Amazing tour with one of the best guide ever met: Phil! - Trang An is absolutely stunning – peaceful rivers, dramatic limestone cliffs, and beautiful caves. A truly magical place! What made it even better was our guide, Phil. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate, sharing great insights that brought the whole experience to life. Highly recommend this tour – and if you can, ask for Phil!

Intimate and Authentic Experience - Though this tour was one of the most expensive for Ninh Binh, we definitely could see the differences in service, quality, and attention. The van was very luxurious, new, and clean. The seats reclined and additionally had footrests. The driver drove very safely and took routes to avoid traffic. Oftentimes other bus drivers speed and are more reckless. However, the particular driver was very careful and efficient. Our tour guide Hung was extremely attentive, detailed, and sweet. We could tell he really loves his job, and he was very well versed in history whilst adding his own personal touch. The experience was very nice as it didn't feel too crowded or touristy. Everything was much more intimate as opposed to the regular tourist traps. For instance, the biking experience through Tam Coc, the stop by a village home to see their life style, the canoeing through Ninh Binh. Perhaps our travel on Monday made a difference as the areas weren't as overflowing with people. Overall a great experience. It is worth the extra few dollars for exceptional service.

Gorgeous - Hung, a very nice tour in Tam Coc. I recommend it, the landscapes are unforgettable, even if the climb to see the view from above is quite difficult.

Ninh Binh Tour - Hung was well spoken in English, unfortunately ,he needs to learn when welcoming you for the first time not to ignore you by talking to the hotel reception. I found this extremely rude. Once trip was completed we completed a hand written review along with a digital review both he asked to give a 5 star review on and highlight his name with excellent communication and service which I didn’t feel comfortable with. I think when you’re paying a premium price for a service you shouldn’t be forced to write a misleading review. Dropping hints during the day about tipping isn’t really except able, I was disappointed that our boat trip didn’t fully return to starting point to review out photos as other tour guides did. A big thanks to your bus driver he was a extremely professional driver.
