07.45 Commence your journey from your accommodation or specified address to Ninh Binh.
10.00 Engage with a local family residing in the Tam Coc vicinity. This family epitomizes traditional Vietnamese living, with three successive generations under one roof. During your visit, you’ll have the opportunity to observe their abode’s design, witness their everyday routines, and see them craft traditional embroidery.
10:30 After bidding farewell to the family, embark on a bicycle tour to traverse the verdant rice paddies and the distinctive karst topography.
12:00 Return to the family’s residence for a delectable local meal that reflects the harmonious yin-yang principle of Asian gastronomy. Post-lunch, relax with a soothing cup of tea before resuming your exploration of Ninh Binh.
13.30 Set sail on a quaint boat in Tam Coc, maneuvered by a local for approximately 1.5 hours. This tranquil voyage along the river, bordered by majestic limestone formations and rice fields (especially picturesque during the harvest), is reminiscent of “Halong Bay on land.”
15:30 Proceed to Hoa Lu, the erstwhile seat of Vietnamese sovereignty in the 10th century, and pay homage at King Dinh’s temple. With guidance from our local expert, delve into the annals of Vietnam’s past.
16.30 Depart from Ninh Binh and head directly to Hanoi.
18:30 Your return to Hanoi marks the conclusion of the trip, as you are escorted back to your lodging or specified Hanoi address.
