Backstreets of Hanoi Tour Itinerary:

Stage 1: Warm Welcome & City Streets
You’ll be greeted by our friendly guide and drivers at your hotel for a quick safety briefing and a detailed overview of your upcoming journey. Then the adventure begins! We’ll navigate Hanoi’s intricate web of alleyways and narrow backstreets, revealing the city’s hidden corners and everyday local life. As we weave through the bustling urban landscape, you’ll see iconic landmarks like the Hanoi Opera House and the remains of a B-52 bomber downed during the Vietnam War — now resting silently in a peaceful lake.

Stage 2: Hidden Markets & Colonial Heritage
As we explore deeper into the heart of the city, you’ll catch a glimpse of Hanoi’s vibrant markets — full of energy, color, and the rhythm of daily life. From vendors shouting over fresh produce to locals chatting over noodles, it’s a feast for the senses. We then ride past Long Bien Bridge, a lasting symbol of French colonial engineering and resilience, offering panoramic views of the Red River and beyond.

Stage 3: Countryside Escape & Bia Hoi Stop
Leaving the hustle behind, we head toward Hanoi’s peaceful outskirts. You’ll find yourself surrounded by open farmland, lush gardens, and shady groves of banana and guava trees as we cruise down dirt paths into the city’s agricultural heart — a rare and refreshing side of Hanoi. Before we leave this serene part of town, we’ll pause to enjoy a cold glass of Bia Hoi, Hanoi’s signature draft beer, freshly brewed and served in true local fashion.

Stage 4: Lakeside Ride & Local Delights
We continue along the breezy shores of West Lake, taking in scenic views and the cool air before entering the narrow lanes that lead to Huu Tiep Lake and the iconic Reunification Train Track. There, life unfolds just inches from the railway — a unique sight that captures the charm and energy of the city. Your whirlwind bike tour concludes with a delicious local lunch and a visit to a cozy café to enjoy a traditional Vietnamese egg coffee, the perfect sweet finale to an unforgettable ride.
