Pedaling through different parts of Hanoi 1 day
Tour code: CDY119 | Tour Style: City Discovery
A Hanoi full day cycling tour helps you to observe and discover the capital’s urbanization, which has made a sharp difference between the city and the countryside, the farming area and the urban area. Whereas the Hanoi downtown is often conjured up by the image of the noisy crowded streets, the traffic jams, or the nine-to-five people who’re always in a hurry, its countryside still treasures contrast one which is being forgotten or even eroded by the young generations. Join us to have worthwhile experience on two different parts of the moving capital.
