My cousin and I had such a wonderful time on the motorbike food tour! Our guide Linh was wonderful and taught us so much about Hanoi and each of the local dishes that we tried, also pointing out all the landmarks that we passed as we zipped around the streets. We had a few touristic classics (like bun cha at the restaurant that Obama and Anthony Bourdain visited), but the tour also included dishes that I had never tried before (like chargrilled clams and deep fried rice noodles) which were super delicious and interesting. I was a little nervous at first about getting on the scooter, but felt very safe and had an amazing time - this is truly the best way to see Hanoi! Highly recommend!!!

Itinerary
18:00 Our mainly female drivers and tour guide of Motorbike City Tours will meet you at your hotel lobby for a safety briefing and detailed itinerary of your journey. We use a fleet of brand new Honda Lead scooters equipped with passenger backrests for comfort, you feel like you are in a lounge chair, not hanging on tightly as some bikes you may do. The first stage of our Hanoi By Night Foodie Motorbike Tours, we stop at local eatery Hanoians claim is the best spot for Banh Cuon (steamed rolled cake) in town. The skilled chef will demonstrate for us how the ingredients are put together as we get to experience a front row seat to the culinary process. Our tour continues weaving through the streets bathed in the glow of colorful lanterns and decorative lights in the Old Quarter as we ride along the bank of the Red River to take in the views of Hanoi under the cover of night.
The second stage of our Hanoi By Night Foodie Motorbike Tours leads us to one of Hanoi’s most prominent family run restaurants where you will get to enjoy Bun Cha( grilled pork with vermicelli noodle). You’ll be taken on a ride over to West Lake to enjoy the scenery before arriving at Ngu Xa village to try Freshly grilled seafood and some different Hanoian version of Pho and Banana salads and other traditional Vietnamese dishes.
The third stage of our Hanoi By Night Foodie Motorbike Tours, you will be taken past the Ho Chi Minh memorial where guards can be seen performing their nightly ceremonies. Nothing captures the reverence and sanctity that the Vietnamese hold for Ho Chi Minh more than these nightly ceremonies. Following, we will head into the densely packed streets of Hanoi to the train tracks where locals cook, relax, and sell their wares. It is a bustling alley full of locals going about their nightly lives, right next to active train tracks!
The last stage of our Hanoi By Night Foodie Motorbike Tours winds down with a stop to a popular cafe to try the famous Vietnamese egg coffee and a top secret desert which you only know when you travel with us! First invented in 1946, it’s a delicacy of whipped egg yolk with sugar and condensed milk for sweetness, and just a drop of vinegar to fluff the eggs. This is floated on top of a shot of espresso and dusted with cocoa powder. The end result is a coffee experience like no other, and a taste and texture reminiscent of tiramisu. or enjoy yummy Mango Pudding and Caramel dessert in place popular with locals.

This was an amazing tour! Lots of fun and the tour guides Summi, Ocean and Hieu were very professional. The food spots were delicious highly recommend. We felt very safe on the motorcycles drivers were very careful while driving through the busy streets. Thank you for making our first night in Hanoi so memorable.
Riding on the back of a scooter 🛵🔥 through Hanoi’s chaotic night traffic isn’t just transportation, it’s full immersion. Linh, my guide, navigated the sea of motorbikes with complete precision, weaving through glowing alleyways and buzzing streets to take me straight to where the locals actually eat. We traded tourist spots for side-street plastic stools, diving into iconic Hanoi dishes: fresh bánh cuốn, smoky bun cha, local desserts, and a front-row seat at Train Street sipping rich egg coffee as the locomotive rumbled past inches away. 🛵🍜 The best way to taste a city isn't from behind a window; it's from the back of a scooter with someone who knows every hidden alleyway. 🛵🇻🇳🥢
A great way to see and taste the local sites of Hanoi. Well organised and an overall great experience. Our hosts were excellent.
What a wonderful evening, and a wonderful way to be introduced to Hanoi. We were a group of 4 which was an ideal number for zipping around the streets together. My driver, Ocean, was so kind and thoughtful, as well as a very capable and competent driver. She shared information of the town as we drive through various districts which I really appreciated. The food stops (5 or 6 in total) were all delicious and the hosts welcoming. A very special thanks to our guide for making this such a special experience. Highly recommended to anybody.
