This small group tour for 8 people lasts about 11 hours and starts with a pickup from hotels or private addresses in Hanoi’s Old Quarter between 7:15 and 7:45 in the morning. The group travels by bus to Ninh Binh Province. The first stop is Hang Mua, where participants hike up Ngoa Long Mountain for panoramic views of Tam Coc and the surrounding area. After the hike, the group cycles through local villages and rice fields near Tam Coc, including a visit to a traditional three-generation Vietnamese family home to observe their architecture and daily life. In the afternoon, the tour continues with a one-and-a-half-hour boat ride along the river in Tam Coc, where a local rows the boat past limestone mountains and rice paddies. The final stop is Hoa Lu, the ancient capital of Vietnam in the 10th century, where the group visits the temple of King Dinh and learns about the area’s history from the English-speaking guide. The return trip to Hanoi takes about two hours. The tour includes Vietnamese lunch, three bottles of water per person (two on the bus and one for cycling), cycling equipment, boat and sightseeing fees, an English-speaking guide, and round-trip hotel pickup and drop-off in the Old Quarter. Vegetarian meals are available if requested in advance. Travel insurance and personal expenses such as tips are not included.
