This tour exceeded our expectations, we felt very safe on the vespas with experienced drivers. We had many stops at different restaurants to try different dishes. And we also went to train street at night which was quite different to the daytime experience. We ate so much delicious food we were so full. Summi and her team were fantastic. Summi explained all the dishes and how to eat them. Highly recommended. Would do it again.

Summi & team provided us with an unforgettable, authentic food tour. She was so enthusiastic and informative- but with great sense of joy in sharing her beautiful city & its food. Hanoi by night was amazing! Riders were great too & traffic was handled like they were experts at it. We ate so much we were fit to burst !! The video of our time was a great memory to take home with us. Highly recommend & very good value for money
Had the best time. After seeing all the traffic around Hanoi I was a little hesitate, but was amazed how relaxed I was from the start. My driver made me feel calm and was very helpful. Our guide was delightful, very chatty, funny and accommodating. The food was amazing and tried things I'd never thought I would, with a little encouragement from our guide. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hanoi.
Amazing experience. I was very anxious about getting on a Vespa anywhere but especially in Hanoi. My driver (Kai) was clearly expert at driving a Vespa as well as negotiating the crazy Vespa traffic. I felt much more comfortable going around on the Vespa than expected. Emma (the guide) was terrific in explaining the Hanoi sites as well as the food we were eating. The food was great. Going to Train Street is a "don't miss" for any Hanoi visit.
What a buzz. We had so much fun with Summi and her crew seeing the highlights of Hanoi and experiencing some of the best food. The ride was a thrill with excellent guides making sure we were safe and enjoying ourselves. The food was outsanding. Do it, you wont regret it.
What fun! Vespa ride around old Ha Noi with Hoa, Khang and Hieu as guide and 2 host riders. Vespa riding so cool, felt safe wizzing about in Ha Noi madness and taken to 5 great local eateries. Loved it & highly recommend this tour.
What an amazing experience! If you are a foodie, this is the tour for you! Emma was our tour guide and she took us to 5 different places. We had the opportunity to try many different foods. Everything was delicious and the portions were large. You will need to come extra hungry! The Vespa drivers were also very kind and safe. Overall a wonderful tour that I highly recommend.
Emma the guide is excellent, the driver Love is so great.
AMAZING TOUR. we had a great time. Linh was an excellent guide and the drivers were friendly and safe. I wish I’d booked this direct and not through the hotel. But the tour itself was unmissable. Highly recommend.
BOOK THIS TOUR! I had the most memorable evening with Shang. As a solo female traveler, I was kind of nervous to go by myself, but ended up having the best day ever. Shang was so nice and fun to spend the evening with. Seeing hanoi on a moped was an amazing experience and The food was delicious!
Absoluate fun. See Hanoi at night from the back of a vespa with experienced drivers who know the prefect places to find local food. We had a blast
Shang (our main guide) Linh & Minh Ba (drivers) were very friendly and welcoming, they made the experience even better, even though our drivers barely spoke english they made us feel very accommodated. Shang was lovely and gave us an amazing tour, highly recommend this tour
What an experience. Shang contacted me to introduce himself and firm up the meeting details. He arrived well before time with the two drivers Tom & Lee. Both my wife and myself have done some exhilarating things in the past but this is right up there! Hanoi is manic and trying to cross the road let alone ride a Vespa is daunting. However, after the first brown trouser moment it was an unbelievable experience. Shang’s English is brilliant and at every stop he gave us some great facts about Vietnam and the places we were stopping at. We visited Train Street which was brilliant and also the famous Antony Bourdain/Obama restaurant. All of the food we tried was excellent. Both Lee & Tom also spoke great English and during the ride were telling us about places we were riding past. If you’re thinking of doing this, don’t hesitate and do it. Worth every penny.
Such an amazing experience. The food, people and environment is amazing. The group who takes you is so welcoming and fun and always makes sure that you’re comfortable and safe. Highly recommend doing this as an activity
we have great experience with the tour. they were very patient in explaining to us about the food and also about the city & country itself!
