Spend eight hours exploring rural Ninh Binh by licensed motorbike driver, with a local English-speaking guide. Visit Thai Vi Temple, ride a water buffalo, feed ducks, join a cooking class, bathe in a stream, and pass rice fields, lotus ponds, villages, and local roads.

“Amazing trip! The tour guides picked us up at our hotel even though it was outside of the pick up range. They expertly drove us through the rice fields and countryside of Ninh Binh showing us some amazing sights we might not have thought to go to. They took lovely photos of us and made sure we were well fed throughout the trip. They were flexible to changing the trip itinerary to make sure we didn’t repeat things we had already done. It was a great and comprehensive trip that we would definitely do again if we were back!”

4.Ninh Binh Motorbike Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2 reviews · from $36

Spend a full day riding through Ninh Binh villages and rice fields with an English-speaking guide. Practice first, then visit Bich Dong Pagoda, cook spring rolls and grilled fish, feed ducks, ride a buffalo, bathe in a stream, and finish with a Thung Nham boat trip. Self-driving and easy-rider options are available.

“It was a great experience. In the GetGuide app when purchasing the pack, it does not correspond to the actual activities that we are going to do. But for the better! We catch fish with our hands, cook, plant rice, feed buffaloes and ducks. And our guide was impeccable and had a great command of the region's history. We were extremely lucky. He took us beyond the activities, to do a tour of the city because we were only going to stay one day in Ninh Binh.”
