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.

5.00Tuna & Dragon were fantastic guides for the morning, out in the country side. We looked at banana & cumquat plantations, then onto ceramic factory and showroom very interesting to see the detail that goes into making, painting the ceramics. Hands on attempt to make a bowl (more like a toilet) and then onto lunch at Hidden Gem Cafe with a very tasty lunch. Thanks Tuna for a great informative morning & Dragon for some seriously great driving skills.

5.00So much fun with our guides and driver - Tuna and Dragon. My wife, sister and a friend did the countryside tour, with the highlight being the Battrang Carmanic tour plus picking our own Guava’s and a great lunch at Hidden Gem coffee. Highly recommend the Jeep Tours with Backstreet Tours, ask for Tuna and Dragon.
Fabulous farm and ceramic experience.

5.00Interesting tour that brings you off the beaten track to the countryside of Hanoi where air is better and life is slower. Everything from the private home lunch to the stories behind Vietnamese history and culture was excellent. Our tour guide John was awesome! Bursting with energy, he speaks really good English, has an in-depth knowledge of the history and culture and patiently answered all our questions. Highly recommended!
