Meeting Point
At your hotel (Hanoi)
- I and driver will pick you up at your hotel. We drive on highway about 2 hours to the South of Hanoi.
Tuyet Tinh Coc, a Fairyland in Ninh Binh
Tuyet Tinh Coc is a complex of lakes, mountains and temples. This area is a small valley with a large lake in the low-lying area. The lake is enclosed by imposing mountain ranges, making Tuyet Tinh Coc an ink-wash painting. The stunning beauty from a fairy tale attracts many tourists to explore this site. The area is called “Tuyet Tinh Coc” since it is the place where people can forget all the exhaustion and hustle of the outside world and find themselves in nature.
Fabulous lunch in best local restaurant
After that, we visit the best local restaurant to taste the real local specialties by excellent chef.
Food will be customized upon your food restrictions.
Dancing cave for the spectacular view of countryside
In the afternoon, we will enjoy the spectacular view on the top of "dancing cave". To conquer the cave, you will start with hard trekking through 500 steps. So brace yourself! Once getting on top, the magnificent panoramic views will let you know that it is worth all of your effort reaching here.
A relaxing time on Tam Coc sampan boat
Then, we will have a peaceful time on our private sampan boat to visit 3 caves & limestone mountains in Tam Coc.
Often referred to as “Halong Bay on Land” due to the lush green rice paddies and towering limestone cliffs, Tam Coc is the perfect places to relax and unwind while soaking up the landscape and the culture of Vietnam.
Drive back to Hanoi
Back in Hanoi
We arrive to Hanoi around 19:00. But sometimes due to traffic, we might expect to arrive in Hanoi about 19:30.

More customized options I can offer for your kind consideration.

“An amazing day in Ninh Binh thank to Rose”
Rose was a phenomenal guide for our group of 4 as we explored Ninh Binh! She was great to work with as we customized the plan for the day so we could see all the sights we wanted to, and brought an incredibly positive energy throughout the day that made the tour feel truly personal. She really made an effort to speak with us each individually, get to know us, and call out facts that she thought we might personally find interesting. Her knowledge of the area was phenomenal and she gave wonderful context about the region, local life, and Vietnamese culture. Truly, you could not pick a better person to help you experience such a beautiful place.

Hello Miles and friends, Thank you so much for your kind words. It truly means a lot to me. I’m so happy I had the chance to spend the day with you and share a little of my home, my culture, and the beauty of Ninh Binh with you. What made the day special for me was not only showing you around, but also getting to know each of you along the way. I’m truly grateful for the time we shared, and I hope you’ll take home wonderful memories of Ninh Binh and Vietnam. Wishing you all the best, and I hope our paths cross again someday! With warmest wishes, Rose Nhung

“wonderful day”
We had a fantastic day exploring Hanoi with our tour guide! Everything was exceptionally well organized, and she was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. She shared lots of interesting information and gave us a wonderful insight into the city and its culture. What we appreciated most was her flexibility and personal approach. She listened carefully to our wishes and adapted the itinerary whenever we wanted to make a change. We never felt that we had to follow a standard tourist program — the entire day was tailored to our interests, which made the experience truly special. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Hanoi. We would absolutely love to come back and explore more with her again! Thank you for such a wonderful day!

Dear Peter, I can’t thank you enough for your wonderful review and kind words. It truly means so much to me! It was such a pleasure spending the day with you and sharing the charm, culture, and everyday life of Hanoi. I’m especially happy that we had the chance to explore Hanoi beyond its busy streets, wandering through little alleys, discovering hidden corners, enjoying some of Hanoi’s unique coffees, and sharing delicious local dishes along the way. These simple moments, the stories we shared, and the little discoveries we made together are what make days like this so meaningful to me as a guide. I’m truly grateful that you enjoyed our time together, and I would love to welcome you back to Vietnam someday to discover more beautiful places and create more wonderful memories together. Until then, I wish you all the best, many happy adventures, and beautiful memories wherever your travels take you! With my best regards, Rose Nhung
