What To Expect
At 8:00 am, your tour guide will pick you up and take you to our bicycle store where you can choose the perfect bike for your ride. After getting comfortable and a brief safety briefing, we will begin our journey. Our first stop will be crossing the Red River using the Long Bien bridge, which is over 100 years old and was built during French colonial times. From here, you can enjoy the magnificent view of the river, observe boats passing underneath, and witness the lush green vegetable farms on the island.
Dong Ahn
Our next destination is the picturesque banks of the Red River, where we can witness the stunning beauty of Vietnam's countryside and observe farmers cultivating their lands. We'll make a stop at a local family who specialize in creating intricate bonsai plants. Our knowledgeable guide will assist us with translation, allowing us to engage in conversation with the family and learn more about local daily life and traditions. We'll take a break at the scenic Lotus Lake, where we can quench our thirst with refreshing sugarcane juice or other local fresh drinks. Continuing on, we'll cycle through dirt roads and rural villages until we reach the ancient Co Loa Citadel. This citadel, built in 200 BC, is a symbol of Vietnam's tradition of establishing and defending the country against foreign invaders, specifically Thuc Phan An Duong Vuong. After that, we'll head to a local restaurant to enjoy the delicious cuisine that Hanoi has to offer.

Awesome ride around Hanoi and outskirts

5.00We love to bike, so we were searching for a tour that wasn’t just a superficial pedal around the block. This was awesome, a great way to see the outskirts and rural area around Hanoi, plus some of the city sights. Loved the combination of peaceful rural rice fields and back alleys versus the hectic city roads and chaos of Hanoi. We booked a group tour but turned out to be just the two of us so it felt like a private tour. Brian was our fun guide on the bike, and Lee and another man (who’s name I did not get) our soigneurs on the scooter always nearby with replacement water, tools and extra rear protection while crossing those big intersections. Brian was an informative and knowledgeable guide at our many stops, and him and Lee had good banter, kept us safe, and overall was just fun to be cruising around Hanoi with. Highly recommended. Thanks guys.

5.00This was such a great experience as a solo traveler exploring Hanoi. Dung (doo-ng) was a great guide and provided a lot of knowledge about the French Quarter and the countryside. This was a great daytime activity to enjoy the outdoors and get some excercise. The bikes used were great and they provided helmets for safety.
Best way to see Vietnam as locals experience life

5.00Amazing tour! Would highly recommend. Traveling by bike allows you to tour the alleys that a bus wouldn’t let you see - you can experience the true side of Vietnam 👍

Half day countryside bike tour & Afternoon scooter city tour

5.00Very nice bicycle tour. We did the half day in the country side and other half of the day in city on a scooter. We got to see vaste rice fields and visited the king and princess temple. In the city, we got to see the big west lake and the B-52 crash site pond. We also visited the war museum. It was a very hot sunny day, but we stayed hydrated with the free unlimited water given by the tour guide. We also got the chance to taste a variety of local Vietnamese dishes, which were all very tasty. The biking was fairly easy very flat terrain route and the ride was very safe with the guidance and security from the guides through the busier roads. Our tour guide, Dat, was really nice. He has a very good english and explained very well the history of the attractions we visited. I am writing this from the famous train street as we wait for the train to pass. Overall, it was a very nice day tour and I would definitely recommend any visitor to try it out, if you want a more personal and cultural visit of the city.
Such a wonderful adventurous day!

5.00One of the best experiences i’ve ever tried. Highly recommend it. My tour guide Perry was super friendly, he shared a lot of interest cultural and historical info. You’ll get to see a different side of Hanoi. From rice fields to having green tea with a Vietnamese family. Lunch the Vietnamese way, and ending it at the train street.

5.00Perry was an amazing and very thoughtful guide! This bike tour takes you all over Hanoi countryside and city, many places with no other tourists around. Berry included a lot of history and information along the way, and made sure we were comfortable the whole time. A most welcoming tour, 5 stars, A+, would repeat in a heartbeat!

5.00A day of cycling out to the countryside and back in and around Hanoi. Definitely tiring by the end of the day but very enjoyable to get out of Hanoi and see the countryside. Excellent guide with Perry too. Thoroughly recommend.
