Pick - up in Hanoi. Moving to Ninh Binh by air-conditioned bus, where we will spend the day exploring the highlights of the region. Have a short break for 20 minutes
Embark on a heart-pounding hike up the steep steps and winding paths that lead to the top of the Mua Cave viewpoint. Ascend through a lush, verdant landscape, with the path occasionally passing through small caves and grottoes. Pause along the way to catch your breath and take in the breathtaking views of the surrounding karst mountains, rivers, and rice paddies that gradually come into view. Once at the summit, be rewarded with a panoramic vista that will leave you in awe. Gaze out over the undulating peaks of the Ninh Binh landscape, the winding Ngo Dong River, and the patchwork of verdant rice fields below. Snap iconic photographs framing the famous "Dragon Mountain" and the serene natural wonder that stretches out in every direction. Explore the small temple and pavilion at the top of the viewpoint, which offer a peaceful respite and a chance to fully appreciate the stunning scenery.
Explore the well-preserved remains of the 10th and 11th century capital, including ancient temple complexes and royal structures. Marvel at the impressive stone architecture and intricate carvings that showcase the artistic prowess of the Dinh and Early Le dynasties. Wander through the serene courtyards and gardens, imagining the grandeur of the imperial palace that once stood here. Learn about the historical significance of Hoa Lu, which served as the political and cultural heart of Vietnam for over a century. Visit the Temple of King Dinh and the Temple of King Le, two of the most important religious sites within the ancient capital. Gain insights into the rich history and legacy of the Dinh and Early Le dynasties that ruled during Hoa Lu's golden age. Appreciate the harmony between the site's cultural heritage and the dramatic natural landscape that surrounds it.
After lunch you will get on bamboo boat – rowed by the local people – in Hoang Long river to visit Tam Coc (three caves) on the way. You pass through three enormous caves that provide a brief respite from the intense summer sun. It takes approximately two hours to go up and down the river and along the way, you witness local fisherfolk, village life along the river and, of course, the striking limestone karst formations that Tam Coc is famous for
Get on bus and go back to Ha Noi. We arrival in Hanoi and finish the tour at around 19h00 to 19h30 pm
Ken and Lisa are excellent tour guides. They explained the places we visited. They communicate very well. Thank you and we are glad to see them again in our next trip. Ken was 2nd time as our tour guide.
It was a nice experience the guide Ken made sure we are all comfortable. The vehicle we used was comfortable despite the summer heat. Food serve was also good experience and the guide was very patient with us and our many questions and requests. Good English speaker
I’m having an amazing experience here in Vietnam! 🇻🇳❤️ Thank you
Great tour guide and places in Vietnam
The trip was excellent, Ed the guide was kind and fun, even though the weather wasn't great but the rain made it fun during the hike
My partner and I were really lucky we found this tour! The day trip to Ning Binh was very scenic and beautiful. We were welcomed very warmly, greeted with souvenirs, and we had no trouble whatsoever with communication, payment, and logistics. We also enjoyed the tour because the guide, Michael, not only gave us tips for the maximum experience and ensured our safety, he also shared and highlighted the history, culture, and tradition of the places we visited which we thoroughly enjoyed. The size of the tour is perfect as well since it was roughly around 12-15 people only. And for us who are part of the rainbow people, my partner and I did not experience any discrimination both from the tour and our group. We also appreciate Ms Lucy & Ms Mia for their very timely response to our queries & concerns. We didn't have to worry about anything at all from food, transport, down to entrance tickets. The buffet was also a feast! If you’re vegan, you need not worry. The spread was diverse and generous All in all, this company is highly appreciated and would definitely tour with them again!
Fun day exploring multiple sites! We actually did Bai Dinh pagoda and Trang An (not Tam Coc) but not sure where to review for that. Our guide, Son, was very friendly and entertaining and also very attentive and took care of us and the whole group well. He shared a lot of information while also keeping our group on track. Seeing Trang An was beautiful (even in warm weather), and climbing Mua Cave at sunset was lovely!
The tour was very well organized, and we had plenty of time to visit all the attractions without feeling rushed. Harry and Duc were excellent guides: knowledgeable, professional, and always happy to answer questions. Their passion and genuine enthusiasm made the experience even more enjoyable and helped us fully appreciate the beauty of these amazing places.
Ninh Binh is magical more so than Halong Bay and the 2-2.30 hours in Tam Coc give a great experience and view of the natural wonder. Bring sunscreen lots of water though. Definitely takes a lot out of you. Enjoyed the activity filled day with our guides Harry and Duc.
Harry and Duc were extremely helpful and fun guides for our trip to Ninh Binh. They took the time out to explain all the history and significance behind each site we visited. Highly recommend!
Very nice experience, enjoyyyyedddd so muchhh
Very good and very good tour guides
Harry is a great guy! You will really learn a lot ! I highly recommend him for everyone. You will enjoy his company and he is very accommodating and hospitable.
Highly recommended, especially the Lotus pond views and the boat rides through the cave tunnels.
