Activity description
You will be met by our guide and driver in your hotel lobby or at our meeting point for a safety briefing, and then we will begin our adventure!
Morning: Hanoi Parts Unknown by motorcycle.
In the first part of the trip, we expose you to the REAL HANOI with a day of life experiences, characterized by the unknown parts of the city, with glimpses of life in the labyrinth of alleys, tiny alleys, local houses, schools, random markets, and black markets, experiencing where and how locals live, work, and play. Other travel agencies only show you the beauty and tell you to avoid the bad and strange in their destinations. On Hanoi Backstreet Tours, we not only show you the good, but also expose the bad and strange in your destinations, because it is what it is. For us, the sold-out tourist spots are just the tip of the iceberg; most of your destinations remain hidden in unknown parts.
In the second part of the trip, we also take you to the poetic and peaceful villages and floating community along the Red River to enrich your experiences of the contrast in harmony of life between the city and countryside of Hanoi.
Afternoon: Hanoi city tour in a vintage jeep.
After lunch, you will head inside to visit the MUST-SEE places of our beautiful city, such as Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum - the Mecca of the Vietnamese, the 1000-year-old Buddhist and Taoist temples of Tran Quoc, the Temple of Literature, the historic training ground, the charming French Quarter, the bustling Old Quarter, the romantic lakes of Hoan Kiem, West Lake, Hanoi Opera House and the famous Long Bien Bridge, etc.
Last but not least, along the way, you will stop at different AUTHENTIC restaurants, eateries, and food stalls to taste Hanoi's most delicious flavorful dishes, including family heirloom dishes and secret recipes, delicacies, and local specialties.
If you want to kill two birds with one stone, travel in style by getting off the beaten path and taking a Hanoi city tour to visit all the city's famous landmarks. This is the tour for you! This tour is a fun way to experience the sights, smells, and flavors of Hanoi. And definitely the best way to see and learn about the real Hanoi, not just the typical tourist spots. We'll take you to so many parts of Hanoi you wouldn't otherwise see or even imagine, from the maze of zigzagging backstreets, hectic traffic, and old French avenues to the off-road roads along the Red River. You'll also sample some of Hanoi's most delicious dishes. Plus, you'll get to visit some of Hanoi's famous landmarks and landmarks!
