Itinerary
To kick off our Hanoi Street Food Motorbike Tour, we'll provide you with a safety briefing and a comprehensive itinerary of our journey. Our guide and drivers will meet you at your hotel to get started.
We will begin our journey by visiting a family-owned restaurant where locals claim the best steam rolled cake, Banh cuon, is served. The expert chef will demonstrate how the ingredients are skillfully combined. As we navigate through the old quarter, passing by shops selling colorful lanterns and decorations, we'll head towards the Red River to take in the stunning views of Hanoi city by night on both sides. We will then ride along narrow streets to reach Ngu xa village and try different variations of Pho and other delicious dishes.
Our team will take us on a ride to West Lake, where we can capture stunning night scape photos. We will also have the opportunity to witness a ceremonial event where guards march out to the sounds of ceremonious music to lower the flag at Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum. This event showcases the immense respect that locals have for this daily ritual.
Our Hanoi Street Food Motorbike Tours continue to the train track where locals carry out their daily activities, providing an amazing experience. Following this, we will explore a nearby neighborhood to sample various street foods and famous local delicacies such as pillow cake, Hanoi spring roll, and shrimp cake. To conclude our adventurous night, we will visit a local café to enjoy the famous local Egg Coffee. Sit back, relax, and savor the adventure!
The second part of our Hanoi By Night Foodie Motorbike Tours takes us to one of Hanoi’s most well-known family-run restaurants, where you will be able to sample Bun Cha ( grilled pork with vermicelli noodle). You’ll be taken on a journey to West Lake to soak in the nighttime landscape. A great place to witness the contrast between old and new Hanoi, with centuries-old picturesque areas on one side and modern skylines on the other. Before arriving in Ngu Xa village, sample freshly grilled fish and a variety of Hanoian versions of Pho, banana salads, and other classic Vietnamese delicacies.
The third step of our Hanoi By Night Foodie Motorbike Tours takes you through the Ho Chi Minh monument, where guards perform their nightly rites. Nothing portrays the Vietnamese veneration and holiness for Ho Chi Minh more than these nightly rites.
The last part of our Hanoi By Night Foodie Motorbike Tours concludes with a visit at a popular café to sample the famed Vietnamese egg coffee and a top secret dessert that you will only learn about if you come with us! Alternatively, we might eat a delicious Mango and Caramel Pudding dessert in a famous local hangout.

I would like to start off saying this tour was such a unique great experience for our first time in Hanoi. Being foodies ourselves, we got to have a taste on great food of the city. Emma our tour guide is well rounded when it came to Vietnam knowledge very well. She speaks English and Japanese. She made sure to accompany us in all the restaurant spots. Riding on a bike was so much fun and wasn’t scary at all. I recommend this tour to everyone. Emma and Hong knew how to drive a bike really well and I never felt in danger. Great time and experience and I definitely think you should do this!!!
Amazing way to experience Ha Noi! The food was so good and the value was unbeatable. Money and Aley were so friendly and took great care of us. We were so happy and would recommend this to everyone who visits.
Happy was a wonderful guide. Snow and Jay were amazing drivers. We never felt unsafe with their driving in the crazy Hanoi traffic. It was a joy to learn about Happy’s life in Vietnam as she also taught us about their native foods and how those change with the seasons. We absolutely recommend doing this tour and ask for Happy to be your guide, she’s amazing! Thank you so much for a memorable evening in Hanoi!
This experience was absolutely incredible. Happy took us around the city, we saw so many wonderful sights and got to experience beautiful food. One of the best parts of this tour, we went to restaurants we never would have experienced without her guidance. Happy was so fantastic, no question left unanswered, took photos of my partner and I, catered to our tastes (not a massive fan of coriander but love almost everything else!). Zooming around the city on the back of a Vespa has been a life changing. It's exhilarating and, in my opinion, the absolute best way to experience this wonderful city. If you don't book this tour, and you don't book Happy, you are seriously missing out on the best few hours you will ever have. Thank you Happy!!
Fantastic experience and way to see Hanoi come alive at night! We went to places and ate food that we would have never found on our own. Special thanks to our hosts Hoa Trang and Tuyet they were all so informative and were excellent riders in the crazy traffic!! I highly recommend 😊
Excellent afternoon out with Summi and team, 5 of us on bikes & they catered wonderfully for my mobility restricted father in law who needed a jeep. The food was all incredible & the drivers were all friendly and fun. We could have spent all day happily riding with the team! Thanks Summi for a 5 star experience 🤩
We had an incredible time on this food tour with our guides Hoa, Hang, Pineapple and Aly. We felt safe and secure the entire time, and had a wonderful experience riding through the streets of Hanoi and trying authentic local food. Very highly recommend!!!
