Had a great 2-day trip to Ninh Binh with our guide Alex. The highlight of the trip was cycling through the countryside enjoying the views of the rice paddies and geological formations. If you are looking for a unique experience while in Vietnam look no further.

This tour has been the highlight of our trip to Vietnam. The ride in the limousine van from Hanoi to Ninh Binh was pleasant and comfortable. The boat trip down the river and the bike rides featured stunning views and we visited some very interesting locations such as a bird’s sanctuary in an eco-lodge. Our accommodation and the food were excellent. Alex has been an absolutely amazing guide- very thoughtful, knowledgeable and accommodating. He was engaged, organized and genuinely concerned with making sure we had a good time. Overall it was a wonderful experience. I would strongly recommend Alex and the tour to anyone.

First. I love our tour guide, Fun! He is a man that wore many hats during our short but sweet visit to Ninh Bình. A tour guide, an entertainer, a teacher, and a photographer! We picked the 2d1n option and I love that he was so knowledgeable and familiar w the area. You'll be in good hands booking this tour and if you're lucky, you'll get Fun. Have fun :)