We had such a fun and amazing experience on this motorbike tour! The food was delicious, the places we visited were great, and the whole experience was so much fun! Summi, Hang, and Hung were incredibly kind, friendly, and attentive. They made sure to adapt the tour to our interests and preferences, which made it even more special. We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend this tour!
Hoa was an amazing guide. His English was excellent, and he explained everything clearly and in great detail throughout our visits. He also had a great sense of humor, which made the trip even more enjoyable. My rider, Hang, was also wonderful. I felt very comfortable and safe with her riding skills, and she pointed out many of the main attractions along the way. I really enjoyed the entire experience and would highly recommend both Hoa and Hang.
We always felt safe on our ride and all of the stops on the tour were fantastic. The guides were knowledgeable and engaging. I highly recommend this tour.
Money was the absolute highlight of this women-led motorbike tour! She picked me up right outside my hotel, provided a helmet, and made me feel comfortable from the start. She was such a fun driver, and I felt completely at ease riding with her. This was the first activity I did after arriving in Vietnam, and I’m so glad I started my trip this way. It helped me get my bearings, understand the lay of the land, and feel more confident exploring during the rest of my stay. Money is incredibly knowledgeable and answered so many of my questions about Vietnam. But what really made the experience was her personality. She’s funny, warm, and so much fun to spend time with. With just me and one other guest, the tour felt really personal. Highly, highly, highly recommend this tour, especially at the beginning of your trip. If you can request Money, do it. She’s the best!
Linh was the best! An excellent driver and tour guide with a really super and enthusiastic attitude. My only regret was not being able to eat all the amazing food. We had at least five stops to eat, and they were all fantastic!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An absolute must-do if you visit Hanoi! If you’re visiting Hanoi, I honestly couldn’t recommend this tour enough! It was one of the highlights of my trip and a fantastic way to experience the real Hanoi, especially if you want to discover the local food, culture, and hidden gems you might otherwise miss. Money, Melanie and Trang were absolutely brilliant from start to finish. They were welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience so enjoyable. Riding through the busy streets of Hanoi on the back of a motorbike was an experience in itself, and having such great guides made it even better. The food was incredible! We got to try a variety of authentic Vietnamese dishes and experience local places that I would never have found on my own. Everything was delicious, and it was great to learn more about Vietnamese food and culture along the way. The guides also shared some fantastic recommendations for other places to eat and visit during my stay, which was really helpful. What made the experience particularly special was how personal and enjoyable it felt. It wasn’t just about the food or the motorbike ride; it was about getting a real feel for Hanoi and spending the evening with people who genuinely love sharing their city with visitors. A huge thank you to Money, Melanie and Trang for such a memorable experience and for making us feel so welcome. You can tell they genuinely care about making sure everyone has a great time. If you’re coming to Hanoi, book this tour! Whether you’re travelling solo, as a couple, or with friends, I would highly recommend it. It’s a brilliant way to explore the city, try amazing local food, and make some fantastic memories. Five stars without hesitation! 🇻🇳❤️
The BEST tour I have been on ever. Our guides Linh and Money were natural, kind, safe, professional and fun. It was more than a food tour but the food was amazing - with enough gaps in-between to enjoy the bike and beautiful city - beyond where you would see as a tourist. They even remembered thst the tour was a gift and we had birthday singing and cake on train street. I will always use and trust this company when in Hsnoi
What a terrific experience throughout the journey. The guides Summi, Ali and An were so confident that I felt at ease straight away, and their knowledge of Vietnam was superb, We cannot speak more highly of this team who were professional in every detail, yet so friendly. Would book again, and will tell others to book this company Well done girls and thank you for a brilliant experience never to be forgotten, and one of the highlights of our holiday.
What a great evening we just had with Money and Ling. lovely ladies who drive so skilfully I totally forgot that I was nervous of the traffic! Very knowledgeable about the food which was varied and absolutely delicious. So much food too! And not rushed. We honestly had the best evening.
my tour guide Linh was superb!! she shared so many fun facts about Vietnam! we tried tons of Vietnamese foods i had never heard of that were delicious. she was very nice to talk to and extremely friendly. Linh was amazing!
They were extremely capable and made us feel safe throughout. Hanoi traffic at night on a motorbike can be a little scary at first, but they knew exactly what they were doing. The food choices were personalized to our tastes, very authentic, and absolutely delicious. Highly recommended!
