Highlight

Discover the authentic charm of Hanoi on the back of a vintage Vespa, where you'll journey beyond the typical tourist spots and into the heart of local life. Our half-day tour invites you to experience the city like a true local, riding through tree-lined boulevards, colonial streets, and vibrant food markets. As you cruise along hidden alleyways and beside the iconic train tracks, you'll catch glimpses of Hanoi's daily rhythms that few visitors ever see.

This unique Vespa tour also takes you to some of the city’s lesser-known gems, including a 900-year-old pagoda, bustling neighborhood markets, and scenic lakes like West Lake and B52 Lake. Along the way, you’ll meet a local musician, explore the colorful Flower & Bonsai market, and indulge in the flavors of the city with a traditional "Bun Cha" meal, offering a true taste of Hanoi’s culinary heritage.
