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

This 12 to 13-hour group tour takes you from Hanoi to Hoa Lu, Tam Coc, and Mua Cave by air-conditioned minibus, bamboo boat, and bicycle. English-speaking guides such as Sunny, Linh, and Viet lead the day. Expect excellent scenery, a buffet lunch, optional cycling, and nearly 500 steps for the best view.

“This was probably one of the main highlights of our Hanoi trip. It was so nice to turn off our brain and let Sunny guide us through Ninh Binh. Sunny was an awesome tour guide and hilarious. He kept us entertained and we learned so much about the history of Hanoi through his hilarious pop culture references. Literally had another tour guide after this trip and I said “I miss Sunny!””

He also provided amble opportunity for refreshments and toilet breaks , at the end we felt like we got a real insiders guide to Paris. My girlfriend was nervous about navigating such…”
