What to expect

Travel 130 kilometres away from Hanoi and discover the quaint rural district of Mai Chau in Hoa Binh province. The village is well-known among visitors for its stilt houses or pile dwellings, made of bamboo and timber. The houses are elevated up to 12 feet above the ground to avoid water damage, protecting its residents from the harsh elements. The village is surrounded by green rice fields, valleys and hills and this lets you fully indulge in the natural beauty of Vietnamese countryside. Travel along Thung Khe Pass, bike through rice paddy fields and lunch with the White Thai ethnic group. Led by a professional English speaking guide, this tour is a great day trip from Hanoi to discover rural life and expansive nature

Review for: Join-in Tour from Ha Noi

The travel time is long due to the distance, but the scenery is beautiful, so it's okay. The first rest stop also has good views, but the second rest stop has the best views. After arriving in Mai Chau, the lunch is excellent. It was delicious. The scenery is very beautiful when cycling for about 2 hours. A suggestion would be to stop at a pretty cafe in the middle of the ride. Overall, very satisfied for the price.

Review for: Join-in Tour from Ha Noi

We had a nice short 1-day trip. Cycling next to rice field, our tour guide Dong explained the culture of ethnic Thai people, agriculture, hunting & other livelihood. The food was good and fresh. The toilets, dining area and in general everything was clean.

Informative guide. Comfortable ride with two stops and the bus was on time for pick up. Lunch had enough options for vegetarians and vegans. I would recommend staying a night. I found it a short stay to admire the whole village.

The tour guide is very good. Although the drive is a bit long, the scenery is beautiful. It is recommended to stay in the resort for 2 days.

7:20~12:00 There are two breaks on the way there. One for the toilet and one for Mai Chau View. Travel time is about 4 hours. After that, we have lunch. The local food is delicious. 12:40~15:30 Cycling. I enjoyed it quite a bit. 15:30~19:15 Returning, we were dropped off near Hanoi Station.

Review for: Join-in Tour from Ha Noi

It's a great trip into the mountain towns and rice fields. I feel the stops could have been more interesting such as a cute temple I saw on the way. The bike tour was OK. But wrong sort of bikes for the terrain. Mountain bikes would be better. Overall good value for money but only myself and a few others on the tour so a nice small group. Lunch was very good at a local home stay.

Review for: ทัวร์เมืองมายโจ๋วในหนึ่งวัน

Is a city similar to Sapa Going during the new year is quite cool. If other seasons are probably hot But not worth seeing, see this section The only activities available are cycling, which the leg can not ride, while other tour groups can ride a golf cart to see the city. If going alone, have to pay 300k extra. Pickle. Poor. This cute guide is very attentive.

Review for: Join-in Tour from Ha Noi

It was a 3 hour drive from Hanoi Old Quarter, with two breaks along the way, and then we cycled for about 2 hours after lunch. The car was about 15 minutes late when we met up, but other than that there were no particular issues and it was very good. The guide had good English pronunciation and was easy to understand.

Review for: 마이쩌우 일일 투어

It's already been 3 years. A day in the secluded countryside of Mai Chau was able to fully feel the atmosphere of a Vietnamese village. From pickup in front of the hotel to arrival and all parts of the program were good.

Review for: Day Trip To Mai Chau

Son enjoyed the biking and food. Apart from the lunch being in the lodge and not with an ethnic family, photo being deceptive as there was no rice terrace, bike guide disappearing at one stage with half the group not knowing which way to turn and a coach driver who had 6 hours of incessant horn usage while what must have been an audition for the Williams F1 team for the coming Hanoi GP it wasn't a bad day out......at least i got my packs of coffee at the rest stop!
