Ninh Binh Full-Day Tour from Hanoi to Hoa Lu, Tam Coc & Mua Cave Via Boat & Bike

1.Ninh Binh Full-Day Tour from Hanoi to Hoa Lu, Tam Coc & Mua Cave Via Boat & Bike

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4,384 reviews · from $33Our pick

Escape Hanoi for a 12 to 13-hour small-group trip to Ninh Binh. An English-speaking guide leads you through Hoa Lu, a short village bike ride, a 1.5-hour Tam Coc boat journey, and the steep climb at Mua Cave. Pickup, transport, bikes, lunch, and water are included. Sunny is one guide frequently praised for his humor and storytelling.

“We got really excited about this but it’s a long day and pretty touristy. We didn’t have a great guide unfortunately, I think that would have made a difference if we did (he didn’t really have a great grasp of English and wasn’t very informative). The highlights were the boat ride and the hike. If I was to do this again I’d pay a bit more and arrange a private transport.”

But for me it actually made the experience even more unique and fun. We also did the biking tour in rain. The buffet lunch had a lot if options and was very tasty. Only minus is that the tour guide didn't speak that good of an English. So pretty much the whole group had problem understanding what he was saying. Great value for the money!”
