One-day tour to Hua Lu Ancient Capital/Lu Long Bay in Hanoi, Vietnam

Another package itinerary I participated in this time was a visit to Ninh Binh County, about 90 kilometers south of Hanoi. It included a one-day trip to Hoa Lu and Tam Coc. One way trip by minibus Close to 3 hours. The tour guide and driver will pick everyone up at the hotel in the old town. The rich family will get on the bus from the Grande Collection Hotel & Spa at about 8 a.m., and they will go around the old town for 30 minutes to pick up everyone and prepare to set off. By the way, the Hanoi Opera House is the last place to get on the bus. The two foreign tourists who got on the bus at the end were assigned terrible seats (laughing). The worst thing was that the tour guide didn’t even have a seat. It was really oppressive. .
