Full description
Leave behind the busy life of Hanoi for a day and submerge yourself in the breathtakingly serene South Vietnamese countryside. Commence your excursion with a convenient pickup from your accommodation or designated meetup spot in Hanoi Old Quarter, and make your way south to Ninh Binh province. Pay a visit to the former capital, Hoa Lu, granting you an hour to stroll through this stunning historic city.
Subsequently, ascend to the summit of the Mua Caves Viewpoint to take in sweeping vistas of Tam Coc, followed by a scrumptious Vietnamese meal at a local eatery.
Post lunch, step aboard a traditional sampan watercraft and revel in a 90-minute cruise on the Ngo Dong river, cruising through three of Tam Coc’s most renowned caves: Hang Ca, Hang Hai, and Hang Ba. Embark on your return to Hanoi in the late afternoon, ensuring your arrival just in time for your evening meal.

  • Be sure to bring sunglasses, sun cream, and your camera. You’ll also need shoes and short trousers for the cycling part of the tour.

Excellent experience - Eric was an excellent guide, he speaks excellent and clear English, provides accurate details and explanations making the tour and visits interesting. The itinerary was respected and the places visited were wonderful, one of the few non-tourist experiences in close contact with the territory.

Must do activities - The tour to Ninh Binh with Eric was very amazing. We really enjoyed the trekking to Mua Cave, the boat trip in Trang An and finally the Hoa Lu ancient capital. Eric explained very well about everything and answered all of our questions. Recommend this young and enthusiastic tour guide for everyone.

Ninh Bình - Crossing Vietnam Tour is the best travel agency I’ve worked with since living in Việt Nam. Friendly and helpful staff members. Would recommend them to anyone traveling from Hà Nội.
