Things to do in Hoa Lu Ancient Capital

We had a great time touring with heritage travel. The limousine bus was very comfortable. Tom, our guide, took really good care of us, he made sure evrything is organized, making our trip very easy. He is very handy and good with people. I really like that he explained really well the history of hao lu capital when we went there. Also the food is really good 100% highly recommended. will definetely book here again if given the chance.

Miss Lan is a wonderful person, great tour guide and even greater photographer. She answered all pur questions, explained everything on the tour and was always smiling. We covered all major attractions in Ninh Binh in one day and it was very comfortable. Definitely recommend the tour and Lan!

There was a heavy rain on the day of our sightseeing tour, even though our Trang An trip got cancelled due to safety issue, our tour guide Viet explained and rescheduled us to Tam Coc very quickly and smoothly to ensure we enjoyed the tour. I got my phone socked in heavy rain and spoiled so Viet was unable to call me when we were in Dragon mountain, but he still make sure I hopped into the return bus, so thankful for that! The admin Ruby was reacting fast on the refund on the price difference for the reschedule, and we feel very secure. Me and my friend enjoyed the Tam Coc view despite the heavy rain, we both fell asleep on the boat hahahah! Love it!

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.

During the travel time, our guide spoke to us in English, and we even had time to shop at a store during a restroom break! There was a staff member who spoke excellent Japanese and introduced us to various products! At the beginning, in the ancient capital of Hoa Lu, we enjoyed cycling to our destination! The boat ride in Trang An lasted over an hour and was very satisfying! Finally, at Mua Cave, the steps were very steep and challenging to climb, but the view from the top was absolutely spectacular! Our guide was also wonderful, and this tour was definitely the right choice!✨

great tour. they only provide cab and no buffet included with tour.

it was nice , would love more instructions and guide involvement in the tour

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.