We had an enjoyable evening with our tour guide, Hoa. The local delicacies were delicious and we were so full after that. Hoa was very friendly and we had great conversations not only about the food but Vietnam in general. I was worried about getting on a vespa after seeing the traffic but Tung and Hieu were great drivers. They made us feel safe and I throughly enjoyed getting around on the vespa to the different food places. Definitely recommend this tour especially if you have the tour guide and vespa drivers we had!
This was a fun way to see Hanoi at night, try some delicious food and enjoy a 1:1 guided tour! Shang and I talked about history, culture, and the ingredients/flavors of the dishes we tried - it was the most memorable experience of my few days in Hanoi. Thanks so much!
**⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Fabulous Nighttime Tour of Hà Nội!** Our nighttime tour with **Hà Nội Vespa Tours** was, without a doubt, the highlight of our trip! As a couple who were initially nervous about the chaotic streets of Hà Nội, we were quickly put at ease by our incredible guide **Emma** and the wonderful riders **Shane** and **Khánh**. They were all so friendly, funny, and incredibly sweet, making us feel safe and comfortable the entire time. The tour was a fantastic way to see the best of the city. Emma was a knowledgeable and engaging host, giving us insight into local history and culture while showing us hidden gems we never would’ve discovered on our own. From delicious street food to vibrant neighborhoods, every stop was a treat. The food was outstanding – so many flavors we never would’ve found without local guidance! We truly can’t thank **Shane** and **Khánh** enough for their careful and considerate driving – they made sure we were comfortable at all times. The whole experience was so much fun, and we couldn’t stop smiling the entire night. This tour was the most memorable part of our trip, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone visiting Hà Nội. Thank you again to Emma, Shane, and Khánh for an unforgettable night!
We had an amazing evening with Summi (our lovely and energetic guide) and the drivers Minh and Thuong. The Vespa Food Tour was the perfect mix of culture, fun, and delicious food! Riding through the lively streets of Hanoi at night with my wife was unforgettable. Highly recommended. One of the best experiences of our trip
Great Vespa food trip in the rain! They provided ponchos and my kids absolutely loved it. Summi the tour guide was very informative and helpful with our young ones. Also a shout out to the drivers, Thuong,Khanh,Sang,Tung and Minh. They were very safe drivers.
Brilliant experience even in the Typhoon rain……Chris and the team were amazing and the food was off the chart fantastic 💥
This Vespa food tour was one of the highlights of my trip! Riding through Hanoi at night on the back of a Vespa was such a fun way to experience the city — you get to see places you’d never find on your own and the food was incredible at every stop. Big thanks to our amazing drivers Khang, Cuong, Bach, and Chris — they were super friendly, funny, and made us feel safe the whole way. We laughed a lot, ate even more, and had a great time learning about the food and local culture. Highly recommend if you want something fun, authentic, and a little different while you're in hanoi
Hoa was a knowledgeable guide who spoke perfect English and was very passionate about his job. Food was all delicious and plentiful. Felt very safe moving from each location on the Vespas with the professional drivers. Would recommend this activity to anyone who wants to eat great food, see different areas of Hanoi, and learn a little bit about Vietnamese culture from locals.
Best authentic experience on a Vespa I have ever been on. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and great English and answered all our questions with easy and patient. Excellent safety go at your pace and helmets. Good value for money saw heaps more of the town than if we walked it and some places we would not have ever seen had we not gone on this tour. Very little planning time as booked in the morning for that night. Guides very friendly and easy to talk to. Was very full at end of trip.
An absolute joy. Great travel and food. (Not too sure about the steamed snails ;-) ) drivers were skilled and it was a great way to see the lights and sights of Hanoi. Can’t recommend enough. Particularly for anyone with mobility challenges. Let the Vespa do your walking!