A fantastic way to experience Hanoi, almost like a local. Linh and her team were kind and welcoming while we zoomed through the streets trying new Vietnamese cuisine. You won’t leave hungry, and will have an unforgettable experience.
Highly recommend Motorbike City Tours - Hanoi Foodie Tour by Night. Happy, Snow and Tom were all fantastic. You will try a LOT of local Hanoi food, all delicious, and get to see Hanoi as locals do - on the back of a scooter. Happy was a really amazing tour guide. Both Happy and Snow are excellent riders. We appreciated them sharing their experience and insights with us throughout the tour.
Excellent tour. Great food. Professionals drivers. Scary at first because Hanoi traffic is different from traffic flow in the USA. After a while of driving I felt so much more comfortable and was able to enjoy city lights, small talk about the government buildings, and a nice joyride through the city.
Booking this motorbike tour was the best decision I made in Hanoi. My guide, Emma, was absolutely incredible. She was a highly skilled and safe driver, which instantly made me feel comfortable navigating the chaotic Hanoi traffic. Emma took me to amazing local food spots I never would have found on my own and shared fascinating stories about the city's history and culture. She was warm, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure I had a great time. Request Emma if you can—she is the best!
This was an amazing experience my whole family loved it !
The motorbike foodie tour was exceptional. Our guide (Hua) was very friendly, well organised and delivered a great tour. The food was outstanding. The scooter drivers were also amazing, taking us from place to place while also sharing some insights into Hanoi. Would definitely recommend.
Thanks Summi and her team. I took the Hanoi motorbike tour. And it was really, really good. We had a great time and her local knowledge of local food destinations and local history was excellent. If I visit again I will definitely ask for Summi as our personal guide.
Amazing tour with and amazing guide—Summi! Very knowledgeable and perfect balance of local and well-known restaurants!
Easily the best thing we did in Hanoi! Our riders, Ocean and Melony, were brilliant and made navigating the bustling streets feel completely safe and thrilling. Our host, Hoa, took us to some incredible local restaurants, and every single dish was absolutely delicious. A fantastic team and an amazing food tour—highly recommended!
Great experience, the best we did in Town, the let us discovered a lot of Amazing Place
Wow, what an awesome experience led by Linh and her co workers. We experienced great Hanoi food over 3.5 hours! Linh and her colleagues' knowledge and explanation of the food and places we passed were fantastic. The evening was a lot of fun - especially being chauffeured on scooters. Teenagers loved it. We would highly recommend the tour to other families visiting Hanoi. Our sincere thanks to Linh and her co-workers for their professional and courteous attitudes. Steve and family
Hoa, Aly and Malony did an amazing job. Zooming around the streets of Hanoi was the most fun we had. They took us to amazing parts of the city, explained interesting facts along. The food was delicious and a good balance, good value for money. The length of the tour was perfect. Thank you.
Money and Tung were awesome drivers, zigzagged our way thru Hanoi. I expected less on this food tour doing a disappointing one a few days ago but they exceeded my expectations. All of the food stops were great, they thought of everything that you wouldn’t think for yourself. Hanoi at night on a motorbike was one of the highlights of our trip. I suggest doing it on your first night in Hanoi
I had a great time with linh and Kai. I learned a lot about Vietnamese history and ate good food beside it. And also Linh gave us lots of recommendations for Hanoi and around, was very grateful. I could recommend this to anyone!! Thank youuu!!
This was my wife and my favourite experience from our trip to Hanoi. Riding through the city and eating like the locals do - Happy and Ocean were excellent tour guides who were easy-going and definitely made the experience a 10/10 for us.
Summi & the team were awesome!! We had so much fun! Amazing food, beautiful drive through Hanoi, such a great way to see the city by night. Highly recommend this tour!! Thankyou Summi 🫶🏼
Summi and the girls were fantastic. Informative, cheerful and most of all made our time fly by with outstanding service. Highly recommend the group, If you want to have a great and safe time with the family whilst learning alot about Hanoi in a fun and informative way. Congrats team worth every cent. It’s quality !
Great night. Trang was an excellent driver!! Hoa explained all the food and escorted around Hanoi beautifully. The girls and guys were all very pleasant and accommodating. Would recommend
Summi was a very knowledgeable guide who was able to give great insight into not just the delicious food, but the culture and history of Hanoi and Vietnam. I would definitely recommend to anyone interested in a food tour. I also booked on very short notice, so I was happy they were able to accommodate.
