All Day tour to Ninh Binh

The scenery was breathtaking, and we captured numerous photos. The main attractions were the Trang An Grottoes and Mau Caves, featuring incredibly beautiful landscapes with limestone mountains in the background. We also enjoyed navigating through four of the grottoes, the longest of which measured 320 meters. This tour offered great value for the money spent, including a delightful lunch.

The trip was excellently planned. The standout experiences included the boat journey through the caves at Trang An and the trek up Dragon Mountain, both of which were stunningly beautiful. Unfortunately, the morning weather was quite oppressive, making the tour of the ancient capital less enjoyable; however, our guide Thao shared fascinating historical insights. Thao was an outstanding tour guide, and the communication from Hanoi Explore Travel was clear and supportive. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we are truly thankful! We highly recommend this tour.

We had an amazing private journey to Ninh Binh today. The transportation was extremely luxurious and comfortable. The transitions from one activity to the next throughout the day went very smoothly. Our tour guide was highly engaging, ensuring that we felt secure and were always informed about what was happening. My favorite aspect of the trip was the boat ride, along with the opportunity to investigate a cave.
