Great tour: we took this at 8am after arriving in Hanoi the night before and it was a brilliant introduction to the city. I was a bit nervous as I’m not very adventurous but Mason was empathetic. I felt very safe even when it started pouring with rain and Mason and team supplied us with ponchos. Very informative, knew all the back streets, interesting chat about Vietnamese history and culture and had a laugh too. Five stars.. thank you!

Itinerary
Part 1: Hanoi Highlights: (2 hours) You will be greeted by the tour guide and driver at your hotel lobby we then ride to Ho Chi Minh Complex to have a quick visit to Ho chi Minh mausoleum – the Mecca of Vietnamese, Ba Dinh square, Presidential Palace, Ho Chi Minh Residential area and One Pillar Pagoda.
After Ho Chi Minh Complex, we move to Temple Of Literature, a 1000 year-old iconic architecture of Hanoi to learn about Vietnamese long-standing culture and history.
Despite the famous TRAIN STREET of Hanoi recently has been CLOSED by the local government, we know exactly HOW, WHEN & WHERE to take you there to wait for and capture the fun moments of the day by sitting by the train street cafe and watching the train passing by. We guarantee that TRAIN STREET is a part of our trip.
Part 2: Hanoi Hidden Gems: (2,5 hours) Explore the parts-unknown of Hanoi by riding through the maze of zigzagging backstreet and narrow alleyways and markets. Diving into the rivers of motorbikes and Hanoi street symphony. Traveling with all your senses heightened: Watching, Hearing, Touching, Tasting and smiling. Experiencing the GOOD, the BAD, and the WEIRD of the city as it is what it is. Experiencing different slides of life behind the scene, the hidden part of the iceberg. Meeting people where they live, work, learn and pray. Building personal connections and culture exchanges. *Note: Hai Ba Trung Temple is the area where we visit, so you could easily get the idea about the part of Hanoi that we visit, NOT necessary to come in more Temple on the trip.
Long Biên Bridge is the oldest iron bridge in Vietnam, built in 1889 by French colonial, was imbued with national identity even though it was a modern architectural heritage at that time, as the French gave it the shape that resembles a dragon flying over the Red River, which is associated with the cultural symbol of Hà Nội. A short walk here gives you a great angle of Hanoi for photos and we also take you to the countryside of Hanoi to explore the peaceful and tranquil villages and farms around the city.
A quaint little coffee shop in the heart of Hanoi Old Quarter. All furniture is creatively made from cycled materials. Serving authentic & organic Vietnamese coffee and drinks. It is a truly hidden gem of Hanoi where we chill out and have best egg coffee before riding back to the hotel.

Our tour guide Tuna did an amazing job. I had a wild and crazy ride with Quang he did a marvellous job (thank goodness I did not have to drive). Really, really enjoyed the whole experience. Plus the food and the end was top quality. two thumbs up.
We had the best day with the best drivers and guide. Johnny met us at the hotel and we were introduced to our drivers. My driver was Sean. He was very experienced and safe. We did a whole tour of the city. Not once did we split up from each other. I would highly recommend this tour to anybody on their first days in Hanoi to get a good view of the city where to go and what to do.
Our tour was led by Johnny and he was amazing. Both drivers were very kind and accommodating and made us feel very safe on the trip. Was very fun and Johnny was super well spoken and very knowledgeable about all topics. Best way to see Hanoi for sure. We saw everything we wanted to and now have a much better knowledge of the city. Very generous providing cold water and beverages on the way. Highly recommend to anyone coming to Hanoi to book this experience!
Such an excellent tour. So well thought out, thorough and fun. Felt super safe. Guide (Johnny) was very knowledgeable and friendly. Literally couldn’t recommend it more, I reckon it’s the best way to see Hanoi!
Johnny and Cham were excellent guides and made us feel very safe on their bikes! Johnny was so knowledgeable about Vietnamese history and culture. This felt like an amazing way to get to know the city.
It was an AMAZING way to see lots of Hanoi in one day. Johnny was incredibly knowledgeable and Cham was a wonderful driver. We felt very safe and were able to ask lots of questions to learn about the history of Hanoi!
