Highlights

Experience three scenic attractions in one full-day, small-group tour to Ninh Binh: Mua Cave, Tam Coc, and Hoa Lu. Ninh Binh is often called "Ha Long Bay on land" due to its stunning limestone karst landscapes. The lush greenery, tranquil rivers, and towering cliffs provide a picturesque backdrop that is both serene and awe-inspiring. The boat ride through Tam Coc showcases the region's natural beauty, with winding waterways flanked by rice paddies and dramatic rock formations. This offers a unique perspective of the landscape, particularly in the quieter, less crowded parts of the region. Visiting Hoa Lu gives you a glimpse into Vietnam's history as it was the capital in the 10th and 11th centuries. Climbing up to Mua Cave rewards you with panoramic views of the Tam Coc Valley. The hike is a bit challenging but immensely rewarding, providing a bird's eye view of the entire area and a sense of accomplishment.

About Hanoi

Hanoi, Vietnam's capital, mixes lakeside temples, French colonial boulevards and an Old Quarter where street food and scooters fill every lane.

The Old Quarter's narrow streets, each once devoted to a single trade, sit just north of Hoan Kiem Lake, where the red Huc Bridge leads to the Temple of the Jade Mountain. Wander at dawn to see tai chi by the water, or after dark when the pavements fill with food stalls and low plastic stools.

Top-ranked sights in Hanoi: Ha Long Bay, Hanoi Old Quarter, Long Bien Bridge (Cau Long Bien).
