A great day - This luxury trip was one of my favorite experiences in Vietnam. The limousine ride was relaxing and our small group was well taken care of. In Hoa Lu we saw the historic pagodas and then had a delicious lunch. The boat trip in Tam Coc through three caves was peaceful. Mua Cave was a highlight - climb up for some great photos overlooking the river and fields.

Amazing day trip from Hanoi - Our guide picked us up at the Old Quarter in a modern limousine. We started with Hoa Lu, learning about ancient dynasties at King Dinh and King Le temples. Later, a local lunch was served before boarding a sampan at Tam Coc. Floating through the caves was breathtaking. Finally, Hang Mua’s climb was challenging but the view of rice fields and Ninh Binh was priceless.

Enjoy the buffet for lunch, the choices are diverse and delicious.

Take this tour! Our fave in Vietnam. - Highly recommend this trip, and will be recommending it to any of my friends visiting Vietnam. The activities were organised and well planned, and the perfect amount of time. Felt like I saw so much in one day! My mum and I don’t normally like “touristy” tours but this one was brilliant, especially due to our brilliant tour guide Quang. He gave us top tips for all our activities, was friendly and fun, and kept the tour very organised without feeling rushed. He even gave us recommendations for restaurants in Hanoi at the end of the tour, and was very well educated in all the attractions we visited. Take this tour! Well worth the money and the bus was very comfortable and picked us up / dropped us off at our hotel.
