WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
Our tour from Hanoi to Ninh Binh begins at 6:45AM. Waking up early for this tour will ensure that you have the best day ever for three reasons. Firstly, we can avoid the heavy traffic in Hanoi. Navigating through the busy city center can be time-consuming during rush hour. However, if we depart at 6:45AM, we can bypass this congestion and reach Ninh Binh in just 20 minutes, saving us precious time. Secondly, being early birds allows us to beat the crowds at the tourist sites. We can enjoy the attractions without encountering many people or waiting in long queues. This way, we can maximize our time and fully immerse ourselves in the experience. Lastly, starting our morning hike up to Mua cave early helps us beat the heat of the day. We can enjoy the stunning panoramic view of the area while feeling refreshed and energized. "Early to bed, early to rise," let us assist you in having a fantastic day by waking up early and experiencing the best that this tour has to offer.
2.
After a 2-hour car journey from Hanoi, it's time for us to engage in some physical activity by ascending the magnificent natural Great Wall of Mua mountain, as well as exploring the Mua cave. This location offers the most optimal spot to admire the breathtaking panoramic view of the surrounding area. Additionally, embarking on an early hike would allow us to avoid the oppressive heat and the large crowds that gather later in the day. As the day progresses, the heat intensifies and the site becomes heavily thronged by hundreds of thousands of tourists, all due to its viral fame. If you don’t like the touristy hike, alternatively, we have a 300-step, rugged hidden gem hike at the holy and secret mountain where you could feel the serenity of nature and breathtaking panoramic views of the mountains, forest, and surrounding villages.
3.
We then ride to Tam Coc or Trang An, a new addition to UNESCO’s list of heritage sites. It is often referred to as the Halong Bay of the land due to its spectacular scenery. It is a truly wonderful sight to see. We’ll board on row boats for a 2-hour journey through caves, passing local villages along the river system of the Red River Delta. The scenery comprises of lush green rice paddies during the rice growing seasons and the surrounding limestone karsts. Take a seat on the comfortable bamboo boat and soak in the beauty of the surroundings as you glide through the water. Experience the awe-inspiring landscape as you pass through three natural underground caves, all while observing locals engaged in their farming and fishing activities. You may also catch a glimpse of local livestock and cattle along the way. Allow yourself to unwind and appreciate the serene and picturesque boat trip, immersing yourself in the sights and sounds of this remarkable experience.
4.
We will indulge in an authentic Vietnamese dining experience at a local home-hosted restaurant for our lunch. Following this, we will commence our 2-hour Ninh Binh Countryside Vespa/ Jeep tour, which undoubtedly provide the finest means to discover the cultural and natural wonders of Ninh Binh countryside. In the backseat of our skilled drivers, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy a safe and exhilarating ride throughout the area. As you traverse the country-roads, you will be mesmerized by the towering limestone karsts that overlook you, while also taking in the breathtaking scenery. The Ninh Binh countryside Vespa/ Jeep tour offers an epic adventure that allows you to explore the highways and byways of this enchanting locale. En route, we will pass by lush rice paddies, charming farms, and quaint villages, granting us a glimpse into the everyday lives of the countryside-dwelling Vietnamese people.

Explore the captivating Ancient Buddhist Pagoda adorned with traditional Vietnamese architecture and exquisite sculptures. Afterward, embark on a scenic hike up to a natural temple nestled within a cave, where you can immerse yourself in the tranquil ambiance. Follow the trails that lead you up to Bich Dong Peak, and be prepared to be mesmerized by the serene beauty of the surrounding mountainscape. Here, you can revel in the peaceful atmosphere and appreciate the breathtaking views that unfold before your eyes.

This tour is such a wonderful way to experience Ninh Binh. Chris was a brilliant guide and maintained his enthusiasm all day, keeping us entertained throughout the tour. He made us feel very welcome, shared a lot of knowledge about the region and regularly offered to take group photos.

The way the tour is scheduled flows nicely and I loved the variety of activities. It was also fun to explore some hidden gems within the area and be the only tourists at certain sites. Tuyen was a great driver and kindly picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel in Tay Ho. Highly recommended!

Danny was the best tour guide we have ever come across in our travels! Went out of his way to make our experience a memorable one. Highly recommend this tour, they considered everything from cold towels to ponchos. If you can, do the Vespa tour - tons of fun. Thanks Danny for an amazing adventure-filled day 😁😁

We had a fabulous time in our private tour with our family of 6. Dani was the best tour guide. He provided everything we could possibly need and was very entertaining while also being very informative.

We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this tour to our friends and especially Dani who was the best tour guide we’ve ever had.

Thanks for such a great experience!

A great day out for the whole family, we were traveling as a family with two teenagers and the tour kept us all busy and engaged for the entire day. It was a bit hot and sweaty, but we accepted the challenges and loved every minute.
The jeep was a highlight

Amazing day out of Hanoi. Incredible views everywhere, with a bit of everything - hiking, boating and jeeping. Han is an amazing guide, with a lot of local knowledge, and a huge passion for the history of the area. Couldn't recommend this more.

This guided tour of Ninh Binh/Tam Coc was an experience I'll never forget. A highlight of mine (and most other tours I researched didn’t offer this) is the jeep ride through the local village, countryside and to a remote temple and cave. Exploring the caves and seeing the natural rock formations inside the caves was an incredible experience.

A special shout-out to our guide, Chris, who made our visit to Tam Coc truly exceptional. Chris was incredibly knowledgeable, organized, and attentive to our needs. He provided fascinating insights into the local culture and history, and his enthusiasm added greatly to our overall experience.

Overall, Ninh Binh/Tam Coc is a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Vietnam. It’s a standout location. I highly recommend this tour to get all of the benefits that ninh binh has to offer.
