“The daytrip to Ninh Bin was fabulous, and our guide Quy was awesome, so friendly and kind and genuinely cared about our group, ensuring that everyone was comfortable and having a great time. He even stayed behind with us when we were hiking slow!! He also shared interesting info on the history of Vietnam, its language and traditions. The tour itself offered a variety of sightseeing and activities, from biking to hiking to the top of Mua mountain with its stunning views, to boating through caves at Trang An to get to the spectacular pagoda on the water. There was beauty everywhere. Not to be missed!!”

14.From Hanoi: Tam Coc Boat Trip and Hoa Lu & Mua Cave Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 733 reviews · 1 day · from $43

One day from Hanoi to Hoa Lu, Tam Coc caves, and Hang Mua. Boat trip, temples, and 500 steps for big views.

“We were met by the guide and bus at our hotel promptly at 7:00. Picking up about 20 others at hotels around the old city and exciting Hanoi at rush hour took two hours. So it was 10:30 when we reached the mid-point rest stop. We arrived at our first attraction,the small mountain in Ninh Binh, at 11:30. The climb of about 500 steps is a bit strenuous but well worth the effort. The views are magnificent. The lunch buffet was adequate. The visit to a thousand year old Buddhist temple was interesting. But we’d seen more impressive temples here. And got no useful history about this one. The boatride…”
