Hoa Lu – Tam Coc (boat tour & cycling) full day tour (Small group)

The Hoa Lu – Tam Coc full-day tour with limousine bus transfer from Hanoi is a popular tour to explore Ninh Binh. Within 1 day you will visit the ancient capital of Vietnam in the 10th century, and admire the beauty of the so-called “Halong Bay on land” by rowing a boat on the Ngo Dong river to visit Tam Coc (three caves). If you travel to Ninh Binh during the harvesting season, that would be the best photography opportunity.

Another interesting experience of the tour is cycling in the countryside village of Ninh Binh, where you could relax by biking and enjoy local life.

The tour starts at 7:30 AM from your hotels in Hanoi Old Quarter and back at 18:30, including a Vietnamese buffet lunch.