Trip will be boring , better take bike bcs u spend so much time in unattractive places . Anyway I choose this trip and they give me all . Harry was so good guide, tell us all history of Vietnam and always take care of us 👌 of u want lazy trip take this .
Very good, A good program for the whole day.
We had a wonderful and memorable trip. Everything was well organized, and we had a lot of fun throughout the journey. Special thanks to our tour guide, Hieu, who was friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful. Highly recommended!
The weather was too hot, you should recommend people to not go during off season and when we were at the main point (aka the place where they were 500 steps) there wasn't any air conditioned cafés and we had great difficulty finding one we like but after all the trip was really exciting and fun! I really liked the boat ride and our guide Harry was really kind and polite and I really loved the lotus garden!
Good tour. Covered a big area in one day. Knowledgeable guide. Comfortable air condition bus with excellent driver. Overall a great experience.
the view was amazing, we had a lunch and the food was perfect, they served traditional Vietnamese food and we was enjoy it so much !! 100% recommend
Booked the one day Ninh Binh daytrip. From the beginning to the end of the trip we were welcomed warmly. Everything was so organized and communicated well from the itinerary, schedules and even door to door transport to our hotels. We had an amazing time. Thank you so much! Shoutout to Lucy, Mia and our tour guide Michael, you guys rock!
We had an amazing experience at the day tour we booked for Ninh Binh. Mr.Long our tour guide was very friendly, patient and very clear in his descriptions of the place and what to expect during the tour.
It was well organized and the tour guides were excellent!
Vu Long was our tour guide, he is very responsible and direct with details. I like how he is strict with the time management(we had to leave 2 tourist behind for being late) this shows how he respects and are committed our time and itinerary. Overall this tour for us was a success and would definitely recommend him and his tour company. Do not skip Ninh Binh it’s a must see, a different tale compared to Hanoi.
The temples, biking and boat ride gave a good feel of how Vietnamese culture and everyday life. A very soothing experience. Price was fair as it included pickup/drop off, tickets for activities, lunch and our guide who provided lots of information. An all day activity that everyone would be able to do!
Great Experience. The Guide always informed us about the activities and the time schedule and also made sure we were having a good time. Would definitly reccomend the tour.
Was a nice experience. First we visited a temple which was not really my vibe. Place was also a bit crowded. But then we went to eat into a small village where we could also bike a little which i loved. After that we took a boat tour which was my absolute favorite. I enjoyed that so much, very peaceful and beautiful. The end of the trip was the 500 steps which were sweaty but so worth it. Overall i really liked the trip.
Had a great time at Ninh Bing. Some of the places were spectacular and well worth it the visit. The tour was good and bus came on time. We had Vu Long as our tour guide, he was helpful and pleasant to deal with. Definitely recommended.
Long, the tour guide was very helpful and enthusiastic. He is a superstar.
. It was a perfect combination.Mr Vu Long.Will give you precise instruction-so must listen and follow very carefully.He wont follow you around so have time to explore on your own.But please tell boat guide in Trang An what time you have to be back.Overall it was a great experience.
Mr. Long made our Ninh Binh tour truly unforgettable! 🌟 He was knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. His insights and local tips added so much value to the trip. Highly recommend him as a guide!
Lovely! Very full on day, got to do so much in one day!
Great support and guide from Tony, Wati Company
Excellent tour and very cooperative guide
We had a great time at Ninh Bhin…. Special thanks to our guide Mr Vu Long for coordinating our trip well 😊
It’s very great and I was very happy
Perfect day excursion from Hanoi. A mix of culture ( Hoa Lu), Nature ( Tam Coc) and adventure ( Mua Cave). Our guide Long was very informative and explained all the activities in detail. Perfectly executed and enjoyable trip
We went on the Bai Dinh Pagoda - Trang An - Mua Cave tour for the day from Hà Nội, it was a pleasant travel in 9 people van, the nature was amazing, our tour guide Harry Hieu was helpful and made sure everyone is taken care of, would recommend this if you want to see Ninh Binh without having to plan too much ahead
We had fun during this day tour. The lunch buffet was ok, including vegetarian options. The bus glasses could have been cleaner.
It's really very Great person.. and Superb service.. and personally care for me n my family...
Vu Long was a great tour guide! Thanks for the amazing experience guys!

The day tour was super fun and filled with lots of activities. The price was fair for everything that is included such as lunch, water bottle, transportation, etc.. I really enjoyed my time, and Lily was a great guide for the group!
Tony/Tien from Wati company was an amazing guide!! He made sure that everyone is well taken care of and gave tips and tricks on how to safely travel! Definitely recommend this tour!
Tien/tony from wati company is the man! Awesome guide and told us a lot of info about ninh binh
Our experience with our guide Vu Long from Wati Company was excellent and made the whole experience wonderful. Overall the bus was clean and tidy and the locations were amazing. The lunch where we stopped unfortunately was sub standard and I would not recommend.

We visited such beautiful places during this trip, nature of Vietnam is stunning. Really recommend going. I only wish we could stay longer in each place but it’s impossible with such big group
