Things to do in Hoa Lu Ancient Capital

Very informative tour with lots of amazing sites to see! They were all beautiful sites with so much history and our tour guide, Linh, did a great job of explaining things and making the tour fun! The lunch was okay, but filling since it was a buffet. Overall great value for what you pay and would definitely recommend to all!

Highly recommended!!! We visited a beautiful and fun place accompanied by a friendly and nice tour guide, named Ruby. The bus we rode was comfortable with a professional driver and the food provided was delicious. Thanks also to Elbiee who helped in arranging this trip.

Our tour guide Linh was amazing and funny. He introduced the Vietnam history and culture. And take care of every single person in the group. Kudos to Linh.

You need some physical strength. You will travel quite a bit by cycling, but the bicycles are lighter than those in Japan. The scenery in Trang An is magnificent and beautiful. A local man works as a boatman, and there is only work twice a day because there are enough people. It seems that the wages are low and they rely on tips. I thought it would be nice if everyone could give a little more to preserve the environment. The guide asked us to give 30,000 dong, so we gave each person 50,000 dong. The last place was Mua Cave, but the entrance was flooded and dangerous, so it is now closed. Instead, we climbed a mountain with 400 steps, but the latter half was essentially a cliff. I'm scared of heights, so I gave up about 70% of the way up, but the footing was quite bad, so I recommend wearing shoes with good grip. It's slippery. On the way back, we ate bun cha and disbanded. Personally, bun cha was the most delicious food in Vietnam. Overall, it's a recommended tour. If you're satisfied, give the guide a tip when you leave. You can ask for advice during your trip.

Hi! The overall experience on the tour was fantastic. Although there were a few minor inconveniences, our tour guide, Linh, went out of his way to accommodate everyone in the group. I really enjoyed how he shared fun facts while discussing the history of each place. He had so much energy, running around with the group and still managing to answer all our questions. I'd be thrilled to have him as my tour guide on my next visit. The bus ride is comfortable as we travel to different places, and we feel secure with the driver's skill in getting us to our destination.

Our Ninh Binh day is very memorable. The tour guide is fun and very accommodating. Although still needs to practice a little more clear english. We were with lots of nationalities in the tour. The tour guide would also message the night before and will inform on the day when they are near your place so you could be ready. Bus: The bus was comfortable and very luxurious. I appreciate that you can charge gadgets since you'll be in the tour the whole day. During the long drive, they will stop by on bathroom breaks. The pick up was also early in the morning so they stopped by a store when we can buy breakfast along the way Bai dinh: The whole Bai Dinh complex is big, i suggest to wear a very comfortable shoes and clothing. Even if it was winter time, it still got very hot and sunny. Lunch: Lunch buffet was okay. Nothing special. Food was just okay. I hope they could include a better lunch place. Trang An - Ninh Binh: Tour would take you to Route 2. The place is good and the whole boat ride was relaxing Mua Cave: The tour guide recommended the better side which we should take on the Mua Cave which is good. The climb was tiring but the overall scenery is majestic. It is also good because the tour guide David asked our group if someone cant come 500steps up, he can recommend an alternative itinerary.

Good trip to wonderful place day trio and worth the money. Must visit place with Tom Coc. This a good trip with hotel pick up

The temple is a bit boring, but making the boat is quite interesting. It takes a long time. There is a rest point in the middle, and then we return to the original place where we boarded the boat with the original boat number. Mua cave requires climbing, which can be tiring, but the scenery is really beautiful.
