After breakfast we head out of the city and drive through rural northern Vietnam to the site of the country’s first capital, Hoa Lu. We visit the temples dedicated to emperors of the Le Dynasty dating back around 1000 years and view the remains of the ancient Hoa Lu Citadel. If time permits, we’ll also take a half-hour walk into the surrounding limestone karst hills for spectacular views of the area.

This afternoon, sit back and relax on board your private sampan for a boat trip through the Tam Coc. Away from the regular tourist trail, we pass through cave formations and fields of lotus (most beautiful in the Summer) before reaching a hidden pagoda. From here we transfer back to Hanoi where there will be free time in the evening. Lunch and dinner at restaurant.
