Depart from your hotel in Hanoi early in the morning, the drive to Ninh Binh province takes you about 2,5 hours through the fertile land of the Red River Delta.
Upon arrival, you will take 2-hour sampan boat trip at Tam Coc (Three Caves). This area is considered as “Inland Halong Bay” featured with karst formations. It is very beautiful scenery along the row with vertical sides of Limestone Mountains and rice paddy-fields. The local rowers will take you gently through three beautiful limestone caves with hundreds of stalactites above your heads.
Back to the dock and transfer to a local restaurant for a Vietnamese lunch.
In the afternoon
After lunch, you will jump on a bike for a stunning ride along the back roads through the beautiful scenery of towering karsts on the ground of ponds, rice paddies and rural villages in the area.
On the bike, we will have as many stops as you want to take photographs. One of the stop is Bich Dong Pagoda. Bich Dong pagoda is an important religious place for the locals in the region. It comprises three structures: Ha (Low), Trung (Middle), and Thuong (Upper) pagodas in ascending order at the side of a rocky mountain. We will take a slow hike up to visit the three structures. Beside learning about the local belief, you will get a beautiful view when you reach the highest one. Thence, we pedal back to where we start.
About 3:30 PM, we get back on our private vehicle and take the afternoon drive back to Hanoi. Arrive in Hanoi and finish the trip at your hotel. 1440 minutes

We had a great day in Ninh Binh! The customer service rep (Molly) was very helpful organising a custom tour so we could see the major sights. Our guide, Thu, was very friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. We saw Bai Dinh temple, Hoa Lu ancient city, Bich Dong pagoda, and Tam Coc boat tour. We would recommend this company to others!

We did a trip in Vietnam and becouse we are over 60 yers old to be eficient we decided to organise the trips we had to do in Vietnam with a local agency from Vietnam. We visited Hanoi, Tam Coc, Ha Long Bay,Da Nang ( Hoi An, My Son Sanctuary… )
Custom Asia Travel is the perfect agency. The organisation and planing of the trips where perfect. The cars very clean and confortable, the drivers polite and friendly. We had very good guides ( Cường in Hanoi and Tam Coc and Tran Thanh Binh in Saigon,the guide in Da Nang) they where very good qualified for this activity.
The guides planned very good the details of the trips and they gave us very good informations about the visited places.
The selection of the hotels, the restaurants and for the boat in Ha Long bay ( Peony 1) was also perfect made by Custom Asia Travel. We recommend this agency and this guides.

We are a family of five (children aged 15, 12 and 8) and did the two day / one night trip to Ninh Binh, including Tam Coc and the Bich Dong Pagoda on the first day and Cuc Phoung National Park on the second day. We thoroughly enjoyed this trip. It was very well organized and when booking and in the lead up the communication from the company (through Ms Minh Ninh) was excellent. Everything ran smoothly with a very nice hotel and comfortable van, but it was our guide (Mr Kim) who really made the trip so enjoyable. His English was perfect and he was very interesting to chat to, not just about the places we visited but Vietnam life and people more generally. He was great with the children and kept encouraging us to be adventurous on the bike ride and jungle walk. The highlight of the trip were the primate and turtle conservation centres, which the children loved. I would thoroughly recommend this trip and the company, but would also say visit Ninh Binh sooner rather than later as it is becoming very popular and there is lots of development happening.
