Hanoi City Bike Tour

This 4 hours motorbike journey takes you into Hanoi, weaving together Hanoi at a calm, well-paced rhythm. A thousand-year-old city of lakes, French quarters, Old Quarter trades and street-food culture.

You travel with an English-speaking guide and comfortable transport, so the timing stays flexible. Pickup, pace and stops are shaped around your group rather than a rigid coach timetable, and the route favours quieter moments over the busiest tourist spots.

Why this route works

Hanoi is the capital of Vietnam, gateway to all northern routes. In a single day you cover the headline experiences without rushing them — a meaningful slice of the area at a comfortable pace. The result is a route that feels both efficient and genuinely restful.

What you will experience

• Motorbike pacing — slow enough to take in the landscape, with safety briefings and well-maintained bikes.
• Local meals — set-menu lunches built around regional specialities and seasonal produce.

Who is this tour for

Best suited to travellers who want the scenery and culture of Hanoi without the tourist-trail crowds — couples, small families, photographers and curious independent travellers. A licence and prior riding experience are recommended for self-riding options; the overall pace is unhurried, with light walking and seated transport between stops. If you have one day to spare in the area, this is the route we recommend.
