Things to do in Tam Coc - Bich Dong

Perfect Ninh Binh Day Tour — Jay made it extra special! Everything about this tour was absolutely amazing! Pickup was on time, the bus was clean and comfortable, and the itinerary was perfectly paced — not rushed at all. Big thanks to our tour guide Jay! He was so friendly, helpful, and spoke great English. He shared so many interesting facts about Ninh Binh and Vietnam, and made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the trip. Trang An boat ride was breathtaking — stunning karst mountains, peaceful rivers, and incredible caves. Mua Cave views were unforgettable, and Hoa Lu was full of history. Lunch was delicious and filling too! All fees were included — no hidden charges. Great value for money! Huge recommendation — if you book, hope you get Jay as your guide! 10/10 experience, thank you! 🙌🇻🇳

I really had no idea what to expect when I booked this excursion. The trip was very well described on the website but even with that, one doesn’t really fully understand how it will all run. I was VERY pleasantly surprised with our driver, our amazing tour guide (called “T”) and the smooth operations of the trip. And that’s not even going into the magic we saw along the way. T was skilled in sharing the history and stories of all the sights we saw. It was a full day and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. We had a mixture of ages in our group and T made sure all of us were tended to.

Really great experience with this tour group - Ninh binh has amazing scenery - I will definitely recommend this to my friends and family. Celine and Sarah were amazing at communication and ensuring we had the best service for this day trip.

This activity is well worth exploring. It started promptly, and the drive was about two hours, with a stop halfway for restrooms and food. I recommend eating breakfast before departing. The first stop was Hoa Lu Ancient Capital, where we had about 50 minutes. Remember to bring a fan and an umbrella, as it can suddenly rain heavily in Vietnam! The second stop was for lunch, which was a buffet. The food was decent; don't expect too much, it's just a buffet to fill your stomach. After lunch, our guide took us cycling. If you prefer not to cycle, you can relax at the restaurant. After lunch, we went for a boat ride. There are two locations, Trang An and Tam Coc, and we were assigned to Tam Coc. The entire experience was enjoyable. Remember to bring an umbrella. During the ride, they will try to sell you handmade paintings, but we politely declined. After getting off the boat, the boatman will ask for a tip. The third stop was Mua Caves for hiking. Since the stairs were quite wet after the rain, and we were too tired, we decided not to climb for safety reasons. We sat at the restaurant below and took some photos. I must commend our guide, Ryan; his explanations were humorous, very clear (10/10), and helpful!

Highly recommend this travel itinerary! My husband and I don't speak any English, but our guide, Vu Long, was incredibly kind. He sent us explanations translated into Korean one by one and even checked in with us again. Even though we couldn't communicate verbally, we had a very fun, fulfilling, and comfortable trip. And for Koreans, rice is power! The lunch buffet was delicious.

We are so full! we made so much food that was so tasty that I’m so happy we had this experience in Tam Coc. I’ll admit that the history of the home was a little boring for my kids, but once we started cooking, the experience got better and better. we picked vegetables that we ate shortly after. it literally doesn’t get fresher! after making the dishes, we then got to eat them, which was even more fun! They gave us background on the dishes and lots of information on Vietnamese culture including ending the night in the courtyard with Tea the way a Vietnamese family would end the night. thank you so much for putting this together and giving Tourists this opportunity to learn about Vietnamese life!

All was excellent. Great tour, great transfer, great accomodation and food! Ninh Binh tour has been wonderful!! A special thanks to our guide Linh that has been very kind, very professional and told us a lot of vietnamese history. Thank you Linh!!

great experience with one minor hiccup. let me start with whats great, i love the bus driver he was kind and also attentive to the tourists cause my sister mistakenly boarded the wrong bus but he saw her and called out to her. another is that he is such a great driver that i can fall asleep and trust that we are safe. for the guide, martin is kind and helped my sister wash her wound as she fell off the bike. MY CONCERN is that theres not enough medical supply in case of emergency and why are the bikes provided with breaks that do not work? but i must say, all in all it was a very great experience and its really good for the value of your money.

Amazing day trip for anyone visiting Hanoi and looking for a different experience! It’s quite intensive, but absolutely rewarding. The pickup and drop-off car was clean and comfortable, and our tour guide Mr. Huang was incredibly nice and attentive throughout. You could really tell they cared about the little details - providing traditional Vietnamese hats for us to wear, giving us seat cushions before the boat ride, and offering water and desserts along the way. Everything was well organized, the explanations were genuinely engaging and fun, and overall we were very satisfied with the entire experience. Highly recommended!
