Situated 97 km south of Hanoi, Binhbinh is a must-see destination when travelling to the North of Vietnam.Located outside of Ninh Binh town, Tam Coc is one of the best nature destinations in the country but less touristic. Well- known for its karst landscape which is similar to the better known Halong Bay, Tam Coc features scenic limestone hills which are dotted amongst emerald green rice paddies. Another popular spot is Cuc Phuong National Park- The first National Park in Vietnam, which is famous for its diversity in fauna and flora. Apart from its natural beauty, it would be a big mistake not mentioning Ninhbinh's manmade architectures. The most well-known one is Bai Dinh temple, the biggest buddhist temple in the world.
But no trip to Ninhninh is complete without a visit to Hoa Lu, the old capital of Vietnam, even before Hanoi. Even though most of the relics are gone, temples and shrines reminding tourists about its glorious past are still present.
Why people love Ninh Binh
Convenient, easy
The pick up was fast and convenient from Ninh Binh. We stopped for a 10 minute break in between the trip and the journey to Hanoi was smooth.Review on TripAdvisor
Go with this company. I heard many stories about no communications and horrible riding conditions on other booking sites. But A21 was different.
I took a van for Hanoi to Ninh Binh and back. Both times the communication through whatsapp was flawless. I'm guessing that they assign a person to you so that you are interacting with the same person the whole time. The agent for me was Phuong and she did an excellent job. Answering all my questions and updating me on when the van will arrive and checking to see if im on it.
I also had to change the time of my trip and Phuong changed it no problem.
As for the van, I believe they don't own the vans so they hire outside van companies. But I think A21 keep a close contact with them so that everythig will run smoothly.
Overall, very pleased to have gone with them. If you have any doubt, choose them and they will take care of you.

Highly recommended transfers
We initially considered booking our transfer between Hanoi and Ninh Binh (Trang An) through 12go.asia, a popular platform. However, after seeing mostly underwhelming reviews regarding the transfer carriers, particularly concerning multiple vehicle changes (3-4 times), we opted for a more reliable option.We discovered a21tours's transfer services and decided to give them a try. Upon attempting to confirm our reservation through their provided payment link, we encountered an unknown error. After notifying their WhatsApp support, they promptly provided another link, which unfortunately still didn't work. Fortunately, they offered the option to pay the driver directly upon pickup, which was incredibly convenient.
Despite initial uncertainty about whether the driver would drop us off at our remote Homestay, everything went smoothly, with only one vehicle change necessary due to the narrow path to our accommodation. We also booked our return transfer with them, which was equally hassle-free.
The drivers were courteous and drove safely throughout the journey. Overall, no complaints about the experience.

Perfection!!
We stumbled over A21 only a few weeks before or trip to Vietnam. From the first minute, the contact was fast, professional and accurate. Where we were just looking for an airport transport to Hanoi, we rapidly felt comfortable to engage with A21 for most of our transport around Hanoi (from Hanoi to Halong Bay, Halong Nay to Ninh Binh and back to Hanoi). Al trips were handled perfectly: pick up/drop off at hotel, always on time, comfortable cars, close follow up on the day of travel and even during the drives for longer distances, extremely friendly staff and fair pricing.I can only recommend their services
Dear A21, again Thank you!!
