Day Tour at Hoa Lu, Tam Coc and Ninh Binh in Vietnam
Description
The ancient capital of Hoa Lư was located in a flat valley between small but steep limestone mountains that created virtually impenetrable barriers to human traffic. Even today, many of the mountains are accessible only to the mountain goats that roam the area. Tam Cốc, literally "three caves", consists of three natural caves — Hang Cả, Hang Hai & Hang Ba — on the Ngô Đồng River. Tourists are taken in small boats along the river from the village of Ván Lám, through rice fields and limestone karsts, through the caves, and back. Local women serve as guides and attempt to sell embroidered goods to their passengers. The guides are well known for rowing their boats using their feet.

I had a fantastic experience working with Annie, who organized a couple of tours for us. From the very beginning, her communication was clear and direct, making the entire process smooth and enjoyable. The payment was hassle-free, and the tours themselves exceeded our expectations. Our guides were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, enhancing the experience even further. I highly recommend Annie for her outstanding service. Keep up the great work!

AMAZING TRIP. THE WAY ANNIE HELPS DURING THE TRIP IS COMMENDABLE. THE TOUR WAS WELL ORGANISED BY ANNIE AND HER TEAM. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
We went on two organized tours (Halong Bay/ Ninh Bin) without any hassle and enjoyed our vacation to the fullest. Absolutely satisfied with the room we were given with a nice view of Ha Noi old town. Special thanks to the staff and Annie who made our stay memorable and convenient by giving us guidance to plan our itinerary perfectly. We covered almost all the attractions of Ha Noi, Ninh Bin, Halong Bay, Da Nang and Ho chin Minh.
