Hanoi Motorbike Tour: Food, Culture and Fun by Vintage Motorbike

1.Hanoi Motorbike Tour: Food, Culture and Fun by Vintage Motorbike

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 6,699 reviews · from $55Our pick

Ride pillion through Hanoi’s alleys and landmark streets on a vintage motorbike, with a local driver and English-speaking guide. The four-and-a-half-hour tour includes Long Bien Bridge, Hanoi Train Street, food and drinks, and pickup in and around the Old Quarter. Guides may vary; past tours have been led by people such as Seven, Mason, Oggy and Louis.

“The tour was excellent. Oggy took us to see places we would not have found on our own. He was very knowledgeable, and my bike driver was super nice. The restaurant where Oggy took us had a very original style, but the food offered was not that good from my perspective.”

“Our flight was delayed but our drivers were very communicative and flexible on the schedule. It was our first time on a scooter. An Le and Linh were very cautious drivers made us feel very comfortable in the busy streets of Hanoi. The selection of restaurants was excellent! The food was very good and included some we never tried during our week in Vietnam. Our guide showed us the main attractions around the city and gave us recommendations for the next days on our trip. It was a GREAT experience. Must do tour if you want to feel and eat like a local.”

I asked the guide a few times if the tour would still be bearable and they kept saying it would, but I would argue that it should have been called off. So why did I rate it 5 stars? In terms of service, they were on time, and met us at the hotel so it was super convenient in the morning to get underway. The guide was super hospitable and…”
