This tour is a must and not to be missed when visiting Hanoi. Many activities in one day but yet not tired. Visiting places of worship, hiking, boat ride and cycling all within one day. Thank you to May who is also a local from Ninh Binh, she knows basically everything from history, culture, way of life of locals and has been very helpful. She explained very clearly with good English, and coordinated very well and on time for all places visited. Thank you May! Absolutely brilliant.
