Overview

The tour begins with a hotel pickup in Hanoi's Old Quarter before traveling to Hoa Lu, the ancient capital of Vietnam during the Dinh and Le dynasties. Visitors spend about two hours exploring the temples dedicated to the Dinh and Le kings and learning about the area's history and culture. Afterward, the group moves to Tam Coc, known as “Ha Long Bay on land,” where a boat ride along the river reveals limestone formations similar to those in Ha Long Bay. This boat trip lasts around two hours and offers views of the landscape and insight into local life. Following the boat excursion, the tour continues with a two-hour trek up Ngoa Long Mountain near Mua Caves. The climb leads to panoramic views over the rice valley and surrounding nature. The tour includes cycling through the countryside, lunch, bottled water, entrance fees, and an English-speaking guide. The full experience lasts between six and twelve hours, depending on conditions and pace.
