5.00Louis was a phenomenal guide. We were debating between this and jeep tour but very glad we did this one as being able to cut through alleys and experience Hanoi on motorcycle was sweet. The hidden gem cafe was super cool, drivers were great, and our favorite part was talking to a seeing the home of an extraordinary Vietnamese grandfather who gave us perspective to his life in Hanoi.
A bike tour not to miss when in Hanoi

5.00Loved it! From start to finish it was full of adventure. Seven who was the group leader did an amazing job of coordinating and making sure we saw all of the sights promised. The first stop to gather the group was Hidden Gem Cafe and what a gem it was. Definitely one of the best egg coffees in town and fab, funky feel. The lunch was great too. Then off we went to some of the main sights in town, through the back alleys of Hanoi, visiting market places and local highlights. Amazing photo ops in the middle of the longest bridge right on the railway tracks. Sitting on train street was a particular favourite. Put a bottle top on the track before the train comes through if you want a momento for your scrap book. The riders were all very safe and this trip is highly recommended to anyone who wants to see a little more of Hanoi than you get on foot. Bravo Seven for fab comms before the trip started and to Huong who was my driver.

5.00I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hanoi, especially if it is your first time. Our tour guide, Five, was amazing and showed us how various groups of people in the city live, what they eat, and famous locations within their neighborhoods. He was extremely knowledgable, and hilarious. The food was EXCELLENT.
Highly recommended !

5.00Our motorcycle tour with the amazing Se7en and Winter was more than just sightseeing, it was a deep dive into the soul of the city. From iconic government buildings and the ever-popular Train Street to the quiet corners of local neighborhoods, every turn was a story. Even the torrential rain couldn’t dampen our spirits, it only added to the thrill. Our guides took such good care of us, making the whole ride feel safe, exciting, and unforgettable. The tour ended on a high note with a sumptuous lunch at Hidden Gem Café, a gem with a recycled interior aesthetic and seriously good food. Highly recommended — this is not just a tour, it’s an experience.
