★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4,384 reviews · from $33Our pick

Full-day Ninh Binh tour from Hanoi with Hoa Lu temples, Tam Coc bamboo boat, optional village bike ride, and Mua Cave steps.

“We booked our full-day tour in Ninh Binh at the very last minute after hearing so many incredible things from other travelers—and it ended up being one of the absolute highlights of our Vietnam trip, right up there with Sa Pa and Ha Long Bay. Yes, it is touristy, but honestly, it’s easy to see why. The boat ride through the river, surrounded by towering limestone mountains and lush scenery, is simply jaw-dropping.

“I'm very torn on how to write this review... Our guide was great- good English, very energetic. Van was comfortable. Temple stop was nice, good information by our guide. I think we stayed too long though. Everyone was just standing around and we could have gotten on the road to the next stop. The cycling was only ok. Very old bikes and not really much to see on the route, especially when trying to dodge potholes. It was extremely hot but that is not the fault of the company. Lunch was not good. Not only was the food sub par but I also found something in one of the dishes…”
