Full description
Join the Green Sisters for a gentle half day in the Red River Delta. Riding as a passenger with a local female rider on a quiet electric scooter, you leave the city over Long Bien Bridge for rice paddies, buffaloes and a village market.
Your female guide introduces Co Loa Citadel, the 2,000-year-old capital, and the legends of King An Duong Vuong, then you relax at a lotus garden with lotus tea and koi fish. Back in Hanoi, enjoy egg coffee by West Lake and a meal of Bun Cha — a calm, personal way to see rural Vietnam.
