About this tour
The trip to Ninh Binh brings you back to an ancient time of Vietnam, before Hanoi took over this role 1,000 years before. With solemn temples, hard-working and hospitable people, tranquil paddy fields and especially incredible karst landscape, Ninh Binh is so-called “Halong-Bay-In-Land” by many tourists.
