Experience a whole new side of Hanoi after dark – it's a complete shift from what you see during the day. The city comes alive with shimmering lights, vibrant colors, and an exciting array of night activities. Our adventurous evening kicks off with a vintage Vespa ride through iconic landmarks, coupled with a delightful exploration of local cuisine.

18:30: Let's kick off the evening adventure with a short ride to a local restaurant in Ngu Xa village. Here, you'll get to try "Phở cuốn" – a delightful dish of steam rice paper rolls with fried beef and salad, paired with a dipping sauce featuring young papaya and various spices. Don't miss out on other authentic treats like "Phở chiên phồng" – stir-fried steam rice paper with beef, bok choy, and onion, and "Phở trộn" – mixed noodles.

Enjoy a drink while soaking in the lively atmosphere with rhythmic music, including rock, Vietnamese love songs, or jazz. Here, you'll have the chance to step on stage and perform or simply enjoy the local musical talent, performing in both Vietnamese and English, each with their unique style.
21:50: It's time to say goodbye to our guide as the Vespa riders escort you back to your hotel.
