4.Ninh Binh, Tam Coc, Mua Cave & Hoa Lu with cycling

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 47 reviews · from $33Best value

Travel from Hanoi to Ninh Binh for Hoa Lu, a short cycling ride, a 30-dish Vietnamese buffet, and a Tam Coc boat trip. Choose the Mua Cave option for 500 steps, sunset views, and the famous dragon statue. English-speaking guides include Eden, Ming, and T.

“T was great, very enthusiastic and worked hard to ensure everyone understood the plan and had a good time. Very flexible with swapping our boat trip ticket. Nothing that the tour company can control, but at the top of Mua Cave (laying dragon) the paths are very steep and narrow, and with so many people there trying to take photos it can be difficult to move around safely. Perhaps the people that own Mua Cave need to have people working at the top to manage crowds or implement a one way system for safety. but we had a great time, thank you!”
