Ninh Binh, is one of Vietnam's most striking destinations. Breathtaking boat rides and lush countryside are just half of the appeal: the area is also rich in cultural treasures and is listed as a UNESCO Heritage Site.
My tour will take you to "secret" places for spectacular view and peaceful countryside area of Ninh Binh.
This itinerary can be customized to meet your needs and preferences. Send me a message with your requests!
At your hotel
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 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.
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.
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.
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.

"Xin Chao" my dear customers from all over the world,
I am Rose Nguyen , who was born and raised in Hanoi. I have been working as a guide and travel consultant for customized unique tours in all parts of Vietnam. It is my great honor always to be your local expertise wherever you go in my country. I graduated from the University of Languages and International studies. My second and third degree are tourism & Vietnamese cooking. I found those as the great connection to bring the best services to my beloved customers.
I have been the international licensed tourist guide for more than 12 years until now. I am lucky to escort my clients through different regions. From that, I have chances of better understanding and respecting each culture and value. My priority of working is your satisfaction.
Beside all classic tours in Vietnam, I also have great ides for authentic tours as below:
1) Hidden Hanoi photograph tours
2) Hanoi backstreet motorbike tours: visit the beautiful parts of city and learn about local lives through hidden streets and alleys that only motorbikes can go through.
3) Non-touristy rural market visit and hands-on cooking experience at local home
4) Unspoilt Ninh Binh day trip from Hanoi
More customized options I can offer for your kind consideration.
To describe briefly my self: I am passionate, energetic and sincere always.
Warmest regards,

“Go with Nhung aka Rose, you won't regret!”
We had booked a privately arranged trip with Nhung aka Rose and we had an awesome time! We were travelling with our 83yr old Mother who had some mobility issues and she planned our tour accordingly. Rose had a great understanding and knowledge of her culture and history plus her communication in English was excellent. Rose took care of us very well, especially my Mother, and her food choices were remarkable. Only regret is we didn't stay longer in Hanoi to continue touring with Rose.
