Customizable itinerary
At 8.00am, your private guide will collect you at your hotel. You’ll take a short drive 1 hour (30 km) heading southwest of Hanoi to Thay Pagoda, located in a beautiful and tranquil village. Formally regarded as Thien Phuc Tu Pagoda, Thay Pagoda was built in the 11th century during the reign of King Ly. You will continue your sight-seeing drive to the Tay Phuong Pagoda. The present structure of this pagoda dates from the 18th century and is renowned for its impressive collection of wooden statues depicting the Buddha and other middle ranking Buddhist deities coated with lacquer paint. From here you’ll wind our way to Duong Lam Ancient Village.
After enjoying home-hosted lunch with a Vietnamese village family, you’ll start exploring Duong Lam Ancient village – a rich historical site with fascinating old houses, churches, and temple of the two famous Kings, Phung Hung and Ngo Quyen. Despite the passing of time, these old relics are still being well-preserved, having been lost for decades, before becoming one of the main attractions for tourists in the area. You’ll take a walk or ride the bicycle around this old village, meet the locals and experience their daily life.
Leaving the village, you will be picked up by your private driver again and transferred back to Hanoi. End of service.

Reviews on Our Service
Incredible Vietnam experience with Tony
Fantastic
Great company, great service
Amazing People and Great Service
We travelled for 7 weeks so the tour that we structured gave us a great mix of guided and free time. We were able to see the normal tourist sites, as well as spend some in-depth time in the villages and communities. This gave us a much greater insight into life in Vietnam and Cambodia. All I can say is that they are amazing and incredible people!
Our guides were great. Our drivers were safe and looked after us very well. I would not recommend anyone try driving on thier own if you are coming from a country where people obey the traffic laws. We learned over time that is is actully very organized chaos!
If you are looking for a great agency, we can assure you that Asia Pioneer cares about you and will look after you with every detail!
Thank you to Mr. Lam and the entire staff.
