Traveller reviews
From the seat of an open-air vintage Jeep, Ninh Binh unfolds one quiet rural lane at a time — emerald rice paddies, lotus ponds, Thai Vi Temple, Bich Dong Pagoda, Tam Coc’s winding river caves and the Dragon Peak of Hang Mua. Here is what recent guests had to say about travelling with our Eco Trip Asia team.
“Riding the open-air vintage Jeep through Ninh Binh’s quiet villages to Thai Vi Temple and Bich Dong Pagoda was magical! Then the 2-hour Tam Coc boat ride and climbing Mua Cave gave us the best views in Vietnam. Highly recommend Eco Trip Asia!”
“Most tour companies skip the backroads, but Ninh Binh Jeep Tours by Eco Trip Asia took us through emerald rice paddies and karst cliffs that felt like a fairytale movie set. The local set-menu lunch was delicious!”
“Tam Coc was so peaceful with the local rowers paddling with their feet. Visiting Bich Dong Pagoda and Thai Vi Temple by open-air Jeep brought the whole day to life. Super easy booking over WhatsApp with Eco Trip Asia!”
“The sheer size of Bai Dinh Pagoda and the 500 Arhat statues was breathtaking. The lunch had tons of vegetarian options. Highly recommend booking directly through Eco Trip Asia's Ninh Binh Jeep division!”
“We took hundreds of cinematic photos from the open-air Jeep, at Hang Mua Dragon Peak and in the Tam Coc caves. The guide was respectful, on time, and knew all the best vantage points without crowds. 10/10!”
“The limestone tunnels in Tam Coc and Trang An are a natural wonder. Very comfortable Limo Green transportation from Hanoi and awesome vintage Jeep ride in Ninh Binh. Thank you Eco Trip Asia!”
“It was fantastic. The open-air Jeep takes you to truly beautiful rural lanes in Ninh Binh and gives you a real taste of the countryside around Tam Coc and Bich Dong Pagoda.”
“I recommend the tour first because an open-air Jeep can go places a tour bus would struggle — right through rice fields to Thai Vi Temple — and our Eco Trip Asia guide was outstanding.”
“Great staff! From the 06:40 AM Limo Green pickup in Hanoi Old Quarter to the 2-hour Jeep ride and Tam Coc sampan boat, everything ran like clockwork.”
