Your local guide will meet you at your hotel in the Hanoi Old Quarter or nearby area. After a warm welcome, you’ll receive a helmet and a short safety briefing before starting your journey on a modern electric scooter, seated comfortably behind your guide.
Leave the Old Quarter and ride through local neighborhoods, small alleyways, and residential streets rarely visited by tourists. Along the way, observe authentic daily life—street vendors, bustling markets, and traditional homes—while your guide shares stories about Hanoi’s culture and history.
Continue riding across the Red River via the historic Long Bien Bridge or a nearby bridge. Enjoy beautiful views of the river, green banana plantations, and peaceful riverside landscapes that offer a refreshing contrast to Hanoi’s busy city center.
Arrive at the famous Bat Trang Ceramic Village, a traditional craft village with more than 700 years of history. Walk through quiet village alleys lined with old brick houses and traditional kilns while learning about the origins of Bat Trang and its important role in Vietnamese ceramic craftsmanship.
Visit family-run pottery workshops to observe skilled artisans shaping clay, hand-painting ceramics, glazing pottery, and firing pieces in traditional kilns. You will also have the opportunity to join a short pottery-making class where a local craftsman guides you in creating your own ceramic piece.
Afterward, explore the lively Bat Trang ceramic market, filled with handmade bowls, vases, cups, and decorative items. Enjoy free time to browse unique souvenirs, take photos, and interact with local vendors.
Hop back on the e-scooter for a relaxing ride back toward Hanoi, passing through riverside villages and quiet countryside roads. Along the way, stop at a popular local restaurant to enjoy Bún Chả, one of Hanoi’s most famous dishes featuring grilled pork, rice noodles, fresh herbs, and dipping sauce.
The culinary experience continues at a cozy café where you can relax and savor Hanoi’s iconic egg coffee while learning about its unique preparation and history.
Finally, enjoy the last ride back to your hotel in the Old Quarter, ending a memorable half-day journey of culture, craftsmanship, and authentic local flavors.
