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.

Getting out of Hanoi.

5.00Wonderful to venture out of the hustle and bustle of Hanoi and experience a home-cooked meal, see lots of gardens, explore little-seen temples. We had a terrific guide. Bee was personable and relaxed and told us so many interesting stories and had lots of info about the sites. Definitely off the beaten path. Highly recommended. Dress warmly!! I ended up borrowing two jackets and a scarf. Brrr.

5.00We had a great Jeep Tour with Jim visiting the Ban Tran Pottery Village. It was great to get out of the busy city and see the countryside. Our children really enjoyed having a turn at making their own pottery creations. I bought some beautiful ceramics to bring back with me as well as thoughtful souvenirs. 5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

5.00It was a great experience, and I would recommend it to everyone. We had fun and leaned new things about the history of Vietnam and meanings/traditions. Our tour guide was the lovely Bee and we nicknamed our driver Orange😊they made our experience even better bringing positive vibes and jokes. During the trip we also went to this local place Bee showed us and it was living proof that you don’t need to know the language to create connection with one another. I would recommend booking and asking for Bee, her English is great and the vibe she brings makes you light up more as well.
