What to expect

  1. Hanoi Train Street
    30m · Admission ticket included
    I'll take you to the famous Train Street of Hanoi. Grab a drink (beer or egg coffee) and watch as the train passes by, a once-in-a-lifetime experience unique to Hanoi.
  2. Long Bien Bridge
    15m · Admission ticket included
    Cross the legendary Long Bien Bridge – a historic symbol of Hanoi built over a century ago by the French. As you ride your motorbike across this iconic structure, enjoy panoramic views of the Red River, watch locals farming on the islets below, and feel the breeze of a bygone era still lingering in the air.
  3. Duờng Thanh Nien
    10m · Admission ticket included
    Ride along the picturesque Thanh Nien Street, where you'll pass between two iconic lakes – West Lake and Truc Bach Lake. This peaceful stretch holds a dramatic piece of history: it was near here that U.S. Senator John McCain’s fighter jet was shot down during the Vietnam War in 1967. A small monument marks the spot, offering a powerful glimpse into the city’s complex past.
  4. Huu Tiep Lake and the Downed B-52
    10m · Admission ticket included
    Hidden in a quiet Hanoi neighborhood lies Huu Tiep Lake – a small lake with a big story. Here, the wreckage of a U.S. B-52 bomber still rests partly above the water, a haunting reminder of the fierce Christmas Bombing campaign in 1972. Riding through the narrow alleyways to reach this site offers an authentic glimpse into local life and living history.
  5. Hanoi Opera House
    5m · Admission ticket included
    Admire the grandeur of the Hanoi Opera House – a stunning French colonial landmark built in 1911. As you ride past this elegant building, you’ll feel the charm of Hanoi’s colonial past blending with its vibrant modern energy. It's the perfect photo stop and a glimpse into the city’s artistic soul.