We just had an unforgettable experience on our Hanoi After Dark Vespa food tour. First, the food was incredible. Our delightful and charming leader, Money, along with her expert scooter drivers, Thuong, Hieu and Khang, knew exactly where to take us for the best authentic, freshly prepared, traditional Vietnamese food. We made 5 stops — including one for drinks on train street (an experience not to me missed) — enjoying large portions of amazingly delicious banh cuon, Banh Xeo, Pho, Vietnamese salad and dessert (mango pudding with caramel sauce — double yum for that one!) along the way. At each stop Money took care of every detail. All we had to do was sit down, decide what beverage we wanted and eat. As we devoured our food, Money shared information about each dish (when it is eaten, the region it comes from, etc.) as well as tidbits about Vietnamese culture. At these small establishments, we felt like we were chatting around a kitchen table with her. Of course, while the main attraction of this tour for us was the food, the scooters enhanced the experience. It was so fun to zip around narrow streets and around the lake after dark admiring how Hanoi comes to life at nights with its colorful lanterns and twinkling lights. We cannot recommend this tour more highly. It was definitely a highlight of our 4 day stay in Hanoi.
We did the evening Vespa food tour and had a fabulous time. Chris and his team were fun, enthusiastic and flexible. They kept us safe and laughing all through the streets of Hanoi. The tour was one of our favorite things we did - don’t miss it!
Had a great night riding around with Shang, deep inside Hanoi go to places only a local would know. He is a safe rider, very knowledgeable and experienced with a good sense of humour. Stopping for some great food with a nice surprise for Bourdain / Obama fans, train street and a great night view of keys sites of Hanoi. I’d do it again and highly recommend even if you’ve been to Hanoi before, also great for solo travellers like myself 🙏🙏🙏👌👌👌
I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. From the minute we were met in the foyer of our hotel the hospitality was perfect. The food was amazing and for someone who has avoided Vespa’s it felt very safe. Our host Summi was friendly and knowledgeable. The photographer did a fantastic job too. Train street was a real highlight. Do yourself a favour!
This was as much of a city tour as it was a food tour. Shang was great and knowledgeable and really showed me a good swath of the city all while making delicious stops along the way. I was a bit nervous on the back of the motorbike at first, but that quickly went away as I took in the sites. Highly recommend.
What a fabulous Vespa tour this was! Our guide Chris was so knowledgable and was the perfect host, with his colleagues Tom and Carl. The food was fantastic, and there is so much to eat. Wear stretchy clothes :D This is by far the best way to see the city, we only had one night in Hanoi and feel we saw the best of everything and I would recommend this trip to anyone who enjoys their food. Thanks for a fabulous night
Mr. Shang was very informative and the food was really good. The locations that the restaurants were very different from the normal. I recommend him for all….
Chris and his team were amazing! Food was delicious and riding through the streets of Hanoi on a Vespa was extremely fun. They were knowledgeable, warm and welcoming. Would highly recommend this tour to everyone.
Chris and his team were amazing, Great food , Super knowledgeable and extremely nice … I would recommend this to anybody whether they have kids or not. Just a great experience. !!!
Amazing food. Amazing guide. Would highly recommend. Chris was outstanding as a guide! We felt safe. We enjoyed every food dish offered. Would one hundred percent do it again!
The food on the tour was fantastic and hit all the classic Hanoi dishes. Our tour guide Chris was amazing and was super helpful in explaining the dishes with great banter.
I highly recommend this tour and Perry and Bien as tourist guides/vespa drivers. All the places they brought us to have delicious food. We tried a lot of food Vietnamese that we have never heard/read about before. At the end of the tour, we were fully sated and couldn’t for a more outstanding tour.
This tour is certainly a must do while in Hanoi. The tour guides were great, excellent fun on the Vespa's, plus you get to see a lot of Hanoi City at night which is very beautiful. The restaurants we were taken too were all great, trying all Vietnamese local food. We also visited Train Street and had a beer while experiencing a train close by which was fun! This tour was excellent and I would highly recommend it!
