What a wonderful trip with a small group, 4 of us, to see breathtaking sceneries of the northern Vietnam’s countryside. We were fortunate to have our guide, Tom, who speaks English well and possesses the knowledge of the area. The bike tour thru the village and meeting the local people are so pleasant. The pictures we took at the sunset are so precious to us to have as the memories of this tour. Thank you Tom, together with our companion, Jeremy and Caitlyn who make our trip so pleasant, enjoyable and memorable for the friendship and beautiful memories we will forever cherish.
On a side note, it is rare to see a tour guide to turn back half of our tip in Vietnam, but we are very appreciate to Tom for doing that. Tom, you are the best.

Amazing time with the best tour guide Ever Felix. Super friendly, very energetic, knowledgeable, amazing picturetaker, you couldn’t ask for more. The best parts were biking around the beautiful nature of Ninh Binh. Definitely worth doing two days one night. Give Felix a raise!

Absolutely amazing! It's been the highlight of our trip so far. There was just us on most of the tour which was great.
The activities were great and the views are a must see if you're going to Vietnam.
The homestay was so nice, we stayed at Lalita Tam Coc Resort. Its situated in a great spot with beautiful landscape surrounding it.
Our guide was Tom and he was amazing, really nice guy and great knowledge of the place, its like you were being taken round by your friend. It was also great as he offered to take photos for us throughout the trip.
Everything was well organised and the timing for everything was smooth and worked well.
We could have stayed for several days as it was so pretty.
Really worth a go if you get the chance!

We were a couple in a group of 8. We were picked up from our hotel in a mini bus and travelled to Ninh Binh with our excellent driver ( sorry can't remember his name) and tour guide Alex. Firstly Alex was a superb guide, very friendly, excellent English and very knowledgible. We had a lot of rain, but thoroughly enjoyed this well organised trip. The scenery is just incredible. I really enjoyed the boat trip, bird sanctuary and cycling.
Our hotel for one night was very good. The food on the trip was lovely too. I would definitely recommend this tour company.

My partner and I had an excellent time on this trip. The driver was very skilled and the tour guide Alex was amazing.
There was a good quantity of activities without feeling rushed. We ended up climbing the 500 steps and doing the cycling in the rain, but the rain did not take away from the activities.
The food was always excellent and they catered for vegetarians really well.

Thank you Tom this was a wonderful experience. You managed to pack so much into our 2day overnight stay in Dinh Binh. This will go down as one of those experiences my self and daughter will remember for a long time. The resort was of a high standard. The lunchtime food along with dinner was excellent. The cycle rides we did through the rice fields and countryside was very much a high point of the tour. The temples and pagoda’s were also of much interest. The final day in the sampan be rowed through the beautiful scenery was a highlight. Happy New Year Tom.

I did the 2 Day Ninh Binh tour with my amazing guide Alex and I had the best time! The high quality service from this company made this whole experience so smooth. Alex is a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. I was able to bike in so many areas that I wouldn’t have been able to find, If I were to go by myself and experienced a wide variety of food with the menu that this company provides! Lot’s of beautiful scenery to be found here. Can’t thank Alex, the driver, and everyone else enough! Would recommend booking this tour. 2 Days is SO worth it for an outdoor and relaxing experience like this. Thank you l!
