The Special Attractive Value of Motorbike Tours in Hanoi

Riding a motorcycle throughout Hanoi has a certain unique appeal. It is a cultural experience with unparalleled freedom and flexibility, not just a means of mobility. While flying through its little streets, you will feel the air, hear the noises of the city, and experience Hanoi from a new vantage point on these trips.

Why Take a Motorbike Tour to Discover the History of Hanoi?

Motorbike trips provide an amazing chance to personally and dynamically learn about Hanoi's past. Motorbike trips provide you the opportunity to explore at your own leisure, whether it's to stop for a quick lunch, take a picture, or just soak in the ambiance of a historical location, whereas traditional tours might seem stiff and impersonal.

Freedom and adaptability in seeing Hanoi

The freedom motorcycle rides provide is one of its greatest draws. For those who want for an off-the-beaten-path experience, these trips are perfect since you can quickly negotiate Hanoi's meandering streets and veers into less-known districts. There will be chances for you to discover hidden treasures and well-known sites that may not be reachable with bigger cars.

From a Local's Point of View: Finding Uncovered Historical Sites

On a motorcycle, you actively participate in the rhythm of the city rather than just observe. Local guides familiar with the city both inside and out lead many motorcycle trips. The experience is both personal and instructive as they may take you to less well-known historical monuments, tell amazing anecdotes, and provide you understanding of the life of Hanoi's people.

    Nghia is a great tour guide and we had such a great time. I’ve been nervous about getting on a motorbike in Vietnam, particularly with two teenagers to look after – but it was all very safe and fun. The kids loved it, and so did the adults. We’ve been in Vietnam for a month and have learnt lots of different things, but we still learnt heaps of interesting info on this tour.

    Booked the scooter tour for my family of 4 (two kids 7 and 10).

    Nghia and his team did a wonderful job ensuring we were comfortable and safe throughout. The company had appropriately sized helmets for the kids and there wasn’t any point I was worried given the busy streets of Hanoi.

    The tour took us to all must-see destination in Hanoi and our children can learn a lot of things from there.

    Would definitely highly recommend!

    Amazing trip!! Our family of 5, 3 generations, agreed that this was the BEST trip of our 10-day trip in Vietnam. Our tour guide Linh Chi was great. She took good care of us, was very knowledgeable and tailored the trip to suit us (ages 9 to 77).

    We took a tour on 6 scooters from Hanoi Cathedral.
    First stop, Tran Quoc Pagoda – a beautiful pagoda in the middle of West Lake, then we visited famous tourist attractions and symbols of Hanoi such as Temple of Literature, Hoa Lo Prison.
    We could understand more about the wonderful history of the wonderful people here.
    Ended the trip with a wonderful lunch at a very famous local restaurant with famous chicken pho, then we went to a charming cafe with old lanterns. Everyone rated the meal 10/10.
