At either 8:00AM or 13:00, your tour guide will meet you in the lobby of your hotel. We'll set off on an adventure to explore the outskirts of Hanoi, where you'll discover the typical local villages of the Northern Vietnamese countryside.
First, we'll cross the Red River, where you'll enjoy a panoramic view of the river and its boats floating peacefully beneath. You'll also get a chance to witness the beautiful green vegetable farms on the nearby island.
Continuing our journey, we'll travel through the countryside along the Red River's banks. Along the way, you'll be able to take in the breathtaking scenery of Vietnam's countryside, and see the farmers cultivating their lands.
