Hoa Lu Ancient Capital tours

Mr. Tanh our tour guide was very helpful throughout the tour. He guided us all the time as we were a big group travelling. Got to know many new things and rich history of Vietnam culture. Much recommended.

it is great experience. our guide Jacy and Cozy Vietnam travels were simply great. She explained everything in detail and also taught us basic vietnamese phrases and counting. buffet lunch with vegetarian options. Highlight of the day was Trang An boat ride, 2 hour boat ride , going through caves. Bus was also good.

Great day, we really enjoyed ourselves. Good option for seeing a bit of variety in a short time (temple, then boat ride, then mountain hike). Would book again. I recommend selecting the option to include admission tickets with the tour price, otherwise you face the hastle of having to give cash in person to the tour guide to buy them for you~ slows everyone down a bit. Thanks for the great day!!

The Ninh Binh Trang An tour, showcasing the best natural scenery near Hanoi, is a healing experience where you ride a small boat through caves amidst towering limestone cliffs. It's usually recommended as a day trip, often combined with Hoa Lu and Hang Mua Peak. You'll spend 2-3 hours on a boat, rowed by a boatman, exploring caves and temples, surrounded by a fantastic landscape that truly earns its nickname, 'Ha Long Bay on Land.' There are three different Trang An boat tour routes, with the routes that pass through more caves (usually routes 2 or 3) being the most popular. It's a good idea to give a tip (around $2-$4) to your boatman as a token of appreciation. I participated in the tour on March 14, 2026, and the weather was cool and perfect. Guide Mr. Victor, you did a great job during the tour. Thank you!

This is an experience that way exceeded my expectations. The guide is knowledgeable & tried his best to share stories about each destination. I really love the boat ride. It’s 2 hours & we were brought through a few caves, it’s just so precious & beautiful! I’m also happy that I conquered the Mua Cave although it really isn’t too easy to climb. Buffet lunch is also included in this package. It’s really a great value & I highly recommended this.

brilliant tour! it more than exceeded our expectations! A must do while in Hanoi, early start but well worth it! our guide was fab and it all felt quite relaxed despite the schedule! it was my favourite day so far! the climb was quite the workout for those with short legs but worth it! the boat ride was the stand out but every bit was great! lunch was typical buffet, bit bland but enough choice to fill up for energy! our guide Day was fab, thank you!

everything good. lunch is cold and stale, no good. 😂 try afternoon tour, at least you catch sunset on boat. 9-11am at my son, so many people... had to run a little to group up again to keep to schedule. because of rice paper and boring lunch, little time at my son. because guide explaination is 60 min. 20 min walking. 20 min dance show. only 2 min left to close your eyes to feel the air and stones... because the other 18 min you have to run and rush to the other 2 sites beside the main one by speed walking. I think. if I could start over, id choose afternoon tour. because morning is so early and I did not have breakfast, so hungry. and rice paper making is a bit boring for my Chinese background plus lunch was 😕 so-so. I think it would be best to take your lunch and wake up late, relax, then do afternoon tour without the other 2 activities and no rushing plus sunset boat ride is way more beautiful... 🙃 than a 1pm ride 😅

Family of 5 travelled in a d-car. Very satisfied with the program and itinerary. The guide Dem was patient, accommodative and informative. No hard sell, no pressure to give good reviews. The food served in the restaurant was more than enough. There so many dishes to devour. Small group in the d-car. There were just two other couples with my family. A trip to be remembered
