New Experiences
This new experience takes travellers through the rural countryside near Hanoi, interacting with farmers and locals while exploring centuries-old pottery villages. This experience allows us to offer a different area from the popular Half Day Rural Life Hanoi by Bike
A wonderful wellness experience to an off-the-beaten track and authentic area led by an experienced and personable instructor, Ms Dzung. The tour is combined with a plant-based cooking class, a bicycle ride and a basket boat ‘cruise’ making this a fine new experience for 2024 bookings.
