Morning time: Hanoi Parts-unknown on motorcycle.

On the first part of the trip, we expose you the REAL HANOI with a day in the life experiences, featured with the parts-unknown of the city with slices of life in the maze of backstreets, tiny alleyways, local homes, schools, random markets and black market, experiencing where & how locals live, work and play. Other travel companies just show you the beauty and tell you to run away from the bad and the weird of your destinations.

For us, the run-off-the mill tourist sites are only the tip of the iceberg, the majority of your destinations remain hidden in the parts-unknown.

On the second part of the trip, we also take you to the poetic and peaceful villages and floating community along the Red river to enrich your experiences about the contrast in harmony of life between the city and the countryside of Hanoi.
