There are many option for homestay in Ninh Binh that offer cheap price and good services. Since you need to do private tour for this route (no-customer for join) so price will a bit high, if you do classic one like Hoa lu - Tam Coc, Trang An - Bai Dinh we can put you on a group for cheaper.

The hotel is nice and modern, with a great location. The breakfast is big, and the rooms are comfy, plus there's a spacious pool. Our guide was awesome, sharing interesting facts and making the trip more enjoyable. The local people were friendly and welcoming, and the local food was tasty.
We had a wonderful experience in Cuc Phuong National Park. The guide took us on walks in the forest and gave many wonderful information, which added to the experience.
This is a green and fresh space, coming from the city you can immediately feel the freshness of the air. There are many butterflies and flowers in here. A nice getaway from your city life.
Tom was a fantastic guide. You witness a lot in a single day. The tour was fantastic! We knew a little Vietnamese, which was helpful while partaking in activities and mingling with the locals, so we're expecting that the guides will be able to accompany us on the activities and explain things to people who don't know the language.
This trip is a breath of fresh air. I love the scenery of Trang An. The boat trip through the karst mountain was mesmerizing. I took so many pictures there.
Overall. The service was 10/10.
The temple visit was remarkable, and the lunch provided was absolutely fantastic. However, my personal favorite was the motorbike ride. It is highly recommended to tip around 50k per guest, as their service is truly deserving of recognition. During the ride, you can enjoy stunning views that were featured… More The temple visit was remarkable, and the lunch provided was absolutely fantastic.