Great experience out in Ha Noi at night. Picked up directly outside our hotel. Our drivers were Olivia & Ocean who were excellent drivers & we felt safe at all times. Summi was the tour guide who led us around the restaurants & was knowledgeable. The food was varied & excellent & we were always offered the opportunity to get more if we wanted. I put the value at 4 stars as the tour was advertised as 3.5-4 hours long & we were back at our hotel bang on 3 hours. I would have enjoyed seeing more of Ha Noi like the Eiffel bridge or maybe another food stop but it felt a bit rushed to be honest.
An outstanding experience from start to finish with Emma, Aly, and Tom. They guided us through classic staples while introducing us to dishes we had never tried, like fried pho noodles. Structuring the tour with built-in breaks between larger meals was a thoughtful touch that made the whole outing far more enjoyable. I also appreciated that it wasn't strictly about the food: driving past the Hanoi Tower, Presidential Palace, Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, and West Lake gave us fantastic context for the city, and visiting a quieter part of Train Street was a highlight. Highly recommended. I eat alot, and near the end of the tour I was full. Come hungry!
It was a great experience riding on a motor scooter in Hanoi. It’s synchronized chaos traffic. Great food stops. Linh was great
The food tour through Hanoi was fantastic, Money and Linh were great guides who gave us tremendious detail as we went around the city. All the food stops were delicious.
We had the best night out with Summi and Ocean zooming through the Hanoi streets and enjoying some of the best food in the city. Pouring rain just added to the adventure that was a lot of fun. Summi knows so much about the food culture of Hanoi and is a wonderful guide and you truly haven't experienced Hanoi if you haven't experienced it by scooter.
Did a private Foodie night motorbike tour of Hanoi. Big shout out to our guides/riders Summi and Ali, they were knowledgeable, good conversationists and they made our night an experience 😀 we also had a support rider, Hung who helped make sure the night ran smoothly. Highly recommend this tour, great way to try many Vietnamese dishes and to see the sites of Hanoi.
As a solo female traveler in Vietnam for my first time, this experience was absolutely AMAZING. Hang, our guide, speaks exceptional English, is so funny, and made sure we had such a good time. Genuinely felt like we were friends by the end— not to mention how insanely good the food was! And that is a very high compliment from me because pretty much all I do is waste my money on food. She was also such a safe and careful driver. I would say this is a must do experience, especially for female solo travelers in Hanoi. You won’t regret it, book right away and ask for Hang!!!
Was a very interesting and enjoyable tour, with lots of great food! Guide Summi and her team Hang, Melanen, Ocean, Thuong and Hung were all lovely! Great way to see the city.
Amazing tour de force of Hanoi’s culinary highlights! Summi and Hang did a great job threading us through Vietnamese traffic while treating us to the best food tour in SE Asia! Shout out to Melanen, Ocean, Thuong and Hung as well for a great tour! Thank you very much 🫶❤️🇻🇳
Great experience, pick up and drop off was seamless. Aly and Melony were great drivers and were very hospitable. Our guide HOA was great and very knowledgeable.
This was so fantastic, I can’t recommend it highly enough! The food was incredible, summi and ocean are fabulous guides… i saw so much of hanoi I couldn’t have seen on my own. Must do!
My guide Happy was the best! Thank you
This tour was the best experience I have had in Ha Noi so far. The most exviting way to see the sights of the city along with the tasting the best food, cold and delicious beer and of course coffee. Happy was a great host / rider, I didn't once feel scared or in fear for my life in amongst the chaos of Ha Noi weekend night life by motorcycle. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This tour was a great and fun way to sample the local food scene and experience Hanoi by motorbike. Summi and Minh were amazing, thank you got a fantastic first night in Hanoi.
What a perfect way to start our Vietnam trip! Hanoi Motorbike Tours gave us the best possible introduction to the city, an incredible night exploring local food spots we never would have found on our own, weaving through the streets by motorbike and tasting our way through Hanoi’s food scene. Our guide Summi was fantastic, knowledgeable, fun, and clearly passionate about sharing the real Hanoi with visitors. A night we won’t forget. Highly recommend this as a must-do if you’re visiting Hanoi!
