There are many option for homestay in Ninh Binh that offer cheap price and good services. Since you need to do private tour for this route (no-customer for join) so price will a bit high, if you do classic one like Hoa lu - Tam Coc, Trang An - Bai Dinh we can put you on a group for cheaper.

Seeking a smaller, more luxurious experience, Haley found the perfect cruise company and boat for us. The trip was flawless. Haley also arranged our hotel transfers to and from Ha Long Bay, ensuring everything ran smoothly and checking in to confirm our safe transport.
Our second trip was to Ninh Binh. Preferring a more intimate experience, Haley recommended and organized a private tour that perfectly suited our budget. She took great care in researching and suggesting tours that fit our preferences and schedule.
Haley’s dedication makes her a valuable asset to Best Price Travel Hanoi. I highly recommend both the company and Haley to anyone planning a visit to Hanoi or Vietnam. Less

The highlight was definitely the Halong Bay cruise. It was my birthday, and the crew went all out. They upgraded my room and decked it out with birthday decorations in both the room and dining area.
Just a heads-up: ask about the different room types at the hotels because some rooms have no view and just face a wall.

The hotel is nice and modern, with a great location. The breakfast is big, and the rooms are comfy, plus there's a spacious pool. Our guide was awesome, sharing interesting facts and making the trip more enjoyable. The local people were friendly and welcoming, and the local food was tasty.