We booked the 2.5 Hour vintage motorbike tour and had the best time with Mason and Manh! This is such a cool unique experience and our guides really made sure we got the most out of the sites/attractions. Also gives you an opportunity to see a lot of the “tourist must see spots” without having to organise yourself and spend days getting around to them all. Really appreciate that we had so many little things included (like drinks at train street, ice cream at the lake and egg coffee at the end) that they paid for and didn’t make us feel like we had to spend any extra money anywhere. I felt very safe on the back of the motorbike and you can tell both Mason and Manh knew the roads so well which made the experience so easy as I could just sit and watch everything from the back without getting stressed about the chaos of Hanoi roads! Going through the backstreets was such a highlight of our time in Hanoi so thank you Mason and Manh :)
Johnny was a great guide, very safe riding, incredibly informative, fun to be around. Would very much recommended this
Louis was a great tour guide. My wife and I had an amazing and memorable time during the tour. He was very funny, hospitable, and gave us an awesome memory.
Great tour i went for the evening it was really beautiful. The view were stunning. Our tour guide Tuna was very helpful and provided such a great experience,with unique detours and answers for all our questions. He showed us the different facets of live in hanoi
Tuna was an amazing guide. Him and his driver showed us many Interesting parts of Hanoi, including the “real” Hanoi. He is friendly, kind and answered all of our questions.
Tuna was a wonderful knowledgeable tour guide! He is a great communicator and coordinated clearly with us before the tour to make sure everything went smoothly. I truly enjoy his sweet demeanor and is very accommodating. My driver Snow was super friendly and just a badass! I felt super safe and loved her as my guide. I got to know her life in Hanoi and learned so much about her hometown. As a Vietnamese-American, I loved that they really showed us local places!!!!
Tuna and Quang were wonderful. Friendly and knowledgeable. We got to see parts of Hanoi that tourists don’t usually visit. I highly recommend this tour if you’re looking for something a little different.
Worth every minute. Tuna was lovely. D was my driver :) Hanoi is a really overwhelming city, this tour makes it easy and stress free - but also authentic. You can see the real city.
What an amazing tour, friendly, informative, so much to see and do - highly recommend to anyone

Our tour guide named Tuna and his team were wonderful! We enjoyed the experience. A very unique way to see the beauty of Hanoi.
Awesome experience and a unique way to explore Hanoi! Highly recommend. Thank you Tuna and Mountain for an amazing tour.
Fantastic experience on motorcycles with fun riders. A great way to see parts of the City you may not see on your own and a fun way to experience what it is really like to ride through the City streets on a motorbike. The tour guide Tuna was great as was Ken, my driver. Highly recommend this tour.
The most fun and exciting tour that I ever attended . My driver Mike was super nice and attentive, well knowledgeable of the city. Excellent riding skills with the motorbike especially maneuvering through small alleys in the city. The tour guy Tuna was super nice, I have learned a lot about the city.
This city tour on motorbike is really the best way to get around the city. The tour guide is really friendly and my driver is super sweet and made sure it is safe for me. And the food at the end is grest at a unique atmosphere restaurant. Highly recommended for everyone.
Such a wonderful, fun, exciting tour with our tour guide Tuna and his group. Highly recommend this trip while in Hanoi. 🫶
Very friendly and skilled motorcycle drivers. Tuna, the lead guide was welcoming and informative. We all loved the experience. Thank you!
Tuna is very great tour guide. Every body should ask for Tuna. Highly recommended! He had great knowledge of of the city and was so nice to all of us!
We came with friends to see the snake. We discovered many dishes that were very good. We also visited a market and finished our visit with a coffee. The experience was great, you can go there without hesitation. With Tuna
We had the bast day on this tour. I highly recommend it. If you have time to do only one thing while visiting Hanoi do this motorbike tour. A special thanks to Tuna and Nui for their expert driving, their kindness and their care. We had a great day.
Great first day in Hanoi and a vintage motorbike tour with Tuna, Loi and ‘D’. What an experience ! From the crazy busy streets to tiny backstreets, to seeing some of the other monuments and famous landmarks the drivers were friendly, knowledgeable and more than anything amazing navigators in the madness of the roads. For someone who has never been on a bike it was quite an initiation! Tuna was excellent and when the skies opened just flexed the order so we didn’t get soaked. Highly recommend .
Had the best time with Tuna, D and Loi. Super informative guide both on history, politics, economics but also just day to day Vietnamese life. It’s the perfect way to explore Hanoi, get out of the touristy areas, and see the true city. The food at the end was also delicious !
