Embark on an intimate small-group tour from Hanoi to delve into the diverse beauty and cultural richness of Vietnam's countryside. Hoa Lu, once Vietnam's ancient capital in the 10th and 11th centuries, provides a fascinating glimpse into the nation's history and heritage. Climbing the 500 steps to Mua Cave rewards you with sweeping panoramic views of Tam Coc, showcasing its lush rice fields and meandering river. Often likened to "Ha Long Bay on land," Tam Coc offers a tranquil boat journey through limestone karsts and verdant rice paddies, passing through three natural caves, each with its own serene atmosphere. Exploring by bicycle allows you to leisurely discover Ninh Binh's rural landscapes, immersing yourself in the local way of life and enjoying the fresh countryside air.
