- Hanoi Opera House - 07:20 - 7:50 The guide will collect guests from hotels in the Hanoi Old Quarter. The journey begins with a 110km drive in a comfortable vehicle through lush landscapes, with a stop for a break along the way. For those staying outside the Old Quarter, please meet at the Hanoi Opera House at 7:40 am to join the tour group (note that the Hanoi Opera House is a pickup point, not a tour site).
- Mua Caves - (OPTIONAL) Visit Mua Cave and hike to the top of Dragon Mountain. The hike involves climbing 486 stone steps to reach the summit, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the area. The path to Mua Cave resembles the Great Wall of China. Although the steps are steep, taking a slow pace allows for photo opportunities. Once at the top, any fatigue will vanish, replaced by the stunning view of expansive rice fields (Tam Coc rice fields). Please note: If you wish to participate in this activity, the tour guide will assist in purchasing the ticket, which costs 100,000 VND or 4 USD per person.
- Hoa Lu Temples of the Dinh & Le Dynasties - 11:30 Explore the ancient Citadel of Hoa Lu, featuring the King Dinh Temple from the 10th Century. This former capital offers numerous historical sites, including temples where emperors and royals from over 1000 years ago are honored. Hoa Lu still retains remnants of the ancient fortress built by the Dinh dynasty. The Imperial Palace, buried 3 meters underground, is a fascinating site to visit. The tour continues with a 30-minute bike ride through a rural village to experience local life. Please note that this biking activity is an optional, complimentary experience to enjoy the serene rural scenery, not a professional biking tour. If biking is not preferred, guests can opt to walk around, take photos, or relax at a restaurant while others cycle.
- Trang An Landscape Complex - (OPTIONAL) Visit the Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex. This area offers stunning scenery, where guests can board a small boat to explore Trang An. The journey includes views of majestic limestone cliffs, intriguing caves, and countryside vistas, with a boat trip to explore the cave complex: Sang Cave, Toi Cave, Giot Cave, amidst the wild beauty, reminiscent of Ha Long Bay on land. Please note: If you wish to participate in this activity, the tour guide will assist in purchasing the ticket, which costs 250,000 VND or 9 USD per person.
- Hanoi Opera House - After visiting Trang An, guests will return to the tour bus for the journey back to Hanoi. Drop-off will be at hotels in the Hanoi Old Quarter or at the meeting point (Hanoi Opera House). The tour concludes around 19:30 - 19:45 at the hotel.
