Meet our guide and drivers at your hotel. We watch and listen to our guide for safe bike riding techniques & things we need to notice while we are riding on our Vespa and where to get on the Vespa the easiest way and how to sit comfortably. We ride to the must-see landmarks of Hanoi and the hidden parts of this great city which is full of culture and history.
Walk along the legendary 150 years old train tracks to visit a local neighborhood where people live only 1 meter to the side. Quench our thirst with some glass of national drink Bia Hoi before taking a short cruise to West Lake for the cool breeze. We continue by Zigzagging through the narrow alleys to the Huu Tiep Lake. where an air-craft was shot down in 1972 and till lying in the lake in the middle of a quiet neighborhood. On our trip we will visit a local family and have a chance to talk to the owner who is a war veteran about his interesting stories of our country from his childhood to modern Vietnam and its legacy as well as learn more about Vietnamese culture and customs.
For lunch we eat in local eateries and family run business to support local community and to enjoy the authentic dishes where locals love to hang out with their friends. Special Egg coffee cafe dated back since 1946.
