Overview

The tour begins with pickup from hotels in Hanoi Old Quarter in a luxury air-conditioned limousine van with strong Wi-Fi. The drive to Ha Nam Province takes about one and a half hours, followed by a short break of 20 to 30 minutes. After the break, the van continues for 30 minutes to Mua Caves. At Mua Caves, guests climb approximately 500 steps to the top of Lying Dragon Mountain, where they can view and photograph the surrounding landscape. Next, the tour includes a cycling ride lasting about 75 minutes through the countryside, including a visit to Bich Dong Pagoda. Following the cycling, guests have lunch at a local restaurant in Tam Coc-Bich Dong, where a Vietnamese set menu is served. Vegetarian or vegan options are available if requested in advance. After lunch, guests walk to the nearby pier for a rowing boat ride through Tam Coc, passing three caves named Ca, Hai, and Ba. This boat trip lasts about one and a half hours. After the boat ride, guests return to the restaurant for a welcome-back drink. The tour then continues with a 30-minute drive to Hoa Lu, the ancient capital of Ninh Binh, where guests visit the temples of the Dinh and Le Dynasties for about 30 minutes. Finally, the group returns to Hanoi Old Quarter by van, completing the full-day tour in approximately 11 to 12 hours. The tour includes a professional English-speaking guide, two bottles of water per person, use of conical hats, cold water, and wet towels during hot weather, all entrance fees and taxes, and a raincoat if it rains. Guests can choose to cycle or, for an additional fee, use a motorbike and driver instead. Pickup and drop-off are included within Hanoi Old Quarter; locations beyond 1.5 kilometers may require an extra charge.
