About this tour
Explore Hanoi on a vintage motorbike with a local guide over 4.5 hours, hitting landmarks and backstreet pockets most visitors miss. You'll weave through bustling markets, slip into neighbourhood cafes, peek into family homes, and taste egg coffee whilst getting a feel for daily Hanoian life. The tour blends well-known sights with the ordinary corners where the city's character actually lives—temples tucked between shophouses, school playgrounds, local food stalls.

What to expect
You'll start with helmet and rain poncho fitted, then climb aboard a vintage bike with your guide steering through Hanoi's chaotic but navigable traffic. Expect to stop frequently—at a market where vendors sell everything from live poultry to silk, a temple with incense smoke curling from roof eaves, a family-run pho shop where locals queue at dawn. You'll walk narrow alleys, climb worn steps into people's homes, watch schoolchildren play in courtyards. The pace is relaxed; the guide pauses to explain what you're seeing rather than rushing you through. Bring moderate fitness for walking and climbing stairs.
