Escape Hanoi on a small-group Ninh Binh adventure!
If you only have one day to explore Ninh Binh, this tour is the perfect choice! Designed for those who want to maximize their time, it conveniently includes pick-up and drop-off from Hanoi's Old Quarter, whisking you away to Ninh Binh's top attractions: Hoa Lu, Tam Coc or Trang An, Mua Cave, and more. But don’t worry—this isn’t your average big-group tour. With only 5-7 people, you’ll enjoy a more intimate, less crowded experience, making it easier to connect with your guide, fellow travelers, and the essence of Ninh Binh.Starting at 6:45 AM, you’ll avoid Hanoi’s traffic, skip the crowds, and enjoy a cooler hike to Mua Cave for breathtaking views. Along the way, enjoy a 1.5-hour scenic open Army Jeep or Vespa ride, cruising through the breathtaking mountain landscapes, serene rivers, and towering limestone karsts that define this UNESCO-listed region. With multiple modes of transport—minivan, traditional boat, jeep, and a glimpse into daily local life—this tour packs a diverse and unforgettable adventure into a single day!What to ExpectSmall group experience for a personal touch, often with 5-7 people.Early 6:45 AM start from Hanoi to beat the traffic and the heat (Trust us, it's worth it!).A scenic 2-hour drive to Ninh Binh, about 100 kilometers from Hanoi.Immerse yourself in Vietnamese history and culture at the ancient capital of Hoa Lu.Choose your own adventure: Hike up Mua Cave for iconic views or take the road less traveled to a secret, serene summit.Embark on a magical 2-hour boat trip through the stunning Trang An or Tam Coc, a UNESCO World Heritage site.Hop on a vintage army jeep or Vespa for a thrilling ride through the countryside, passing rice paddies, farms, and local villages.Step back in time at the thousand-year-old Bich Dong Pagoda, nestled into the limestone cliffs.Savor an authentic Vietnamese lunch at a local restaurant.Return to Hanoi around 6:30 PM with plenty of time to spare for your evening plans.TipsPlease note that breakfast is not included in this tour.

Hello, I’m doing research for a trip to Ninh Binh and am planning to stay there overnight. Can your tour leave me at Ninh Binh at the end of the day? And would it be possible to join your return trip Ninh Binh-Hanoi the following day? I am planning on going there for Sat 23rd Nov. Thanks
