Itinerary

Start your adventure with a ride through Hanoi’s lively streets towards the iconic Long Bien Bridge, where we'll pause for some memorable photos. Leaving the city noise behind, we venture into the peaceful countryside. Ride along the dike through charming local villages, passing traditional houses, pagodas, temples, bustling local markets, and beautiful rice paddies and vegetable farms.
Next, we will visit Ngoc Thuy Market, a local hub where residents shop for fresh produce, meats, seafood, and household goods. The market provides a lively and authentic glimpse into local life, with vendors selling a variety of items, including fresh herbs, spices, clothing, and street food. It is a great opportunity to explore Vietnamese culture, especially if you're interested in experiencing everyday commerce in Hanoi and trying some local snacks.
As we head towards Co Loa Citadel, enjoy the serene beauty of Hanoi’s lush rice paddies and terraced fields. We’ll take a short break at a local village bar for refreshments before reaching the highlight of the day, Co Loa Citadel. Founded in the 3rd century BC, this ancient site was once the capital of Vietnam. Discover its impressive walls, gates, An Duong Vuong Temple, and Trong Thuy Prince's Well, all steeped in local legends and history. Surrounded by picturesque countryside, the citadel is perfect for exploration and photography. Engage with local villagers and experience their traditional way of life.
On the way back to the city center, we will travel through peaceful floating villages along the Red River. Visit a traditional local house and engage with villagers to learn about their daily lives and works.
During our journey, you will get to try traditional Vietnamese food at a local restaurant and experience the rich and vibrant flavors of Vietnam's cuisine. This meal offers you a real taste of the country's culture and creating unforgettable memories along the way.

Tran Quoc Pagoda is the oldest Buddhist temple in Hanoi, dating back over 1,500 years. Located on a small island in West Lake, it is a beautiful and peaceful spot, known for its stunning architecture and serene atmosphere. The pagoda has a great historical and spiritual significance, reflecting Vietnam’s deep-rooted Buddhist traditions.

Moreover, it used to be a favorite place for sightseeing of many kings of Vietnam during special festivals such as Tet holidays and full moon days. More than 1000 years have passed, and the pagoda still preserves its fame and unique characteristics, making it a picturesque setting for visitors.

To end our lovely Countryside Scooter Tour, we will have a chance to participate in the Egg Coffee demonstration. Egg Coffee, one of the city's most famous and beloved drinks, was invented in the 1940s and has since become a symbol of Hanoi's vibrant coffee culture. The demonstration is a unique cultural experience in Hanoi, offering a chance to learn about and taste one of the city's most famous and beloved drinks.

After a day filled with exploration and cultural immersion, we will return you safely to your hotel, leaving you with lasting memories of beautiful nature and countryside.
