Taking this tour is a fun way to experience the sights, smells and tastes of Hanoi. And definitely, the best way to see and learn about the real Hanoi not just the run-off-the-mill tourist sites.
We would journey you to so many parts of Hanoi that you would not otherwise see and even imagine about, from the maze of zigzagging backstreets, hectic traffic, old French boulevards to the off-roads along the Red river as well as tasting the most delicious dishes of the delicious dishes that Hanoi offers you.
Also, we pass by most of the famous city’s landmarks.

I loved every second of this tour. My driver Snow was very professional, and protective of me on the back of the bike, and our leader Kai was a wealth of interesting insights, information, and humor. The tour is an amazing introduction to the city - we saw everything from grand boulevards and shopping streets to tiny residential alleys and businesses, open air markets, huge government buildings, the train street complete with train, and wild amounts of life and activity everywhere. I can get, let's say, restless on a tour, but not this one. When I said I felt like I was in a movie, Snow says "Like James Bond, right?" which was it exactly. We ended with a delicious lunch at what may be the coolest cafe I have ever seen, "The Hidden Gem Cafe". Our group's ages range from 13 to 57, and we all want to do this tour again tomorrow. Do not miss it.

This was such a cool way to zip around the city! Our drivers Andy and Five were great at navigating the busy Hanoi streets and taught us a lot about the history of Hanoi and Vietnam in general. We also ate some great food. FYI, you are definitely up close and personal with your drivers on these vintage motorbikes as compared to the modern scooters you see everywhere, so just be aware of that and don’t wear a backpack to give yourself a bit more room between yourself and the driver (since there is a storage bin on the back that prevents you from moving further backwards). But this was truly one of the coolest things I’ve ever done and made my 40th birthday so special. 10/10 recommend!
