1. Hanoi
   1h 30m
   Before the tour, our knowledgeable guide will greet you at the meeting location (or your hotel) and provide you with a brief orientation. The guide will tell you everything you need to know in order to have a fantastic trip, and then we'll set off on our adventure. Three aspects of the trip will be discussed.
   1. Backstreet Ride: Get to know Hanoi's lesser-known areas
   We'll drive through a maze of passageways only locals know about, make introductions, and learn about the behind-the-scenes stories;
   - Riding through the labyrinth of zigzagging backstreets, narrow alleyways, and markets;
   - Traveling with all of your senses on high alert: observing, hearing, touching, tasting, smelling;
   - Experiencing various slides of life behind the scenes, the hidden part of the iceberg, and the unknown parts;
   - Getting to know people where they live, work, study, and pray;
   - Personal connections and cultural exchanges are being formed.

   2. The French and Old Quarters: Highlights of the city
   In the late 1800s, the French razed old Vietnamese buildings and replaced them with towering French-style villas, earning Hanoi the nickname "Little Paris”.
   - Circumnavigating the enchanting French Colonial Quarter and the vibrant Hanoi Old Quarter;
   - Passing past the Ho Chi Minh Complex, Temple of Literature, Tran Quoc Temple, West Lake, Truc Bach lake, Hoan Kiem lake, Opera House, and train street, which are all must-see attractions in Hanoi.
3. 1h 30m
   3. Middle Island:
   Due to the quantity of water in the Red River, the island was built by a warp, offering shelter for many fishermen. This is a run-down neighborhood with no electricity or running water. We'll show you how life is very different on the other side of the mountain.
   - Taking a stroll through the bright and serene flower, vegetable, and banana plantations;
   - Observing various aspects of life and the disparity in harmony between Hanoi's city and countryside living;
   - This is a forgotten portion of town with no electricity or water service. We'll show you how life is very different down there.
