Full description

This is a 4-hour experience in Hanoi, built around Local restaurant, Hanoi Opera House and Long Bien Bridge. It is run by Cyclo Travel & Leisure, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Japanese food tours work because the best places are small, unmarked and full of regulars, and a guide who orders for you opens them. An izakaya crawl covers yakitori, sashimi, karaage and the local pours of sake, shochu and highballs across three or four counters in an evening; a ramen walk explains the broths, tonkotsu, shoyu, miso and shio, and the regional styles. Most places seat eight to twelve and tours run six to eight guests for that reason. Vegetarians should say so when booking, because dashi stock is fish and hidden in almost everything; halal-certified options exist but are fewer.

The price covers Pick up and drop off at your hotel, Modern Style Vespa, local guide, driver and Helmet & raincoat. It does not cover Tips for guide and driver and Personal expenses, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Dong Xuan. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Cyclo Travel & Leisure before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

It was a great night tour on Vespa. It is amazing. Scooter is the most popular way to move around the city. You feel like local. You can see more or less all the most important place in Hanoi.. My guide tour guide Tin helped me to understand not only the place and the local food but also the culture behind that. And with night lights everything is better! Thanks Tin!

Nam is wonderful, down to earth and easy to talk to. He was great company while I have been solo travelling. He is very intelligent and knows worlds of information about the history of Vietnam. He had great recommendations for me and the food was delicious. I highly recommend touring with Nam / this tour group.

Definitely a highlight of my stay in Hanoi. Linh was an amazing guide and tailored the experience to make it special. Riding around Hanoi on a Vespa is something everyone should experience once in their life. What a way to see this beautiful city. Thanks Linh!!!

Tin was a fantastic guide. Warm and friendly, he was also incredibly knowledgeable about all things Vietnam and we learned as much from him as we thoroughly enjoyed the food and the sites. Join the tour - you’ll love it!

Linh’s Vespa tour was a highlight of our time in Hanoi. From the moment she picked us up, we felt safe and comfortable in the traffic. She was very patient and tailored the route to our interests, never rushing us. Linh explained the city’s history and culture in a way that was easy to relate to and full of local insight. She also took lots of cute couple photos for us and knew great spots for pictures. Beyond being a fantastic guide, she was just a joy to be around. We’d 100% recommend her to anyone visiting Hanoi.

Great tour and well looked after by our guides Tin and Trung. Went to some authentic restaurants we would not find ourselves. Extensive tour of the city finishing with beers on train street. Felt very safe on the back of the Vespas even in the manic Hanoi traffic. Highly recommended!

No, you ride pillion behind a licensed local driver; helmets are provided and compulsory. Self-riding needs an international licence with a motorcycle category, which most travel insurance also requires, so the pillion tour is the safe answer. Wear closed shoes and long trousers.
