Hanoi Best Vespa Tour Itinerary

Part 1 – Dawn Departure & Long Bien Bridge

Meet your warm and knowledgeable English-speaking female guide at 5:30 AM right at your hotel. Following a brief safety briefing, settle onto your classic Vespa and set off through Hanoi’s tranquil, early-morning streets, where the city is just beginning to stir. Your first stop is the iconic Long Bien Bridge, an architectural marvel dating back to 1902. As you glide across its iron spans, witness the breathtaking spectacle of the sun rising over the winding Red River, casting golden hues across the water. Take in the sights of fishermen casting their nets, vendors setting up colorful stalls, and locals embarking on their daily routines. The peaceful hum of life here creates a serene yet vibrant backdrop, perfectly framing your introduction to Hanoi’s rhythm.

Part 2 – Banana Island & Lakeside Serenity

Leave behind the urban rush as you glide onto the lush, green sanctuary of Banana Island, an unexpected agricultural oasis nestled within the city’s outskirts. Here, the air is fresh and fragrant with the scent of vegetable gardens and towering banana trees swaying gently in the breeze. Ride along quiet dirt paths lined with rows of beans, cornfields, and thriving farms, catching a rare glimpse of Hanoi’s rural heartbeat. Soon, you’ll rejoin the city’s embrace along the shimmering shores of West Lake and Trúc Bạch Lake, two of Hanoi’s most picturesque water bodies. As you cruise by, admire ancient pagodas peeking through foliage and majestic banyan trees stretching their roots into the earth. Pause on Thanh Niên Road for a perfect photo opportunity — the serene lakeside views combined with historic architecture offer a timeless scene that captures the city’s poetic charm.

Part 3 – Markets, History & Monuments

Dive headfirst into the bustling energy of a lively morning market, where vibrant stalls overflow with tropical fruits, fresh herbs, and local delicacies. Sample seasonal treats and savor the rich aromas as your guide introduces you to the rhythms of daily life in Hanoi. Next, journey to Ngọc Hà Village to see the hauntingly beautiful, moss-covered wreckage of a B-52 bomber resting submerged in the calm waters of Hữu Tiệp Lake — a poignant reminder of the city’s complex past set against a peaceful village backdrop. Your ride continues past some of Hanoi’s most revered landmarks: the solemn Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, the stately Presidential Palace, the towering Flag Tower, the ancient Trấn Quốc Pagoda, the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Thăng Long Imperial Citadel, and the elegant Hanoi Opera House. Each stop offers a window into the rich cultural tapestry and historical legacy that shape the city’s identity.

Part 4 – Hanoi Train Street & Breakfast Finale

Conclude your unforgettable journey at the world-famous Hanoi Train Street, where the railway thread runs astonishingly close to quaint cafés and narrow residential homes. Feel the thrill and pulse of the city as a train rumbles past just inches away from where you sit — an exhilarating and uniquely Hanoi experience that few places on earth can match. After the excitement fades, settle into a cozy local eatery for a traditional Vietnamese breakfast featuring classic dishes like fragrant pho or crispy banh mi. Complement your meal with a cup of Hanoi’s signature egg coffee, a rich, creamy concoction blending strong Vietnamese coffee with whipped egg yolk, delivering a perfectly balanced sweet finish. By 8:30 AM, you’ll be returned to your hotel, filled with vivid memories of Hanoi’s hidden gems, vibrant culture, and warm hospitality.
