Your guide and driver will collect you from the Hanoi Old Quarter area. If you're staying outside the Old Quarter, please make your way to the Hanoi Opera House for collection.
Next, you'll visit Bai Dinh Pagoda, one of Vietnam’s largest Buddhist complexes. You'll have the chance to admire its striking architecture, giant bronze Buddha statues, grand temple halls, and tranquil spiritual atmosphere. This is a great opportunity to learn more about Vietnamese Buddhism and the history of this remarkable site.
Following this, you'll savour a delightful Vietnamese buffet lunch featuring local delicacies. After lunch, you'll embark on a relaxing sampan boat ride through the spectacular Trang An/Tam Coc Landscape Complex, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
You'll cruise along serene rivers, passing through limestone mountains, verdant valleys, and intriguing caves. Later in the afternoon, you'll visit Mua Cave. Here, you can challenge yourself with around 500 stone steps to the top of Ngoa Long Mountain. Your reward? A jaw-dropping panoramic view of Tam Coc’s rice fields, limestone mountains, and the Ngo Dong River.
Finally, you'll leave Ninh Binh and unwind on the journey back to Hanoi. Upon arrival in Hanoi, this marks the end of your tour.
