Itinerary
Hoa Lu Ancient Capital is located in Ninh Binh provice, the land has both marvelous mountains and seas with the development of many attractive tourist areas. Hoa Lu ancient capital, perhaps, makes the province more attractive because it creates the cultural identity of the area and help people understand more about the cultural, architectural and sculptural values associated with the legend about the foundation of Dai Co Viet ( an old name of Viet Nam country). This place is worth visiting for anyone who wants to explore and learn new things
Often refered to as “Halong Bay on Land” due to the lush green rice paddies and towering limestone cliffs, Tam Coc and Ninh Binh are areas of Vietnam that are all too often overlooked by visitors. Just 2 hours south of the bustling city of Hanoi, we think that Tam Coc is one of the best places to visit in Vietnam. Tam Coc and Ninh Binh are the perfect places to relax and unwind while soaking up the landscape and the culture of Vietnam. It’s the perfect retreat from hectic Hanoi and touristy Halong Bay. In fact, we highly recommend you add at least a couple of days in this beautiful region to your Vietnam itinerary.

Vietnam 2023
It was an amazing experience! We worked with Lana, tour coordinator from Crossing Vietnam Tour, and planned our 3-week trip starting from North Vietnam to South Vietnam. Lana was very responsive, easy to work with and listened to what we wanted and tailored to our needs. Dan was our amazing tour guide in Hanoi! There were 18 people in our group ranging from 3 - 85 years old. Instead of rushing us, Dan was very patience, accommodating and went at our pace since we were slow, like to looked at souvenirs and shopped. We all had an awesome time in Vietnam! Would definitely use Lana from Crossing Tour Vietnam again. Highly recommend Dan as your tour guide in Hanoi, Linh as your tour guide in Hue, and Hien as your tour guide in Saigon. They were all amazing guides.
Best way to explore Ninh Binh
Tracy informed me about the options I have while traveling in Hanoi. She was very helpful and I went with her recommendation. She was awesome and Andy (tour guide) was also awesome! I had a great experience working with Tracy. She also recommended other things to check out in the city! Thank you! Highly recommend Tracy and her team!
A beautiful day trip out of Hanoi
I signed up for a one day tour with Viator and had a beautiful day out with that family. Our tour guide Thi gave us a very personalized service from the beginning to the end with his cheerfulness, knowledge about Vietnam, care and and concern for us. Everything was week arranged and throughout the day, he helped make wonderful family photos which I would otherwise miss out as I was usually the family photographer! It was a hot day but really enjoyable and memorable experience for me and my family. Thanks! Lim EK
