– ITINERARY – 

Your local guide will pick you up at your hotel in the Old Quarter of Hanoi. The guide will provide a tour schedule and safety instructions, including adjusting helmets to ensure a safe and comfortable journey.

 

Get on your Vespa and start your journey through the bustling streets of Hanoi. Your ride will take you through scenic outer Hanoi countryside, allowing you to admire rural landscapes, local villages, and lush plains.

 

Throughout the trip, you will pass by expansive rice fields, lush vegetable patches, and traditional farming activities. The scenery will become more peaceful as you leave the city behind, and you’ll see local residents engaged in their daily work.

 

After the ride, you will visit Thành Cổ Loa: Loa Citadel is one of Vietnam’s oldest citadels, dating back to the 3rd century BC. This historical site was once the center of the ancient Âu Lạc Kingdom. Take a walk around the archaeological area with your guide, who will explain the rich history and legends surrounding this site, especially the story of King An Dương Vương and the fairy princess Mỵ Châu - Trọng Thủy. Explore the remains of the ancient citadel, including impressive brick walls and the king’s temple.

 

After exploring the ancient citadel, continue your Vespa journey through surrounding villages. Your route may include a stop at a local market where you can see a variety of fresh produce, farm-made goods, and street foods that locals buy daily.

 

Additionally, you can stop at a local farm to see how rice and other crops are cultivated. If lucky, you might witness traditional farming activities such as harvesting rice or planting vegetables.

 

Take a rest at a local Vietnamese coffee shop in the countryside, enjoying leisure time. You might have the chance to taste local specialties for lunch, such as fresh fruit, traditional bread, or a milk coffee. Your guide can also help answer questions about ingredients and cooking methods. Depending on the time of day, you might even chat with friendly locals, who will share their lifestyle with you.

 

Ride your vespa back to Hanoi, enjoying the final stretch of the journey along scenic routes. The lush fields and green villages provide one last chance to experience the charm of rural Vietnam.
