Leave Hanoi at 07.30 and head south for a 2-hours drive along Highway One. Once we reach Hoa Lu, we are introduced to our bicycles. We then start cycling to visit the two remaining temples of the ancient citadel of Hoa Lu. Our morning continues with a 1 hour cycle to Tam Coc (12km), just passing scenes of local village life and rice paddies. Arrive at Tam Coc by lunch, we check in Hotel for a break and have lunch. After that we cycle for 20 minutes from Tam Coc to Thung Nang wharf where we will have an hour boat trip to visit Thung Nang. This new boat route takes us off the tourist trail and along an undiscovered route. The boats are waiting for you to head back for another exciting cycle in the afternoon to Ninh Van – a stone handicraft village. On the way you will experience a wooden boat ride – using local transportation. Ninh Van located 5km from Tam Coc, here you have a chance to see many sculptures shaping up under artist’s hands and visit to an old stone villa. Cycling to visit Thai Vi Temple . Around 17:00 we say goodbye with the village and cycle back to our Hotel .