The tour guide took as to several food stops and everything was great. Linh, together with the team, was very friendly and insightful about the whole trip. We had so much fun and went back to our hotel full and joyful. The food were all tasty and specifically chosen to feature and promote local and the traditional food in Vietnam. We loved the tour that we booked the city tour right the next day with Linh.
It was an amazing experience! All the tour guides were friendly; Lihn did an amazing job of explaining different elements of Vietnamese cuisine, keeping the mood light and happy and was very accommodating! I was on a motorbike with Genie who was fantastic at exposing Vietnamese life and was great to talk to! All the food we had was great and evidently top quality. After we also got a small film which was well recorded and showed memories of us and the food throughout the whole trip! I would totally recommend and would do again in a heartbeat!
Linh made this experience so much fun! I booked this while I’m traveling solo expecting it to be a large group (which it can be sometimes I think) but it was just me! She made the whole experience super fun and helped me get comfortable riding the back of a motor cycle for the first time! The food was delicious and a good variety of dishes and restaurants I would’ve never tried on my own. The highlight of my trip so far :) Linh is the best! Book this!
We went with Summi, she was very sweet and explained everything. If we had any questions or passed any interesting landmarks she explained and told us all the stories. I really recommend. She is amazing!!!!
Had an amazing time with Hanoi Motorbike Foodie Tours. Happy and Danna were fantastic - their local food knowledge was spot‑on, and every stop was delicious. I felt completely safe riding through Hanoi’s busy streets with them. Highly recommend this tour and these incredible women riders.
Really enjoyed this tour , did the night tour which included train street, and other iconic Vietnam sights. Staff were amazing, and knowledgeable. Would do this tour again .
We had an amazing experience on the Hanoi Motorbike Food Tour! Our main guide, Linh, and our driver, Hang, were both fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel completely safe riding through Hanoi’s busy streets. The food was outstanding. We got to try a great mix of traditional and modern Vietnamese dishes, and Linh did an excellent job explaining the history of each dish, the ingredients, and even the proper way to eat them. It made the experience so much more meaningful than simply going to restaurants on our own. Some of the highlights were visiting the famous Train Street, experiencing Hanoi at night from the back of a motorbike, and enjoying authentic Bún Chả at the same restaurant where President Obama and Anthony Bourdain famously shared a meal. We also loved trying foods we never would have ordered ourselves, and every stop was delicious. If you’re visiting Hanoi, this tour is an absolute must. The combination of incredible food, local culture, sightseeing, and the warmth of Linh and Hang made this one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend!

We had a fabulous evening on this tour with our wonderful guides Summi and Danna. They were both very friendly, knowledgeable and excellent riders! We felt very safe on the roads with them and learned a great deal about Hanoi as we travelled to the venues. We loved all the delicious food and had the best fun. Would highly recommend this tour and Summi and Danna to anyone.
Awesome motorbike food tour with Linh
We had an excellent food tour with our guides Happy and Pineapple! They picked us up at our hotel prior to 6pm with an extra motorcycle-driver who was there for safety and to help maneuver traffic. It was such fun to whiz around the streets of Hanoi and join in the motorcycle chaos that Vietnam is famous for! We did 5 stops and had Bahn cuon, Obama Bun Cha at the famous Bun cha buong lien, iced egg coffee at train street then to a proper dinner and the last stop was for iced desserts. Happy even recommended many places for us to go including a Bahn mi place which turned out better than Michelin-select Bahn mi 25. This food tour is the best way to spend your first night in Hanoi! Thank you for a great time Happy and Pineapple!
We had an absolutely delightful time on this tour. Happy was wonderful guide and we discussed many topics while eating delicious food at each stop. Tom and Ming are excellent drivers. We toured the city at night - weaving in and out of traffic. We would do this tour again🩷🩷🩷😃😃
I wanted to book a tour similar to this a few years back in Ho Chi Min, but ended up not doing so. I’m glad I did it in Hanoi. Happy was one of our guides and our main point of contact. My friends and I enjoyed every minute of our ride and basically it was the highlight of our trip! We enjoyed it so much we booked them for a second night in Hanoi and a third time in Ninh Binh. Happy also recommended a bunch of places to eat in Halong since we couldn’t book her for our final destination. All in all Happy exceeded our expectations and would definitely book her again and this company again.
