Overview

Explore Hanoi in a fun and effortless way on the back of a vintage motorbike, with no riding experience required. Sit back and relax as your local driver takes you smoothly between the city’s highlights and hidden corners, helping you cover more ground in less time.

Ride through lively streets to iconic sights such as Hanoi Train Street, the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, and the Temple of Literature, while also discovering lesser-known spots that reveal everyday local life. Helmets and rain ponchos are provided for your comfort, and the small-group size (maximum eight guests) ensures a more personal and immersive experience.

This motorbike tour is an ideal way to experience the energy, culture, and contrasts of Hanoi without the stress of navigating the traffic yourself.
