    Full description

    Travel by air-conditioned bus from Hanoi to Tam Coc and ride a Sampan boat to impressive caves. Experience local life as you cycle through picturesque villages, explore ancient temples, and enjoy a Vietnamese lunch.

    Start your tour early with pickup at your hotel in Ha Noi Old Quarter. Hop into the luxury van to visit Hoa Lu, an ancient capital of Vietnam.

    Visit Dinh king Temple and Le king Temple from the 10th century, and hear about the heroic histories of the two Kings during the Chinese Wars. At midday, sit down for lunch with Vietnamese cuisine at a local restaurant.

    Continue to Tam Coc and take the sampan go (traditional river boat) along the Ngo Dong river to visit Tam Coc's three caves. Head back to Tam Coc wharf, take your bicycle, and cycle around traditional villages and Tam Coc town. Visit Mua cave, which attracts visitors with its many interesting stories.

    Enjoyed the biking and the steep hike (view was worth it)! The boat ride, not so much - around 1.30hrs sitting under the sun. It was pretty hot so make sure you bring a hat and sunblock. Overall, it was good. Our tour guide Zuy (Frank) was knowledgable and fun. He adjusted the itinerary that fit to our liking :)

    The trip is very packed with activities and of course time is a bit tight here and there. Nevertheless, the trip is definitely worth it! The buffet was very good, something for every taste. It was also nice that we always arrived at the sights/buffet a little before the flow of visitors.

    Good change of scenery to see the mountains a bit and visit the temples of Nihm Binh. Guide was helpful when explaining at the temples some of the local culture and architecture. Although the views on the boat ride are amazing the ride itself is rather dull. Still loved the free hat I received from this trip.
