Overview of your Hanoi tour

Ninh Binh, is one of Vietnam's most striking destinations. Breathtaking boat rides and lush countryside are just half of the appeal: the area is also rich in cultural treasures and is listed as a UNESCO Heritage Site. My tour will take you to spectacular view and peaceful countryside area of Ninh Binh. Tam Coc is the perfect place to relax and unwind while soaking up the landscape and the culture of Vietnam. Situated near the southern margin of the Red River Delta, the Tam Coc is a spectacular landscape of limestone karst peaks permeated with valleys, many of them partly submerged and surrounded by steep, almost vertical cliffs.

We had a wonderful time in Vietnam. Sammy made this a most memorable trip! We couldn't have done all the things on this tour without her. She adjusted the schedule to meet our needs and always provided us with flexibility as needed. She helped us experience the wonderful food and culture of Vietnam. We would highly recommend this tour and using Sammy and her team. We had so much fun on the motorbike tour of Hanoi, the excursions outside of Hanoi and of course the food tour and cooking class. She took us to several eateries in Hanoi that we went back to on our own during the extra time in Hanoi. Her recommendations were spot on. If you are looking for unique experiences, great good and local culture, as well as information on Vietnam's history - this tour is for you and Sammy is the guide you want!! When we go back to Vietnam, we will use Sammy again.

Ninh Binh is a cannot-miss when visiting Hanoi, and this tour with Sammy was perfect. She was very accommodating to us and our preferences, and we got to see so much in one day. The Tam Coc sampan ride was a personal favorite of our time in Hanoi, and my son especially loved climbing the 500 steps at Mua Cave. Sammy was very knowledgeable and friendly, and our driver was excellent as well. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend this tour to see nature and enjoy some wonderful views! Sammy planned a thoughtful itinerary for the day and her historical knowledge is very impressive and educational. You can tell that Sammy is passionate in what she does and made sure we were comfortable throughout the tour. The optional bike trip was really fun and super approachable. The views and spontaneous spotting of goats was super cute. Thank you Sammy for an unforgettable day ❤️

I highly recommend Sammy for your tour guide while in Hanoi. Sammy took me on a full day city tour and then out to the famous Ninh Binh. Great mix of city and country. She is an excellent guide! She has a vast amount of experience, expert knowledge of the history of the country and has a very pleasant personality. Each tour was well planned and coordinated excellently with the car/driver. Sammy can tailor any tour to your specific needs and make adjustments on the fly so that you get the best experience possible. You will be very happy you selected Sammy to show you the best of Hanoi!!

At agreed time: I and driver will pick you up at your hotel. We are on 2.5 hour journey and then start to explore Ninh Binh, the beautiful countryisde area and the ancient capital in 10th century. We arrive to Ninh Binh. First, we will visit amazing dancing cave,where you conquer 500 steps before reaching to the top for great view. Then, it is time for us to relax on sampan boat trip in Tam Coc with marverlous limestone moutains, caves above water. This is truly a great combination of nature and cultural values. After that, We will stop at a local local restaurant to try goat meat (a speciality here) and other famous local food by excellent chef. After lunch, we will take a walk enjoy such beautiful countryside area on a bicyle trip. I will take you to peaceful route. We can visit unspoilt Tuyet Tinh Coc in stead of bicyle trip.
