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

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 47 reviews · from $33

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!”

“Nous avons opté pour cette mini croisière de 2 jours pour son nombre limité de passagers, plus intime que d'autres structures. Nous souhaitions prioriser la baie de Lan Ha à celle de Ha Long, trop touristique. Jackie Tan, de l'agence Halong Dolphin Travail, a été parfait et très réactif pour organiser nos transferts aller et retour. Concernant cette croisière, nous avons apprécié le confort et la propreté de notre chambre, les repas variés ainsi que la gentillesse et le professionnalisme du personnel. Notre guide, alias Tom, a été un excellent animateur. Sorties Kajak ,vélo, et baignade, Ne pas oublier le cours de confection de rouleau de printemps. Pour résumer, nous…”

Travel from Hanoi to Ninh Binh for Hoa Lu’s royal temples, a village bike ride, Vietnamese buffet lunch, and a Tam Coc boat trip through caves and rice fields. The Mua Cave option adds nearly 500 steps to Ngoa Long summit. Guides such as Tum and Ahn keep the day clear and organized.

“Experience for those who love something that goes beyond the classic tourist things. The tour is in fact a trek in a rural area, literally passing through rice fields and villages. The trek itself is not particularly demanding, and I say this despite the fact that it had been pouring rain all day and there was a lot of mud and some slippery spots. The ladies who accompany you are always willing to help you. A note of merit for the Vietnam Nomad Trails hotel, which acts as a pick-up point with the bus, which allows you to leave all the luggage you want, offers rain boots (note that the…”
