikes, boats, and climb! Highly recommend for a quick day trip to see Vietnam’s beautiful scenery.
