What To Expect
Embark on an exciting journey into the outskirts of Hanoi with our Hanoi Countryside Jeep Tour, beginning directly from your hotel in or around the Hanoi Old Quarter. Escape the busy main streets and allow us to take you on a scenic route through the city’s urban outskirts and peaceful countryside, across a bridge to the Red River’s other side, offering stunning farmland panoramas and a tranquil ambiance. Gain insights into locals’ daily activities, explore traditional villages, and comprehend the impact of industrialization and urbanization throughout the tour. Option 1: Co Loa Ancient Citadel village Venturing into the hidden back alleys of Hanoi’s outskirts, we immerse ourselves in the authentic side of the city that tourists rarely get to see. This is a chance to experience the real Hanoi, away from the beaten path and typical tourist attractions. We get a glimpse into the everyday lives of local people, witnessing the rural villages, farmers toiling in the fields, and the presence of livestock. The stark contrast to city life is truly eye-opening. Our main destination for the day is the Co Loa ancient citadel. This historic site dates back to 280 BC and offers a captivating insight into Vietnamese culture, history, and mythology through its well-preserved architecture. In addition, we delve deep into the traditional way of life in rural Hanoi, with activities such as wet rice farming, exploring local markets, and witnessing the production of handicrafts. Co Loa village is like a living museum, encapsulating the essence of Vietnamese culture and daily life. We conclude our incredible day with a home-hosted meal, lovingly prepared by a local family. Here, we indulge in authentic Vietnamese cuisine, forging a meaningful connection with the local culture. Option 2: Bat Trang Ceramic Village: Our destination is the famous Bat Trang ceramic village, which is the largest village of its kind in Vietnam and has a long history that dates back thousands of years. Get ready to be amazed by the immersion in ancient art and heritage, navigating the tiny ancient alleyways, and delving into the Vietnamese culture’s deep-rooted history. Learn about the current daily life of the village’s handicrafts industry by taking part in a ceramic class with the local craft-man. At the end or the beginning of the tour, depending on the morning or afternoon schedule, you’ll enjoy an authentic, organic, and healthy Hanoi food with drinks. Join us on a journey to experience Hanoi’s countryside’s real-life by taking our Hanoi Countryside Jeep Tour and immerse yourself in the local daily life.

Great to hear stories and see different side of Hanoi

5.00It was great to get outside of the city center and see a different side of Hanoi. Bee was a great guide - she is very nice and shared a lot of stories and interesting things about Vietnamese culture. It felt like talking with a friend. Driving in the jeep is an exciting experience too, but not for the faint hearted.
Great tour for all ages

5.00This trip was worth every penny. I certainly wouldn't have had such an amazing experience if I had participated in all the activities myself. Hotel pick-up, driver, tour guide – every aspect went smoothly. Louis was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. Suc was an excellent driver. Hanoi traffic was very congested, but he handled it very professionally.
Very good day out

5.00We had the best tour hosted by Bee and Six (our driver). We knew we wanted to head out of the city and we did, visiting the ceramic village and trying our hand at pottery. Bee gave us insights into Vietnamese culture, family and way of life. We loved cruising around Hanoi in a jeep - great way to feel amongst it. Would recommend without a doubt.
Experiencing Hanoi with the family :-)
