Mai Chau day trip

Fantastic day trip from Hanoi that gave a great insight into village life. The day was a good mix of morning walk and afternoon bicycle ride, with lunch at a host family house. Our guide Binh was so good at changing the pace to match our interest and gave valuable insight into village life. This trip was a great compliment and good contrast to the usual Ninh Binh/Ha Long bay.
