The overnight stay gives you time for both Tam Coc and Trang An. A sampan ride at Tam Coc and a cycle towards Bich Dong bring you into the countryside, while Bai Dinh and Trang An make a separate day before the return to Hanoi.
In Hanoi, a cyclo through the Old Quarter rounds out the city visits. Browse other Hanoi tours if you are comparing time in the capital.
