My tour will take you to "secret" places for spectacular view and peaceful countryside area of Ninh Binh.

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
We arrive to Hanoi. Sometimes due to traffic, we might expect to come back Hanoi about 19:30.

Ninh Binh Tour Reviews
“Bike / food tour review ”
When I first arrived in Hanoi, my preferred mode of transportation would be walk or use a Grab car to go from point A to B. When I started the tour, it was a bit rocky for me to keep my balance, as I wasn't very familiar with motorbikes. However, I had nothing to worry about, as Nhung was a safe driver.If anything, the motorbike tours have not only improved my confidence but also enhanced my overall mindset and experience in Vietnam. Now, I can't get enough of using a Grab bike instead of a car. During the food tour with Nhung, I found one of the best banh mi in Hanoi, which I hadn't found anywhere else during my travels in Vietnam.
“Best Tour Guide in Vietnam!”
Nhung gave us the absolute best tour of Hanoi. We ate wonderful Vietnamese food & went to many historical sites and went to train street! She was flexible with our many requests and just provided an overall excellent experience. Would recommend her 1000 times.

Wonderful Hanoi backstreet motorbike tour + food tour

“Great tour”
During Nhung tours my main highlight was when I unexpectedly forgot my hat at the Den Hang Bo, and was invited by the people running the temple to have tea and cake. It goes to show the nice hospitality of the people, when the unexpected occurs. Next time I come back, I will visit Ha Long Bay and Ninh Binh with Nhung.

(11 reviews)Dear Colin, Thank you so much for your kind feedback on my services. It is my great honor to be your tour guide for Hidden Hanoi walking tour and it was such a fabulous chance that we had a talk with local ladies in a local temple for the birthday of local God. I am so excited to welcome you back for another fabulous trip to Ninh Binh and HaLong Bay. With my best regards from Hanoi, Nhung Rose
