The tour invites you to escape from the crowded city to the tranquil countryside and legendary Co Loa Citadel. Venturing by motorbikes and escorted by charming Vietnamese women who speak English is a great way to spend your day.
8:00 AM: Pick up from your hotel then ride out of Hanoi across the historic Long Bien Bridge to witness the Red River and scenic countryside.
Our first stop is a traditional 800 year old village that embodies a beautiful example of Vietnamese countryside. You will visit the old village gate, pagoda, temple, and communal house and interact with local life of working, playing and praying. Visit a local family and join them for some tea and candy with your guide acting as a translator.
Your tour continues through the expansive rice paddies and venture off the beaten path leading to Co Loa Citadel where we will learn more of the rich Vietnamese history and how Vietnam defended itself from invaders.
After you’ll be taken through the zigzagging village alleys as we arrive at the heart of the local farmland. Visit a farm and sample the freshly picked fruit while enjoying the lush scenery and endless greenery around us.
Finally stop at an authentic local Vietnamese restaurant. Enjoy fresh Vietnamese cuisine that truly fresh.
After lunch head back to town, drop off back to your hotel.
