A amazing jeep tour with Summi, Michael and Kai today. We had a outstanding day tour.

Private tour by Vespa scooter across Hanoi
If I could give 6 stars to Shang and his team I would. We travelled by Vespa on an all day tour around the countryside surrounding Hanoi and the city in the afternoon. Shang is a superb tour guide, very knowledgeable also very funny and this tour is definitely a massive highlight of our time in Vietnam. If you come to Hanoi just do this trip with Shang and his company, it was brilliant from start to finish Tim Adkin and Sandra Blenkarn-Adkin

Amazing tour!
I took the countryside tour with jeep. Countryside tour is more chill and out from the busy streets in city center. The tour was amazing. The tour guide, her name is Happy, was amazing, explain well the stories behind each place that we have visited and take care us well. The tour guide brought us to countryside, rice field, see the buffalos, temples and visit local home with bonsai trees. Feel more connection and appreciation of local people and culture.

Fun Vespa Tour
This was a great way to see the city and countryside! The tour covered rice fields, oldest home in Ha Noi, some amazing temples, B52 Victory Museum, and the famous train street. Sit back, relax, and enjoy being scootered around with your tour guide. I was lucky to have Shang as my driver/tour guide. He was so knowledgeable about the city and the country’s history as well as being an awesome driver!

Hanoi Back Street Vespa Tours: Full Day Vespa Tours: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does Hanoi Back Street Vespa Tours: Full Day Vespa Tours cost?
+
Prices start at $115 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hanoi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Hanoi Back Street Vespa Tours: Full Day Vespa Tours take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hanoi is not rushed.
Is Hanoi Back Street Vespa Tours: Full Day Vespa Tours worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 15 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hanoi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hanoi Back Street Vespa Tours: Full Day Vespa Tours?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Hanoi Back Street Vespa Tours: Full Day Vespa Tours suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 8-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Hanoi Back Street Vespa Tours: Full Day Vespa Tours?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hanoi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hanoi and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hanoi Back Street Vespa Tours: Full Day Vespa Tours start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hanoi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hanoi?
+
On Outty we rank every Hanoi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ha Giang Loop 3-Day Small Group - from Hanoi, (Group/Individual) HANOI STREET FOOD TOUR, Incense Village Quang Phu Cau, Hat Village and Hanoi City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hanoi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hanoi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Hanoi Back Street Vespa Tours: Full Day Vespa Tours?
+

Does Hanoi Back Street Vespa Tours: Full Day Vespa Tours include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 566 listed pickup locations in and around Hanoi. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Hanoi Back Street Vespa Tours: Full Day Vespa Tours offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Hanoi Back Street Vespa Tours: Full Day Vespa Tours?
+
