Activity description
Hanoi Jeep Tours are a fun way to experience the sights, smells, and flavors of Hanoi, unlike a window-mounted trip in an air-conditioned car. And definitely the best way to see and learn about the real Hanoi, not just the most common tourist spots. If you're looking for a way to see Hanoi in style, then Hanoi Jeep Tours is the one-of-a-kind excursion for you!
Venice has gondolas, Paris has 2CVs, Rome has Fiats, and in Hanoi, we have the legendary Soviet-era Jeep UAZ469 of the Vietnamese People's Army. The Gaz69 Jeep was a legend of the Soviet Bloc and the Vietnamese Army in the 1950s and 1960s; to this day, any remaining Gaz69 is definitely a national antique, as the last ones were built in 1971.
Sit back, relax, and be amazed in the back of a VPA Legendary Jeep UAZ469 as our expert driver and guide shows you Hanoi's highlights. We can also show you some of the capital's hidden gems—places you never knew existed. We expose you to the real Hanoi, showcasing the good, the bad, and the weird. Plus, along the way, you might get the chance to sample some of the city's best street food.
Itinerary:
Our tour begins at your hotel and just outside Hanoi's Old Quarter. You'll be met by our guide and driver in your hotel lobby or at our meeting point for a safety briefing. Then, we'll begin our adventure!
In the first part of our Hanoi Jeep Tours, we expose you to the REAL HANOI with a day of life experiences, introducing you to the unknown parts of the city with slices of life in the maze of backstreets, tiny alleys, local houses, schools, random markets, and black markets, experiencing where and how locals live, work, and play. Other tour companies only show you the beauty and tell you to avoid the bad and strange of their destinations. On Hanoi Backstreet Tours, we not only show you the good, but also expose the bad and strange of your destinations, because that's what it is. For us, the run-of-the-mill tourist spots are just the tip of the iceberg; most of your destinations remain hidden in the unknown parts.
In the second part of Hanoi Jeep Tours, we pass and stop at the MUST-SEE places of our beautiful city, such as Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum - the Mecca of Vietnamese, the 1000-year-old Buddhist and Taoist temples of Tran Quoc, the Temple of Literature, the historic Train Street, the charming French Quarter, the bustling Old Quarter, the romantic lakes of Hoan Kiem, the West Lake, the Hanoi Opera House and the famous Long Bien Bridge, etc.
On the last part of the Hanoi jeep tours, along the way, you will stop at different AUTHENTIC restaurants, eateries and food stalls to taste Hanoi's tastiest dishes, including family heirloom and secret recipe dishes, local delicacies and specialties.
