This luxury day tour from Hanoi to Ninh Binh lasts about 8 to 9 hours. It begins with a visit to Hoa Lu, the ancient capital of Vietnam in the 10th century, where visitors can explore temples from the Dinh and Le Dynasties that feature traditional architecture. Next, the tour goes to Mua Cave. Visitors climb to the top of Ngoa Long mountain to enjoy a panoramic view of Tam Coc and Ninh Binh city.
