Tam Coc is where you need to be as there’s nothing to do in Ninh Binh. ATMs are hard to come by in Tam Coc, so bring enough cash
Beware of Crazy drivers
Homestay food is better than at the restaurants
Two days should be enough to visit all the top places. Ninh Binh is relaxed, so there is no need to rush. Enjoy your time and unwind.
You will need a motorbike or taxi to get around!
Get around by bicycle if the sights are close.
