7.2 day Trang An – Mua cave – Cycling with Bungalow stay

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 18 reviews · from $159

Travel from Hanoi to Ninh Binh with an English-speaking guide, visiting Hoa Lu, Trang An, Mua Cave, Tuyet Tinh Coc, and a local market. You will cycle through villages, take a sampan through limestone caves, join a cooking class, and sleep in a bungalow with a pool. Guides may include Alan, Victor, or Luong.

“The tour was amazing - itinerary, guide and transport. The itinerary included going to all the major spots in Ninh Binh plus more. If you’re looking to really get more for your experience, I would highly recommend doing the 2D1N trip rather than all of the day trips this app offers. With a guide you end up going to local places that you would not be able to research and find. 99% of what made the tour so good was because of my guide ALAN. He was very friendly and very well-spoken. He knew a lot about the history and culture of Ninh Binh, and took me to private tours…”