Rrqlly nice tour. Amazing guides and very friendly, especially Chesse & Tuna! טיול מעולה, שווה מאוד, מדריכים סופר נחמדים!
Amazing! What an authentic experience, tour guide was so helpful and patient with all our questions! Tuna was just GREAT! Andy my driver was also such a great navigator and so super friendly!
Tuna was my driver and our tour guide were wonderful. I saw parts of Hanoi I never would have seen and felt like a local. I would definitely recommend.
Tuna and August were phenomenal tour guides and drivers, highly recommend for anyone visiting hanoi and looking to see the sites of the city
Our scooter tour through Hanoi with Tuna and his colleagues was an unforgettable experience. Riding through the lively streets gave an authentic glimpse into everyday life, from bustling markets to hidden corners of the city. Tuna and the team were friendly, professional, and knowledgeable, making the tour both fun and informative. We felt safe the entire time and truly enjoyed every moment — we can highly recommend this tour.
Fantastic experience with Tuna today, very informative, very safe, highly recommend to try this tour while in Vietnam
Jim and Snow were so great. Really good English and super helpful with general recommendations as well as great knowledge of Hanoi. Both were super great drivers and Jim takes great pics!
What an amazing day on our motorbike tour. We were hesitant to book as it was a bit intimidating to be on the road but Johnny and Agent X made us feel very safe. 10/10 would do it again. Made memories and photos we will never forget!
Johnny and Agent X were a fabulous team today showing us around the hidden gems of Hanoi. Johnny was very informative and has excellent English. We would absolutely recommend this tour! The mopeds felt very safe and we enjoyed our time on them.
Our tour with Jim was fantastic, he is very approachable and kind. He was very knowledgeable about all the sight seeing locations all across Hanoi. He took us to see some areas we would never have seen if we were exploring by foot! Highly recommend this tour with Jim.
Jim was incredibly helpful and informative! Letting you move through each activity at your own pace whilst answering any questions along the way. Would definitely recommend
This was a great trip! We got to see the city in a safe and fun way! Our tour leader, Jim, was knowledgeable and kind, he answered all of our questions!
Jim was a 5 star tour guide. So much fun to be around, very knowledgeable and provided some fun suggestions even post tour. You will feel exhilarated but also safe and taken caren of!
Had a great time with Cham and Chris, really good english and were very talkative in a good way! They made sure we saw everything we wanted to and told everything we wanted to tell us.
My friend and I had such an amazing experience with Baki and Ms Quy this morning on our motorbike tour around Hanoi. They took us to multiple stops, explaining the culture, cuisine, and history of the city and Vietnam—cannot recommend the crew more and we will definitely do it again when we're back in the city! We felt so safe the entire time and learned so much. We also got to try some really good food, drinks, and coffee. We didn't want the trip to end and wish we could've hung out with the crew for the rest of our trip lol! Thank you guys!
An amazing experience to show you the real and amazing city . The team of motor bike drivers were fantastic and super friendly particularly xuan and Louis .This is the second this my wife and I have done this and it was equally as great .
Louis and his team were very informative on our 4 hour bike tour! Took us to lots of monumental areas in Hanoi as well as food tastings at places I would have never known about. Overall impressed and highly recommend!
Amazing trip, Louis was amazing and gave us so much information when we asked and was always knowledgeable also and great driver
Our tour guide Chris and driver Long did an amazing job! We visited several local spots and Chris gave us a lot of interesting stories and facts about the country and its history. We even tried some local food and drinks. If you want to see Hanoi in a fun way, I would definitely recommend this tour with Long and Chris. Both very nice people. Thank you for the very lovely day 😊🙏🏻
I see why this is a must try when coming to Hanoi. It was so much fun. I did the morning tour and the weather was much better. You feel like you a part of the local community since so many get around on motorbikes. You get to weave through the alleyways and kinda get lost and then find your way. It’s fun and gives you an adrenaline boost. You get to see the sights and you’re in the hustle of the city. My tour guide, Chris, is super knowledgeable about the history and culture. You’ll learn so much. He has a great sense of humor and is very conversational. You’ll have an amazing time with him. I’m glad I did this and you should add it to your itinerary. It’s fun and the time flies by. You’ll love it and be glad you did it to get a lay of the city and a feel for the way people live and move here in Hanoi.
