Exploring Hanoi by Motorbike Including Lunch

Our tour guide picks you up at your hotel in Hanoi downtown. You will then move to get your own motorbike or you can ride on the back of the bike. You can choose your own desired itinerary out of these following options:

Option 1: Classic Hanoi city

Our tour starts with a visit to the first national University of Vietnam, the Temple of Literature which was built in the 10th century under the Ly Dynasty and greatly influenced by Confucianism. The following stop is Quan Su Pagoda, the head-quarter of Vietnam Buddhist Sangha where many important Vietnamese Buddhist activities are held. After leaving the architectural and cultural spots, you will experience the daily life of Hanoians at the bustling and noisy Thinh Yen Flea Market. Next, lunch/dinner will be served at a Hanoi traditional restaurant. After a short rest you will continue your motorbike itinerary to visit the Hanoi 36 Old Streets which make up the old quarter.

This half-day tour will end at Dong Xuan Market, one of the biggest and oldest markets in Hanoi. Where you can do some shopping before returning to your hotel.

Option 2: West Lake Route

We travel approximately 17 kilometers around the West Lake. You will visit ancient pagodas and temples in the surrounding area, including Tran Quoc, Tu Lien, Tao Sach pagodas and Phu Tay Ho, Mau Lieu Hanh temples. You can enjoy some free time to relax in a lakeside coffee shop for some Vietnamese coffee and tea. The best time to go the West Lake Route motorbike tour is in Spring and Autumn when the view of West Lake turns to be romantic and poetic with cool breezes, refreshing smell of grass and the powdered gold sunshine. Lunch will be at one of Hanoi's restaurants serving traditional cuisine.

Tour options can be chosen on the day and maybe dependent on traffic conditions on the day.