This is an exciting trip on the back of a Vespa weaving in and out of the traffic. The drivers are very good and you feel very safe. As well as a driver a guide comes as well. There were 5 stops for cocktails and food. The food was very good including Bun Cha at the restaurant Obama ate in. Also stopped at a cafe where the train passes very closely so that was an additional experience! The last stop at the Alchemist bar had an extremely good singer.
My wife and I did the Vespa food tour in Hanoi with Chris who was our primary tour guide along with Tom. Both of them were kind, friendly and knowledgeable. The Vespa rides were so much fun and felt very safe. We explored absolutely delicious restaurants including two which either had a Michelin star or were on the Michelin guide. In addition to the excellent food we got to see key parts of Hanoi including the Old quarter and French quarter. Chris has tons of knowledge about the culture and history of Vietnam so it was great to hear his perspective as a local. This has been one of the highlights of our 3 week Southeast Asia trip and would highly recommend to anyone!
We cant recommend this tour enough, Chris and his team were amazing! They took us to all hot spots and the food was incredible. Chris made us feel at home and incredibly safe while we darted through Hanoi streets on Vespas. Definitely check this out, you wont regret it!
The trip was really excellent and the guys that we went with really knew their staff inside out and took us to some really interesting restaurants. And we got to taste traditional Vietnamese food in all sorts of different styles, I couldn’t fault it. It was exciting, historical and delicious and just what we wanted. it comes highly recommended.
Fantastic way to see Hanoi at night. We felt very safe on the Vespa’s and got a true insider’s taste of authentic Hanoi food. Perry and Binh were both great guys and would highly recommend them and this tour
This was a really wonderful experience! Our drivers were very professional and caring. Our guide Thomas was very knowledgeable. We started in Train Street which was fabulous, and the food throughout the tour was so delicious, and in places we wouldn’t have thought to go. Such fun zipping through the Hanoi traffic - a really fun night! I can’t recommend this enough!
My boyfriend and I had a tour with the handsome Chris, and wow - what an experience ! It was definitely the highlight of our time in Hanoi, and we will definitely be telling all our friends to book a tour with him when they come to Hanoi. The food was absolutely incredible and Chris went above and beyond. Highly, highly recommend this!
An amazing Food Tour which Thomas adjusted to allow for the local foods we had already tasted . Each of the restaurants was a feast for the senses and busy with locals but still welcoming. The seafood restaurant was especially interesting as I tried a few dishes I never would have tried. We love shoot g from restaurant to restaurant on the back of the Vespa as well. We had a break from the food tour halfway through with a stop at a cafe to watch the Hanoi trains go past which was also awesome. On. Again the passion in action boys made us feeel safe zooming around the streets explained the background and ingredients of all the dishes and spoke in very good English. Personally I would recommend this tour as a must do if you visit Hanoi even if it’s only for a few days.
An experience not to be missed whilst you are in Hanoi. Experienced drivers take you around the wild streets of Hanoi in search of that local food treasures. We hit 3-4 Michelin star restaurants (UNBELIEVABLE). Thanks to the amazing hospitality of the staff keeping us safe! Don’t text or take photos whilst you are on the back 😂
Fantastic amazing selection of food lots of extra information and interesting stops. Drivers are very safe with great English ! Thanks for a great evening
Summi and Ngan and Dat gave us a fantastic tour around Hanoi. We sampled lots of different dishes- all of them were delicious. It was great fun whizzing around Hanoi on the back of a Vespa! Would recommend it to everyone!
Amazing experience! Thomas was a great guide to all of the amazing food HaNoi has to offer. We definitely tried dishes we probably would not have been brave enough to try on our own. The Vespas added a nice touch and resulted in a unique way to experience the hustle and bustle, and beauty of the city.
