Last december I went to Ninh Binh and choose one day trip from Hanoi with Bee Bee Travel, I really enjoyed with the trip. My tour guide name is Dung, his English name is Franky. He is sooooo friendly also he help me much when I was tired from the climb. He talked to me as a close friend. Dung is good person, hope can meet him again soon when I go back to Vietnam someday.
That was awesome trip with Bee Bee Travel for 2 days Ninh Binh trip from Hanoi. Only 2 hours drive there, we visited Hoa Lu- the first capital of Dai Co Viet in 10th and 11th century. When we reached Hoa Lu, we were so impressed of much quiet mountainous area. May be, we chose good travel agent that only organised the trip in small group. We went into Dinh King temple before moving to opposite site named: Tuyet Tinh Coc – it is a blue Lake in the valley where many couples took wedding pictures. We also got boat trip in the same day and stayed in really really nice Bungalow with river view and garden view. The second day that made me gave 5 stars review by spending many hours to see Mua Cave sunrise. We climb up the mountain to see all view with funny and friendly guides. Keep up a good work! We recommend Thu and her team to every one!
This was definitely worth the trip! The old capital is well-preserved and rich in history. The boat ride through the underground caves was fun. And the national park and King Kong movie set had one of the most breathtaking views I had ever seen.
Everything went on smoothly. Our tour guide Phuong was very friendly and she even gave us recommendations of places to dine around Hanoi.