Emma was great and so funny! I enjoyed my time with her and trying all the amazing food around Hanoi. Would definitely do it again.
The tour was wonderful. Our guide and drivers were all phenomenal. They are so knowledgeable about the history and gave us a lot of insight. The places we went were stunning. Seeing Hanoi in motorcycles is definitely worth the trip! We finally had the chance to experience the 50/50 life experience lol
My family had the best time, we went to eat at places we would never have gone. Local specialities and a crazy ride on the bikes, going through the crazy streets. Was so much fun. The guides were all amazing. 10/10
Awesome experience on the food tour. Happy, our guide, took the time to get to know us. We already had bun cha earlier in the day so she took us to get another dish that we hadn’t tried before. Every place we went to was delicious and we tried dishes we would not have known to try on our own. Every place was also packed with locals so truly very high quality. The motorbike ride was fun and we got to see the city by night. I think this is a great way to start off your visit in Ha Noi!
Huyen and her group were the best tour group we have had in Vietnam and I cant give a better recommendation! They were very well organized and even had backrests on their scooters for my family. Little details like these were always accounted for with these expert tour guides. The actual tour was filled with tons of information and the perfect amount of food. You will not regret booking this tour.
This is so well planned and organized, the best scooter tour we’ve been on so far! The main tour guide was super knowledgeable, but the individual drivers also knew so much about the city as well. Duyen was so kind and helpful and I felt very safe riding around with her. The food was amazing, and they even took photos and videos for us. Highly recommend taking this tour if you’re considering it!
Such a fun way to eat your way through Hanoi! We had a group of 8. My wife and I, our two 20ish sons and my sister, her husband with her 20ish kids. The girls that drove us around were all cute college girls, that spoke a decent amount of English; much more than my meager vietnamese. We zipped around the city, with the girls pointing out sites of interest, while we asked about the city and culture. We had 5 food stops, each delicious! Our guide, Huyen talked about the history of the food that we were eating and also explained how to eat each dish. While each of the stops was memorable, two were distinct, the Bun Cha where Anthony Bourdain and President Obama broke bread and where they memorialized the plates/bowl/chopsticks used and the train street with all the tik tok videos. Trang, my driver was an adorable college tourism major. She kept me safe, expertly zipping through the hustle and bustle of Hanoi. Overall experience.... 10/10! Wait! It got even better. We had 2 college boys who were traveling with us. They had been blocking traffic for us and taking videos. At the end of the tour they presented us with a professional looking compilation video of our experience... Free of charge!
Happy was an exceptional tour guide. She was attentive to our dietary restrictions and preferences. A great interlocutor, we’d highly recommend having her as a lead to all our friends. We wanted a true Ha Noi experience and this was it. Our other driver, Mai was also excellent. They made a great team.
We've done this tour with some friends a year ago, had to redo with husband's as could not fault, informative safe fabulous drivers, amazing food...great vibe
Simone and Emma were fun, knowledgeable locals who shared a ton of great info on different neighbourhoods and local specialties in Hanoi. What a great intro to a new area and fun way to try some new treats. They were very good drivers and it was so much fun to cruise around with them and ask all of our nerdy questions about different sights and new foods to try, etc. We were glad we went on the tour quite hungry because there was a lot of food. Checking out the train bridges and Banana Island were a nice break from the business and some good exercise between stops. I highly recommend this food tour.
We really loved the Vespa food tour with our guides Summi, Kai and Tom. They told us all about the different foods, and we loved how the tour worked through a full day of meals. It felt really authentic! Our guides made us feel very welcome and told us about the daily life in Vietnam. Bonus points for safe driving!⭐️
We had an amazing time. Great tour safe drivers. Amazing food and Linh our guide was so kind funny and informative. A must do experience.
I’d definitely give it 5 stars – and even more (mat be 1000 ?!?). We were with Summi, Joyce and Hung – a dream team. The scooter ride was simply magical; we were immersed in the ‘real life’ of the Vietnamese people. We went to restaurants we wouldn’t have visited on our own, and we enjoyed delicious dishes, thanks to Summi’s expert advice (it’s not enough just to choose the dishes; you also need to know how to combine the ingredients!). Of course, we had an egg coffee whilst watching the train go by. Summi, Joyce and Hung were lovely – cool, friendly and professional all at once. Summi has a radiant personality and I’m sure she has a bright future ahead of her. Vietnam is lucky to have such wonderful people! I can’t photos, the wifi ils not good enough…
We had the best experience with Happy and Hang! They were super informative on the food culture and about the history of Vietnam. All the places they took us to were amazing! Highly recommend! The best way to see more of Hanoi is on the back of Happy and Hang’s bikes!
