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.

Beside all classic tours in Vietnam, I also have great ides for authentic tours as below:

“Amazing tours and service!!!”

Our family of 4 stayed in Ha Noi for 4 nights and had Rose (Nhung) organize our stay. I also asked her to arrange transport to and from the airport to our hotel in the Old Quarter. We did a one day tour of Ha Noi, one day in Ninh Binh, and one day in Ha Long Bay with a private cruise. We had a very comfortable, large van with a driver and Rose accompanying us the entire time. We saw so many beautiful Temples, Pagodas, ate in wonderful restaurants for lunch, had ringside seats on Train street, toured the market, had Egg Coffee, Salt Coffee, Coconut Coffee, sampan tours at Ninh Binh and Ha Long Bay . So many things and done well. Having Rose and her team meant being dropped off right where we needed to go, getting whisked into places, restaurants, attractions and then met by our driver when we were done. It was absolutely amazing. It cut down on wasted time, effort, walking and eliminated stress. Rose communicated with us at booking and took care of our entire wish list. She is very accommodating, responsive, knowledgeable, insightful and just a wonderful guide to have. If you want to make the most of your time in Ha Noi and the surrounding area, I highly recommend that you contact her and set up your dream tour. Thank you Rose, you helped us create so many lasting memories!

“Engaging tours of spectacular countryside & Hanoi old town ”

Rose took me on 3 days of spectacular private tours of Hanoi and its surrounding countryside areas (while my husband was working in Hanoi). The experiences were tailored for me, and were adventurous and fun. Rose shared information in a way that was engaging and memorable, such that I was able to share lots of interesting new knowledge with my husband each evening. She hired a luxurious vehicle and driver to transport us each day with individual reclining rear seats. Thank you Rose for a memorable 3 days!

Nhung N.

Dear Ms. Liv, I could not know how to fully express my gratitude for your kind choice on my services and for enjoying the tour with me. I am blessed for the 3 days I was able to show you the hidden gems of Hanoi and its culture, history together best local food. We also visited such peaceful Ninh Binh from hiking, boating to boating. We also visited amazing and quite religious site Perfume Pagoda. Thank you so much again for being kind and for our wonderful time. It is my honor Rose and team (driver...) to work for your fabulous trip. With my best regards, Rose
