• Our female drivers and tour guide wearing traditional dress – Ao Dai will meet you at your hotel lobby for a safety briefing and detailed itinerary of your journey.
• Our motorbike tour begins as we ride out of Hanoi across the historic Long Bien bridge and along the bank of the Red River.  Cooling breezes off the water make for a pleasant drive along the roads as you get to view the scenic countryside as the noise from the city fades into the background.  Our first stop is an 800 year old village that embodies a beautiful historic example of one of the traditional villages that used to populate the Vietnamese countryside.  Housed there you will get to see the old village gate, pagoda, temple, and communal house. As we explore the village, you’ll see the thriving life within, and see how to locals work, play, and pray.  You’ll be introduced to a local family and join them for some tea and candy with your guide acting as a translator.
• From there your tour continues on as you cruise through the expansive rice paddies and venture off the beaten path onto the dirt roads leading to Co Loa Citadel where we will teach you more of the rich Vietnamese history in the surrounding areas and how Vietnam defended itself from invaders dating back to 300 B.C.E.
• After you’ll be taken through the zig-zagging village alleys as we arrive at the heart of the local farmland.  Agriculture is still a thriving part of the Vietnamese economy, and nothing exemplifies this more clearly than exploring the thriving farmland near the villages. We will visit a local farm and sample the freshly picked fruit while enjoying the lush scenery and endless greenery around us.
• Finally our tour through the countryside concludes with a visit to an authentic local Vietnamese restaurant.  Here you’ll get to enjoy fresh Vietnamese cuisine that truly is farm to table. As we say our goodbyes to the locals and head back to town, we will drop you off back to your hotel, or a place within reasonable distance within Hanoi.
