Overview

Begin your full-day tour to Ninh Binh with either a handy Ninh Binh pickup or just meet at the designated spot. Admire the views from your bus as you’re driven out of the city and into the countryside. In Ninh Binh, start at the Hoa Lu Temples, where you can appreciate the Vietnamese architecture and learn more about the former ruling dynasties. Refuel with a tasty lunch at a local restaurant before heading to Tam Coc. Take a scenic boat ride and get the chance to cycle through rural villages if you’re feeling energetic—cycling is optional. Your final stop is the Mua Caves. Climb the hundreds of zig-zagging steps up to the chain of cave temples and take in panoramic views. You might feel tired after, but you can rest in the bus on the way back to Hanoi, where you’ll be dropped back at your hotel.
