Full description

This is a experience in Sapa, built around Ninh Binh Province and Sapa Market. It is run by Taha Travel Agency Vn, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Japan's outdoors is organised: trails are marked, mountain huts are booked, and the walking routes with history, the Nakasendo post road between Magome and Tsumago and the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage in Wakayama, are done in comfortable day stages with luggage forwarded. Cycling tours use the flat river paths and back streets that cars avoid. The summer heat from July to September makes early starts essential in the cities and lowlands, while the mountains are cool. Winter turns Hokkaido and Nagano into ski country from December to March, with the powder that Niseko and Hakuba are known for.

The price covers Scenic drive to Ninh Binh, Visit to Hoa Lu Ancient Capital, Tam Coc boat trip, Visit to Mua Cave and Overnight train to Sapa. It does not cover Personal expenses, Travel insurance and Tips, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

120 Đ. Trần Quang Khải, Phố cổ Hà Nội, Hồng Hà, Hà Nội, Vietnam. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Taha Travel Agency Vn before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

The price does not cover personal expenses, travel insurance and tips. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
No, a local rower takes you; Trang An's loop is two to three hours in a sampan through caves and you sit the whole way. A small tip for the rower is customary. Bring a hat and sunscreen, the boats are open, and wear shoes you can cycle in for the paddy-field ride between sights.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