Happy and Duyên were absolutely wonderful!! At no time did my daughter or I feel unsafe as we zipped through the traffic and back streets. They made the trip very enjoyable and provided a lot of interesting facts about Vietnam and their culture. The food was absolutely delicious and we tried many new foods. It was interesting to see yge ceremony for taking down the flag and an absolutely unique experience going to train street!! Definitely recommend this tour and we would not hesitate to do it again as we enjoyed it soooo much. Thank you Happy and Duyên 🫶🏻
This night biking food tour with well was perfect, u discover real Hanoi local food as well as Hanoi must seen places. Emma was really nice and shared a lot about the real life in Hanoi. Thanks a lot I recommend this to anyone coming to Hanoi !
This was my third food tour in Vietnam and hands down the best one yet! My husband Chris and I did the evening motorcycle tour last night and it was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Sunny, Melanie, and Ally were phenomenal — knowledgeable, warm, funny, and genuinely passionate about Hanoi's food scene. We felt completely safe the whole time and totally taken care of. The food stops were perfectly chosen — authentic, delicious, and exactly the kind of local experience you can't find on your own. The vibe of cruising through Hanoi at night on the back of a motorbike with great guides made it genuinely special. If you're visiting Hanoi, do not skip this. Highly, highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We had an amazing experience on the Hanoi Motorbike Food Tour with Mai and Emma as our guides. It was important to us to support a woman-led tour, and they made the experience truly special. They picked us up from our hotel early and tailored the tour to our dietary needs and our bucket-list wish of seeing the train pass by on Train Street. Along the way, they shared fascinating insights about Hanoi’s dining traditions and culture. Riding the motorbikes was so much fun, and we felt safe the entire time. The tour ran from 6 PM to just after 9 PM, perfect timing for us, and included five stops. We finished with a fantastic coconut ice cream dessert per my request and it was so delicious! Mai and Emma had so much personality! They are smart, kind, and personable, making the whole evening even more memorable. Highly recommend this tour!

What a fantastic experience - every bit of it! Riding in the back of motorbikes through the crazy, crazy traffic! Tasting food representing local dishes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and desert with a fabulous surprise of a drink at train street watching the train go by inches from us! A great introduction giving us a better understanding of the food, the tastes and how to eat it. Our guide and driver Summi, driver Thu were very informative, and Hieu was an excellent and friendly support driver. We highly recommend this tour!
Sooooo fun! Everyone should do this food tour! The food was fantastic and safe for Americans to eat!!! What a fun way to experience Hanoi! The drivers & guides are amazing!
The perfect way to start your Vietnam holiday! Such a fun and exciting way to see Hanoi and sample the amazing food on offer. Summi, Hang, Thu, Phong and Minh were amazing guides. Our kids loved the whole experience and we felt safe throughout. Thank you!
What a fantastic way to experience and taste Hanoi, including some hidden gems outside the Old Quarter! Felt safe and taken care of throughout, and really enjoyed learning about north Vietnam cuisine and history from Summi and her team. 10/10 would do again.
Summi and Happy were amazing guides. So funny and charming! Summi shared her knowledge of all the delicious food with fun details about each place.
100 stars! Summi, Happy and Minh Hieu were the friendliest, funniest and most charming guides. The food was sensational but our guides and zipping through traffic made the experience over the top! If you have the opportunity to do this tour, DO IT. DO IT! You won't regret it.
This is such a fantastic way to see and taste Hanoi! We had such a great time and felt totally safe and so well cared for by Happy, Hang and Hung. The first thing Happy asked when they picked us up at our hotel was where we had been so far in Hanoi so she could pick places we hadn’t been and anything we wanted to try. You simply must do this when you’re in Hanoi.
The tour was fantastic!! Perfect for a quick drive through the city and sightseeing all the locations!! Lots of delicious food both for the comfortable person and for the adventurer! The guide Hoa, and the drivers Lily and Giang did a fantastic job! Always felt safe, fun drive around the city, very knowledgeable! Would recommend this tour to every person that visits Hanoi!
Emma came to pick me up at the hotel a bit before the scheduled time. The foods were fantastic and authentic. The trip to the train street was full of fun. I had a local beer and took a lot of pictures. We had a great dessert before she took me back to the hotel. Enjoyed it so much and I'll definitely recommend her and your company to all my friends and relatives
Had an awesome experience with my guide Happy! It was a great way to see different places and try lots of interesting food. I would definitely recommend it!
