A highlight of our Vietnam trip – unforgettable days in Pu Luong and Ninh Binh
Our 3-day journey through Pu Luong and Ninh Binh with Divi Travel exceeded our expectations from start to finish and became one of the most memorable parts of our trip to Vietnam.
Everything was handled professionally and smoothly. Wendy was the kindest and most helpful organizer we could have wished for. She was always responsive, attentive, and made us feel well taken care of from the planning process.
The tour was thoughtfully planned and offered a perfect balance of sightseeing, traditional activities, and free time. It was incredible how much we were able to experience within just three days, only a few hours from Hanoi.
Pu Luong was an absolute highlight, with breathtaking landscapes and a unique opportunity to get a close glimpse into local life through authentic community experiences. The rice terraces, peaceful atmosphere, and stunning scenery were unforgettable.
Ninh Binh was equally impressive, and we had the chance to visit some of its most beautiful UNESCO World Heritage sites. As an extra recommendation, if you have a free evening in Ninh Binh, we highly recommend visiting Hoa Lu Old Town.
If you only have three days available, this tour is an excellent way to discover the region in a short time. However, if your schedule allows, we would recommend choosing a longer tour to fully immerse yourself in everything these beautiful destinations have to offer.
The accommodations were clean and comfortable. We highly recommend booking a room with a view of the rice terraces in Pu Luong—the view was simply breathtaking.
The meals included during the trip were excellent. We appreciated the variety, quality, and the opportunity to experience authentic local cuisine.
Transportation throughout the tour was punctual, comfortable, and completely stress-free. Everything ran smoothly, allowing us to fully enjoy the journey.
We are truly grateful for the wonderful memories created during these three days. The attention to detail, warm hospitality, and excellent organization made this trip incredibly special. We would wholeheartedly recommend Divi Travel to anyone looking for a memorable and worry-free travel experience, and we would be delighted to travel with them again in the future.
Thank you, Wendy and the entire Divi Travel team, for an unforgettable experience!

Everything completely taken care of - GREAT
Loved the trip. At every stage, they handled all details. I was picked up and taken on great tours. Thank you Wendy for making this trip so memorable!
Pulong is such a peaceful area. Loved getting to into the nature reserve area and also to meet local people. Especially loved the bamboo "factory" where we got to meet the lovely couple. They sat with us and talked.
Ninh Binh has so much to see. We were taken to all the great spots. Had plenty of time to explore and take it all in
Would very much recommend this travel service

Pu Luong and Ninh Binh (3D2N)
I had a wonderful journey on the country side / in the Ninh Binh Area. In Pu Luong I stayed at the Ecolux Spa, a very nice accommodation with pool (which, unfortunately, due to the temperature I could only look at:)). As it was a little chilly the staff provided heaters, which made the difference. The guides, Nga, Tiep and John were incredibly friendly and did an amazing job introducing us to the local culture. Amongst other we went on a trekking, visited local markets, enjoyed lunch on a bamboo boat, went on a (very) short bike tour, took a cruise on the river... I particularly liked the smaller size of the groups. I would recommend the trip to everyone who ‘needs’ to escape the busy cities and would like to learn about a different ethnic group.
Operator response
Thank you very much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review. We’re truly pleased to hear that your journey through Ninh Binh and Pu Luong was both enjoyable and meaningful, and that the accommodation, activities, and overall atmosphere met your expectations. It’s wonderful to know that the small group size, visits to local markets, trekking, river experiences, and cultural interactions helped create a relaxing and authentic escape from the busy cities. Your feedback is greatly valued by our entire team, as it motivates us to continue offering well-organized and enriching travel experiences. We sincerely appreciate your trust and support, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again on another journey in the future.

3 perfect days in nature
Excellent quality/price, if you are in Hanoi you can do this tour starting from there and you do not have to worry about anything. You do a lot of activities and you see the whole landscape, which is amazing. More than recommended if you want to escape a little from the city and the super tourist areas.
Our guide, the Nga, was super friendly and gave us information all the time, could not be better.

Phu Luong homestay and trip to village for cooking and meeting the locals.
Nga Lila was our guide. She was very helpful and insightful into local culture. Unfortunately our trip was disrupted due to a tropical storm however Lila made up for this.

Beautiful adventure in Vietnam!
It was a very fun and beautiful experience. With the weather, we could only do safe activities. Pu lounge was my favorite and going to the amazing waterfall with Nga, pir tour guide, was amazing. Sadly because of the weather we were limited. Nga cooked us a home cooked hot pot and took great care of us.
Sadly, A few of the drivers we had were rude and didn't help with bags at all and smoked at every stop and slemmed strongly of cigarettes.
Operator response
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! 🌿 We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed Pu Luong, the waterfall visit, and especially our guide’s warm hospitality and delicious home-cooked hotpot. We truly regret that the weather limited some activities and that a few drivers did not meet the level of service we expect. Your feedback is very valuable, and we will address this immediately with our team to ensure a more professional experience in the future. We hope to welcome you back again for an even better journey
