07:00 – 07:45 We pick up at your hotel or meeting point in Old Quarter (hotel pick up is not available at central restricted area for buses with more than 16 seats, and hotel outside Old Quater area). Leave Hanoi behind and journey through the peaceful countryside to Ninh Binh, passing lush rice fields and picturesque rural landscapes along the way.

Your adventure begins at Hoa Lu Ancient Capital, the political and cultural center of Vietnam during the 10th century. Explore the historic temples dedicated to the Dinh and Le dynasties before enjoying a leisurely bicycle ride through charming villages, where you'll experience the tranquil rhythm of rural life and admire the surrounding countryside.

Pause for a delicious buffet lunch at a local restaurant, featuring a wide selection of Vietnamese specialties, including regional favorites and vegetarian options.

In the afternoon, board a traditional bamboo sampan for a relaxing cruise through the breathtaking scenery of Tam Coc. Glide along the Ngo Dong River beneath towering limestone cliffs, through natural caves, and past vibrant rice paddies that have earned this enchanting landscape the nickname “Halong Bay on Land.“

Continue your journey to Mua Cave, where a rewarding climb to the summit of Lying Dragon Mountain offers one of the most spectacular panoramic views in Northern Vietnam. From the top, take in sweeping vistas of Tam Coc's winding river, dramatic karst formations, and lush rice fields stretching as far as the eye can see.

After an unforgettable day exploring one of Vietnam's most scenic destinations, relax on the drive back to Hanoi.
