Christopher John – Australia

We absolutely loved our tour which we booked through Jackie from Dolphin Travel who was helpful from the time we booked and answered all of our questions. Our Guides were exceptional, very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. They looked after us well. Food throughout was delicious. I have food allergies and nothing was too much trouble. Our Lab Ha cruise boat was charming. Ninh Binh is beautiful and a must see. Amazing trip!

The cruise was fantastic, great food and great accomodation. Tom was our tour guide on tje boat and he was funny and kbowledgable about Cat Ba history and cultures, making my cruise journey unforgettable with fun activities like kayaking, swimming and karaoke! The Ninh Binh tour was fun, bring us to many different places like the temples and pagodas. Climbing the 500 steps up was challenging but it was worth the view. At lastly, the boat ride was super unique, showcasing the fantastic landscape of Nihn Binh. 10/10 would recommend!
