It was so cool to be on the vespas cruising around. 10/10 would do this again. Such a cool experience!

Excellent tour guide. Alex was very knowledgable. The Vespa tour was extremely fun. Felt very safe on the Vespa. Highly recommend
Had the best time!! Alex was awesome and all drivers made the trip so enjoyable. Definitely recommend to anyone visiting Hanoi. Got to see things I never would have without the tour.
Cool rides, tasty local and authentic food, and interesting facts about Hanoi and Vietnam. Best way to go sightseeing.
Alex is very knowledgeable of history, and is very friendly. We had an amazing time touring around Hanoi on Vespas - so much fun. Highly recommended! 😊
The Vespa tour in Hanoi is a must do! It was thrilling to zip through the crazy traffic on these cool vintage motorbikes. At first I was scared but I realized how talented our drivers were. It was a great way to see the city.
We had a great time! Booked a group tour but it ended up being a private tour with just our group of friends which was awesome. We also had to change our reservation at the last minute and they were very accomodating. Our guide was very knowledgeable about Hanoi and Vietnam in general. Would definitely recommend.
Very fun visit of many parts of Hanoi that we would never have discovered otherwise. Fun, timely, convenient, and comfortable tour!
This is a fantastic tour to see the main tourist highlights of Hanoi as well as some more authentic experiences such as visiting a local farm on Banana Island and having tea with the farm owners. Our guide Alex was very friendly and knowledgeable about Hanoi and Vietnam in general. This has definitely been a highlight of our time in Hanoi and I can highly recommend this tour.
I highly recommend this tour for anyone who are looking for the best way to explore the capital Hanoi. You will experience driving into the allies which you only can do by motorbikes. You will visit the places most tourists don't know about. The local family on banana island was the highlight. Very authentic. Very vietnam. And you also learn a lot from the history of Vietnam and the culture. Very interesting. You should do it if you want to have the best time in Hanoi.
Amazing idea to briefly and quickly see Hanoi. Great if you are travelling solo. Riding vespa with a tour guide through the city is a real experience. Totally recommend it!
We went to places we’d never have known to go, the banana island was incredible and it is sooooo worth the trip with these Vespas and people! Alex the guide was especially brilliant, very knowledgable of Vietnam and Hanoi! Thankyou :)
Fantastic tour. Alex and his team were great guides and very clever, safe drivers. I loved all parts of the tour. We visited a range of places with history and also everyday living.
Spent the morning exploring the different areas of Hanoi with Alex and had a wonderful time, he was very careful in the traffic which was good for me as a first time scooter rider and it was very relaxing morning, he provided great commentary of the history. A highlight was a visit to a local family on the Banana Island for some snacks on their farm. Thanks for a lovely tour Alex!
We had a fantastic day with Alex. I highly recommend this tour. Great way to see Hanoi and travel like the locals. Meeting the local farmers on Banana Island was a highlight. Alex is very knowledgeable and full of interesting facts on history and culture. Our second driver Viet was also a great driver. We felt very safe in all of the traffic madness. Enjoyed very much.
Presidential Palace / Mausoleum / Banana Island / Riding a Vespa in heavy traffic Highlight Alex Tour Guide & Viet driver very Good
It was fantastic! I only had 3 hours before a start of a week long work and I literally saw so many things--from the sights to engaging with the local community. Wonderful! Highly recommend!

Would 100% recommend this tour to see and understand the true Hanoi. My tour guide Alex was amazing, full of knowledge of the rich history of Hanoi and Vietnam 🇻🇳
Alex, Lee and Viet gave us an amazing experience in Hanoi! Alex in particular made our vesper tour! He was full of knowledge and explained everything in great depth! Definitely recommend this to anyone who is visiting Hanoi
It was a really enjoyable experience, the guide was really nice and spoke English well. We saw a lot of the city in 4,5 hours time and had a really tasty local lunch beforehand, got to taste fruit from a sweet family on the banana island and ended the trip with the famous egg white coffee in the train street, so it was a bit of a food tour too! I would recommend this tour :)
This tour is a great way to see the city in a short time! The tourguides are really friendly and speak proper English. 10/10 would recommend.
It gave us a good view and feel of the city. We covered many places in 4 hours. Alex and his team were efficient and accommodating and knew to answer questions we asked. I would recommend this tour to friends.
Our tour guides were very nice and helpful. They showed us around and provided great insight into the history of their country and culture. Very happy with our your guides Bach and Phong.
A great way to see Hanoi. From the hussle and bussle of your old quarter to places you’d never find yourself like the farm communities by the river. Guides were great and made the tour a fantastic time. One thing you should do in Hanoi!
It was great! I had a great time!! Visited a lot of hidden gems. Got to visit several places and even a crashed US plane on a pond. We visited the train street which was a great spot to visit! Must book to see Hanoi in a different angle
Woooww... we were looking for a tour to get in touch with the life behind the touristic hotspots. Our motorbike drivers brought us to many places like a farm, coffee shop (Vietnamese Coffee), some crowed streets, ... . We saw so many cool things during the ride which you wont see if you book only a normal city tour. The drivers explained a lot about Vietnam’s history and the current life. Highly recommended!
Nice trip on the Vespa together with my friends via Vespa Vintage. We really enjoyed it. I was in good hands with driver Alex.
Alex is a great guy who shows you everything about Hanoi on the back of the Vespa Great way to see the city!! With a family of 4 on the back of a Vespa it's really fun!
Super nice driver, safe, and speaks good English. Nice vintage vespa scooters. All morning driving around. Really cool to do!!
This guy is really a great guide to the city! I had fun and met his welcoming family
A very authentic tour, you get to know places that you would not see as a normal tourist. Among other things, a small banana island off Hanoi. Super nice guides and you felt safe all the time on Vespa, something that is not taken for granted in Hanoi!
