Hoa Lư and Tam Cốc with Bike Ride and Family Visit

7.Hoa Lư and Tam Cốc with Bike Ride and Family Visit

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3 reviews · from $95

Travel from Hanoi in a small group of up to eight by luxury limousine bus. Cycle through Tam Coc villages and rice fields, visit a three-generation local family, eat a Vietnamese lunch, row through Tam Coc caves, and finish at Hoa Lu, Vietnam’s 10th-century capital.

“It is very beautiful place and the local family is super friendly. The food there is fantastic. Overall the day is in a big hurry, which is not good. The boat trip goes back and forth the same part of the river. It could be organised so that some tours go to the other end, the others to the other. Rowers would have new customers to both directions and it would save time to keep the other activities feeling more like leisure time.”
