3.Ninh Binh Jeep Adventure: Temples, Lotus, Fishing & Cooking

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 5 reviews · 8h 30m · from $30Best value

Explore Ninh Binh by open-air Jeep, visiting temples, lotus ponds, villages, and local homes for fishing and cooking.

“We hebben prachtige uitzichten gehad. Wel hadden we geen gids en kregen we geen water terwijl dit wel beloofd werd. Jammer. Alle bezienswaardigheden hebben we zelf apart moeten betalen terwijl de trip zelf al €18 kost. Deze kost is dus puur voor het vervoer. Als je deze trip wil doen zou ik zelf je vervoer regelen, dan ben je goedkoper af.”
