Background
Conducted in the form of a green walking tour with all activities scheduled for the morning, participants are required to get to the starting point by environmentally friendly means of transport, walking, cycling or taking public bus. There will be two hours of pleasant walk through many selected vibrant streets of Hanoi with new friends exploring life, tasting foods, learning local architecture and traditional crafts, having fun shopping, taking photos and more. The walk finishes at a park with team presentations on assigned subjects, team building activities, music performances by participants coupled with soft drink and snacks…
We believe familiar things would turn out to be fresh and amazingly interesting as you walk and we are hopeful of a day we can truly live the city life without cars and motorbikes.
