点评:We were on a small group tour with Justin (and expert driver whose name I cannot spell) for an all day tour of Ninh Binh. This experienced pair picked us up extra early and manoeuvred us (through crazy Hanoi-an peak traffic on both journeys out and back) on a full day’s itinerary that managed to avoid the peak of visitors at each attraction. We visited Hoa Lu citadel (temples), boated through Trang An, enjoyed a set menu (that took account of daughter’s allergy requirements) - then finally, visited Bich Dong (Green Cave Pagoda) as final attraction before returning to Hanoi. Comfy limo-van provided cool respite from sweltering heat. Justin was precise with his explanations (tour guide in English) - not too much explanations - just right! He knew exactly when to let us explore on our own but was always available to answer questions.
There was absolutely zero pressure to buy anything and we were informed of tourist peddlers along the way.
Fantastic day despite the sweltering heat - not to be missed if in Hanoi! This area is a UNESCO site for a reason.
翻译:我们参加了一个小团,和Justin(还有一位我不认识的司机)一起在宁平进行了一日游。这对经验丰富的司机很早就来接我们,并引导我们(往返都穿过了河内拥堵的交通高峰),安排了一整天的行程,避开了每个景点的游客高峰。我们参观了华闾城堡(寺庙),乘船游览了长安,享用了一份套餐(考虑到女儿的过敏要求)——最后,在返回河内之前,我们参观了碧洞(绿洞寺)。舒适的豪华面包车为我们提供了逃离酷暑的凉爽休息。Justin的讲解非常精准(英语导游)——不会讲解太多——恰到好处!他知道什么时候该让我们自己探索,但总是乐于解答我们的问题。
完全没有强迫我们买任何东西的压力,而且我们了解到沿途有旅游小贩。
尽管天气炎热,但这真是美好的一天——在河内,千万不要错过!这片区域被列为联合国教科文组织世界遗产,是有原因的。
