I took the Ninh Binh: Hoa Lu, Trang An & Mua Cave small-group tour on 18 April 2025 and would like to share my feedback.
Everything was well organized from pickup to drop-off. The guide, Hoa, was knowledgeable and very friendly, explaining the history of Hoa Lu and pointing out photo spots. The boat ride in Trang An was a highlight — peaceful and beautiful. Lunch was tasty and served on time. The climb to Mua Cave was worth the effort for the panoramic views.

Michael BrooksGreat full-day tour! Pick-up was punctual, guide was friendly and informative, and Trang An felt like a hidden paradise. Mua Cave view was spectacular. Highly recommended for nature and culture lovers.
