He was willing to change our itinerary for us, which was a plus.and took us on a nature walk instead of the second boat trip. We loved that part, since we all have an interest in it.He also advised us to take route 1 on the boat trip, because he knew we didn’t like crowds. We had a great lunch afterwards, at a different restaurant than originally planned, for the same reason of avoiding crowded, tourist places.……………….
The only negative was the second restaurant we at at in Ninh Binh. The food was very mediocre and the service unfriendly. I would never choose to go back there and I think you should look into another option Less
Rosie organized a two-day private excursion to Mai Chau, a group tour to Ninh Binh, and a private motorcycle around Hanoi for us. She organized and responded quickly. Our experience was excellent.

We wanted to visit Trang An grottoes and, based on TripAdvisor reviews, I sent an email to BestPrice Travel and asked my hotel to call them to check on the price as well. The price given to the hotel (lower) and the one quoted in the email (1.5 times higher) were different, so to avoid any misunderstandings, I decided to go to their office. However, it turned out that the office was the business processing center and not a customer service area.
I would like to thank Vanais for the great customer service she provided. She spoke with the front desk staff at my hotel and explained that the price quoted in the email was a mistake. Basically, for each trip, the price per person is listed in bold, and the price decreases as the number of people increases. The staffer who sent me the quote by email was not aware of this. My suggestion to BestPrice Travel is to better train their staff. For travelers booking through BestPrice Travel, I suggest entering the total number of people in your group in the booking box to check the actual price. Do not go with the price per person listed in bold if you are more than one person.
I insisted that they provide a guide who could speak English clearly and was interested in sharing his country's history and culture, and would not spend the whole day texting on his phone. The day trip from Hanoi included a visit to two temples in Hoa Lu and a two-hour boat ride through the Trang An Caves. BestPrice Travel's driver showed up on time the next day, and our tour guide, Alex, was knowledgeable and interested in sharing facts about Vietnamese culture and history. We had a great time, and I even posted pictures of the trip on the Trang An Grottes review page. Less
On time; Enjoyable trip. Good experience.
Drinks like tea/water for lunch not provided. Ripped off by the restaursnt on coconut ordered at 60,000 Dong each! Could get it for 40,000 Dong in Hanoi. Were not told of the price at time of order.

To put it simply, I adore this place. The travel agent, Mario, who helped me set up lodging and sightseeing, was excellent. My questions and emails are always swiftly responded to by him. We spent our final two days in Vietnam taking a guided trip of Ninh Binh and our tour guide was fantastic! Mr. Phuong was able to address all of our inquiries in detail because of his fluency in English, that guy blows my mind. This tour has been the finest one I've had on my trip. He takes great care and I can see a lot of pride in his work. Your travel agency and accompany were excellent. Next year, you can count on me to return. Less
