Itinerary
Part 1: Hanoi Highlights: (2 hours) You will be greeted by the tour guide and driver at your hotel lobby we then ride to Ho Chi Minh Complex to have a quick visit to Ho chi Minh mausoleum – the Mecca of Vietnamese, Ba Dinh square, Presidential Palace, Ho Chi Minh Residential area and One Pillar Pagoda.
After Ho Chi Minh Complex, we move to Temple Of Literature, a 1000 year-old iconic architecture of Hanoi to learn about Vietnamese long-standing culture and history.
Despite the famous TRAIN STREET of Hanoi recently has been CLOSED by the local government, we know exactly HOW, WHEN & WHERE to take you there to wait for and capture the fun moments of the day by sitting by the train street cafe and watching the train passing by. We guarantee that TRAIN STREET is a part of our trip.
Part 2: Hanoi Hidden Gems: (2,5 hours) Explore the parts-unknown of Hanoi by riding through the maze of zigzagging backstreet and narrow alleyways and markets. Diving into the rivers of motorbikes and Hanoi street symphony. Traveling with all your senses heightened: Watching, Hearing, Touching, Tasting and smiling. Experiencing the GOOD, the BAD, and the WEIRD of the city as it is what it is. Experiencing different slides of life behind the scene, the hidden part of the iceberg. Meeting people where they live, work, learn and pray. Building personal connections and culture exchanges. *Note: Hai Ba Trung Temple is the area where we visit, so you could easily get the idea about the part of Hanoi that we visit, NOT necessary to come in more Temple on the trip.
Long Biên Bridge is the oldest iron bridge in Vietnam, built in 1889 by French colonial, was imbued with national identity even though it was a modern architectural heritage at that time, as the French gave it the shape that resembles a dragon flying over the Red River, which is associated with the cultural symbol of Hà Nội. A short walk here gives you a great angle of Hanoi for photos and we also take you to the countryside of Hanoi to explore the peaceful and tranquil villages and farms around the city.
A quaint little coffee shop in the heart of Hanoi Old Quarter. All furniture is creatively made from cycled materials. Serving authentic & organic Vietnamese coffee and drinks. It is a truly hidden gem of Hanoi where we chill out and have best egg coffee before riding back to the hotel.

A wonderful, relaxing day filled with history and culture. Lewis and the driver, Xuan, were very friendly and easygoing. We explored many of Hanoi's famous landmarks. It was a great trip!!!
Louis and Quang guided us on a safe and professional tour of Hanoi, introducing us to attractions from the lake, museums, markets, and various other areas, while also providing very useful information on history, culture, and contemporary issues.
A great way to explore the city and learn about the locals. Louis and his group were fantastic. The pace of the trip was just right. The city really comes alive at night. The tour of the alleyways was amazing.
This trip was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Louis and Dong did a great job. We learned so much, saw so much, ate so much food, and ended up getting soaked a lot! 😄 I highly recommend this experience. I loved the motorbike ride, the food, and the amazing guides.
Johnny and Cham were excellent guides and made us feel very safe on their bikes! Johnny was so knowledgeable about Vietnamese history and culture. This felt like an amazing way to get to know the city.
It was an AMAZING way to see lots of Hanoi in one day. Johnny was incredibly knowledgeable and Cham was a wonderful driver. We felt very safe and were able to ask lots of questions to learn about the history of Hanoi!
We booked the 2.5 Hour vintage motorbike tour and had the best time with Mason and Manh! This is such a cool unique experience and our guides really made sure we got the most out of the sites/attractions. Also gives you an opportunity to see a lot of the “tourist must see spots” without having to organise yourself and spend days getting around to them all. Really appreciate that we had so many little things included (like drinks at train street, ice cream at the lake and egg coffee at the end) that they paid for and didn’t make us feel like we had to spend any extra money anywhere. I felt very safe on the back of the motorbike and you can tell both Mason and Manh knew the roads so well which made the experience so easy as I could just sit and watch everything from the back without getting stressed about the chaos of Hanoi roads! Going through the backstreets was such a highlight of our time in Hanoi so thank you Mason and Manh :)
Johnny was a great guide, very safe riding, incredibly informative, fun to be around. Would very much recommended this
Louis was a great tour guide. My wife and I had an amazing and memorable time during the tour. He was very funny, hospitable, and gave us an awesome memory.
