What To Expect
Old Quarter
6:30 - 6:45 AM, you get picked up from your hotel or meeting point. Waking up early for this tour will ensure that you have the best day ever for three reasons. ● We can avoid the heavy traffic in Hanoi. Navigating through the busy city center can be time-consuming during rush hour. However, if we depart at 6:30 AM - 6:45 AM, we can bypass this congestion and reach Ninh Binh in just 20 minutes, saving us precious time. ● Being early birds allows us to beat the crowds at the tourist sites. We can enjoy the attractions without encountering many people or waiting in long queues. This way, we can maximize our time and fully immerse ourselves in the experience. ● Starting our morning hike up to Mua cave early helps us beat the heat of the day. We can enjoy the stunning panoramic view of the area while feeling refreshed and energized. "Early to bed, early to rise," let us assist you in having a fantastic day by waking up early and experiencing the best that this tour has to offer.
Mua Caves
After a 2-hour car journey from Hanoi, it's time for us to engage in some physical activity by ascending the magnificent natural Great Wall of Mua mountain, as well as exploring the Mua cave. This location offers the most optimal spot to admire the breathtaking panoramic view of the surrounding area. Additionally, embarking on an early hike would allow us to avoid the oppressive heat and the large crowds that gather later in the day. As the day progresses, the heat intensifies and the site becomes heavily thronged by hundreds of thousands of tourists, all due to its viral fame. If you don’t like the touristy hike, alternatively, we have a 300-step, rugged hidden gem hike at the holy and secret mountain where you could feel the serenity of nature and breathtaking panoramic views of the mountains, forest, and surrounding villages.

5.00Our guide, Louis, was very informative; he offered a wealth of historical information run egarding the ancient capital. On the climb up Lying Dragon Mountain, he was solicitous. My husband experienced some difficulties on the climb and Louis took care of him, ensuring he had a rest and became rehydrated. We had a really good time with our small group of travelers. Louis prioritized our comfort the entire trip.
Action packed and super well organised…Loved this tour

5.00Amazing day full of activity. We had so much fun. Well organised and the communication from both Viator and Louis from the tour company was exceptional. We loved every minute of this trip. My highlight was the 500 steps closely followed by our Vespa ride. I think the people driving the vespas from the tour company were having as much fun as we were. Louis was also very informative and funny. Thankyou Louis 10/10

5.00This is a day of adventure and wonder! We did so many things and experienced so much! We saw temples and pagodas, learned about the history of Vietnam, hiked to the top of Lying Dragon Mountain, took a boat tour rowed by a local man with his feet through the caves and amidst the cliffs, had a spectacular lunch, then toured the local rice paddies and back streets and cemeteries in an old army jeep! Lewis answered questions all day, shared his life and his country and was an excellent guide with excellent English- I 100% recommend!
