Review about Ninh Binh Travel

“Ninh Binh is not a very attractive town but it does have more resources like restaurants and shops. Tam Coc is small but quite attractive. It can get very busy with tour groups during the day and is quiet in the early morning and late afternoon and night.”
From Violets

“Tam coc is the place to stay as you can do the boat trip early in the morning before the touts and tourists arrive. I then went back to my hotel for breakfast, hired a bicycle, and spent the day exploring. There were loads of motorbikes and bicycles for rent in Tam coc.”
From Mp63

“Kenh Ga scenery is beautiful but it is one-hour motorbike drive from Tam Coc via Hoa Lu end Bai Dinh. You stay in TAM COC, which is in the middle of a myriad of beautiful sites.”
