Exploring Hanoi Highlights & Hanoi Old Quarter on a Vespa is an extremely unique experience for travelers when staying in Hanoi. You will be picked up at your hotel by your local guide. A briefing will be given from the guide before hopping on the back of your Vespa and hitting the journey of your lifetime. Riding through small bustling streets, narrow alleyways of the Old Quarter, you will have many opportunities to capture interesting photos of typical old streets such as: Nha Tho, Lo Ren, Lan Ong, Hang Ma, Hang Bac ...Stop and take a quick tour of some typical areas in the old town such as Central Cathedral, Hanoi Opera House, Dong Xuan market, Long Bien bridge, Hang Be market…. Among the rides, you will make many stops to try the typical different street foods of Hanoi that hidden in the corners of small alleys such as: Bun Cha (grilled pork with noodle), Banh Goi (Pillow cake), Banh Tom (Shrimp cake), Bia Hoi Hanoi (Hanoi fresh beer)...
You will have a chance to learn how to make the city's signature drink, Hanoi egg coffee and enjoy it before heading to experience Hanoi Train Street. Hundred years old rail tracks running through the heart of Hanoi’s old town have recently become an interesting attractions – Hanoi train street, for travelers to Hanoi, especially foreigners. Sitting at a coffee place along the railway, watching the lives of local people, though potentially dangerous, still makes many curious visitors want to experience.
Stop and visit the main attractions of the city: Hoa Lo (Hilton) prison and Temple of Literature *Temple of Literature – Vietnam’s First University: Nestled in the heart of Hanoi, the Temple of Literature is a symbol of Vietnam’s rich intellectual and cultural heritage. Originally built in 1070 to honor Confucius, it later became Vietnam’s first national university, educating generations of scholars and mandarins. With its tranquil courtyards, ancient stone steles, and traditional Vietnamese architecture, the temple offers a peaceful retreat from the city's hustle while providing a fascinating glimpse into the country’s scholarly past.
Stop and visit the main attractions of the city: Hoa Lo (Hilton) prison and Temple of Literature *Hoa Lo Prison – A Haunting Glimpse into Vietnam’s Past: Located in the heart of Hanoi, Hoa Lo Prison, often referred to as the “Hanoi Hilton,” offers a powerful and sobering look into Vietnam’s turbulent history. Originally built by the French in the late 19th century to detain Vietnamese political prisoners, it later held American POWs during the Vietnam War. Today, the museum preserves chilling remnants of its past — from dark cells and iron shackles to personal stories of resilience and resistance. A visit to Hoa Lo is both moving and thought-provoking, shedding light on the struggles and strength of those who endured within its walls.
Tour will end at your hotel. *Note: Depending on the departure time of the tour (Morning or Afternoon), the arrangement of all the visits will be flexible to suit the best experience for your tour.

Amazing morning exploring all the main sites of Hanoi. Vespa is the perfect way to get around. Fun, exciting with many very interesting visits. Was super organised and moved easily from site to site. Gina our guide was excellent - very knowledgeable and informative. Highly recommend.
Sam was a wonderfully safe and informative guide. The trip was very interesting and a great way to travel around Hanoi. Thank you Sam
Don’t let age or anxiety put you off! Vespa’s are so much fun and definitely the way to get around, see the sights and feel the vibe of Hanoi. I went with my 80yo family members- they had no problems and felt safer in the back of the bikes with our very skilled drivers, than they did walking. Sam, Tom and the other drivers had really great english, were chatty and polite. We got to see the major sights, and taste delicious chicken Pho, sit trackside on train street, and try delicious egg coffee. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough.
Nick was incredible. Took me all over the city and showed me the highlights and then some. Great overall exposure to the city.
Gina and Anna were fantastic guides. Safe, friendly, and fun! They took us 4 incredible places we wouldn't have found on our own. Highly recommend this tour
Such an amazing tour with our tour guide Linh and our drivers Truong , Chien . They are very informative, friendly compassionate, they bring me to all the highlight of the pottery village how people live what is the meaning of the drinking tea in Vietnamese culture and why they have a lot of version of teapot teacup like Highly recommend this kind of tour with Linh and Truong
Great authentic local experience - highly recommend! Tin was a fantastic knowledgeable English-speaking guide who gave us a comprehensive tour of the prison, took us to the best local food and drink spots (tailored to our preferences) and the lively train street! Very fun and delicious day out and felt very safe with each of the guides on the back of the Vespas!

Darcy took me on a motorbike tour around Hanoi today. Her driving and english skills are excellent. She has great knowledge of the history of this beautiful city. It was very very hot today and she made sure I was well hydrated. She took me to lunch and the Train street was fun 🥰. Thankyou Darcy 10 stars out of 10.
We had an amazing experience! Sam, Nghia, and Mai were fantastic tour guides—knowledgeable, friendly, and full of enthusiasm for the city. They tailored the tour based on our interests, making the experience feel personal and flexible. A delightful surprise was the sweet taste of egg coffee they introduced us to—it was a real treat! They also took us to a lovely spot for lunch, and their passion for the city truly made our tour memorable. Highly recommended!
The vespa tour was a fun way to experience Hanoi. The whole family enjoyed the tour very much. Steve and him team took care of us and did a great job showing us all the must see spots.
The tour with Rose was excellent! She was very knowledgeable about everything on the tour and made sure we were comfortable with the food and the motorbike ride. I especially appreciated the details about the historical sites, Rose had an answer to every question I had about the history and also Vietnamese culture. Would highly recommend this Vespa tour to anyone visiting Hanoi!
Rose was very knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. The tour gave us a lot of intimate information about Hanoi and a great introduction to the city!
We booked the 4-hour excursion, which was super fun on the scooters. The food was delicious, and the tour guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. They guided us through history and watched the trains, which allowed me to relax a bit. They even took photos for us so we didn’t have to. Thanks Giap and Nghia for the great tour
The tour was very informative and fun! Our family of four enjoyed every minute of it enjoying the sights and sounds of Hanoi while riding on Vespa motorbikes. All the street food and Bun Cha were all good. All the motorbike drivers were friendly and cool. We definitely recommend this tour for a real cultural experience.
I've got the best driver in Hanoi, he speaks so well, very informative. He knows what he's saying and very considerate. I highly recommend him.😊🥰
This was a fantastic tour. We visited many sites around Hanoi and tasted street food and local drinks. Our tour guides were lovely and knowledgeable. We highly recommend this tour.
