About This Activity

After being picked up from your hotel in Hanoi at 08:00 in the morning, you will take a two-hour drive to Ninh Binh city. As the first route, the tour guide will take you to Bai Dinh Pagoda, where hundreds of Buddhist statues are located, including the largest bronze Buddha statue, which is 10 meters high. Here you will see the incredibly beautiful statues and you can take photos. After the first tour, you will have a break and free time for lunch at a local restaurant serving traditional Ninh Binh goat meat dishes. Since it is a walking route, you will be tired and this traditional meal will make you feel good.

Our next stop is Trang An, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. When we arrive there, we will take a boat tour along the Trang An River to enjoy the cave complex. The scenery of Trang An is a unique combination of deep turquoise river water among mountains, water caves and clear blue sky. The boat tour will last for two to three hours. These rowboats, which are captained by local people, go round the river.

Once the cruise is over, our shuttle and driver will be waiting for you to return, and you will be driven back to Hanoi City to be dropped off at your hotel around 18:00.

We had an enjoyable tour. Both the driver and our guide, Brian, were punctual. The drive was long but comfortable, with a bathroom break along the way. Although young, Brian was very knowledgeable and informative. The included lunch was delicious and generous. At the end of the tour, Brian even shared some restaurant recommendations.

Phong was an outstanding guide for our day trip. He had extensive knowledge of the area’s history and was able to answer all of our questions about the sites we visited. He was even kind enough to take photos of us at various locations. The drive from Hanoi took two hours, and lunch at a local restaurant was excellent. The journey was comfortable, the trip was very well organized, and the natural scenery was breathtaking.
