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 "secret" places for spectacular view and peaceful countryside area of Ninh Binh.
At your hotel
I and driver will pick you up at your hotel. We drive on highway about 2 hours to the South of Hanoi.
Tuyet Tinh Coc is a complex of lakes, mountains and temples. This area is a small valley with a large lake in the low-lying area. The lake is enclosed by imposing mountain ranges, making Tuyet Tinh Coc an ink-wash painting. The stunning beauty from a fairy tale attracts many tourists to explore this site. The area is called “Tuyet Tinh Coc” since it is the place where people can forget all the exhaustion and hustle of the outside world and find themselves in nature.
After that, we visit the best local restaurant to taste the real local specialties by excellent chef.
Food will be customized upon your food restrictions.
In the afternoon, we will enjoy the spectacular view on the top of "dancing cave". To conquer the cave, you will start with hard trekking through 500 steps. So brace yourself! Once getting on top, the magnificent panoramic views will let you know that it is worth all of your effort reaching here.
Then, we will have a peaceful time on our private sampan boat to visit 3 caves & limestone mountains in Tam Coc.
Often referred to as “Halong Bay on Land” due to the lush green rice paddies and towering limestone cliffs, Tam Coc is the perfect places to relax and unwind while soaking up the landscape and the culture of Vietnam.

We could have a tremendous volume of information on Hanoi and Vietnam during the limited hours from Rose-san. Also, the restaurant and dishes she selected for us were fantastic much much more than we expected. Thank her for the beautiful Hanoi evening with her.
We had booked a privately arranged trip with Nhung aka Rose and we had an awesome time! We were travelling with our 83yr old Mother who had some mobility issues and she planned our tour accordingly. Rose had a great understanding and knowledge of her culture and history plus her communication in English was excellent. Rose took care of us very well, especially my Mother, and her food choices were remarkable. Only regret is we didn't stay longer in Hanoi to continue touring with Rose.
Dear Elisa and dearest sisters and mother, I could not exporess enough my gratitude for your kind appreciation on my services. It was my great honor to be your guide and show you the best of Hanoi. For short days, we had a chance to explore the hidden sites of Hanoi capital city, Ninh Binh - a beautiful ancient capital city and HaLong Bay - New Seven World Natural Wonders. I am so glad that you throughly enjoyed my food choices. I wish you a wonderful trip in Ho Chi Minh city. Lots of love from Hanoi, Rose Nhung
Rose took us on a tour of Hanoi. She is fabulous. She is warm and friendly, her English is excellent and her storytelling as well. She is full of knowledge and knows much about the history of this country. She took us efficiently to all the sites, as well as on a food tour . All in all our experience with her was fantastic. I highly recommend her as your tour guide if you are visiting the city.
Dear Brynie, Thank you so much for such wonderful review. This really made my day. It was my great honor to be your guide and show you an amazing Hanoi through sightseeings, hidden gems and best street food tastings. I am so glad that you had a beautiful time in HaLong Bay. I wish you all the best wishes and lots of love from Hanoi, Rose Nhung
When I first arrived in Hanoi, my preferred mode of transportation would be walk or use a Grab car to go from point A to B. When I started the tour, it was a bit rocky for me to keep my balance, as I wasn't very familiar with motorbikes. However, I had nothing to worry about, as Nhung was a safe driver.If anything, the motorbike tours have not only improved my confidence but also enhanced my overall mindset and experience in Vietnam. Now, I can't get enough of using a Grab bike instead of a car. During the food tour with Nhung, I found one of the best banh mi in Hanoi, which I hadn't found anywhere else during my travels in Vietnam.
Dear Colin, I am so blessed to see your kind feedback. I cannot express enough my sincerest thanks for choosing my services and enjoying the tours with me. I am so glad that you loved the Banh Mi that I show you. Introducing the hidden treasures of my city from sightseeings, local people to local food is my passion. I am so excited to welcome you back next time. With my warmest regards from Hanoi, Nhung Rose
