Lake of the Restored Sword (Hoan Kiem Lake)
Lying in the centre of Hanoi‘s historic district, Hoan Kiem Lake is a lovely, peaceful place with a fascinating history. In 1428, legend has it that Emperor Le Loi obtained a magical sword from the Dragon King to fight against Chinese oppressors. The sword, as you may have guessed, came from Hoan Kiem lake. At this stop, we will have a chance to see “Ly Thai To Monument”. This is a cultural and architectural work which aims to honour King Ly Thai To (974 – 1028). He is the first king who found Capital Citadel of Thang Long (Hanoi today).

St. Joseph's Cathedral
Saint Joseph Cathedral, located at 40 Nha Chung street, Hanoi, is a Roman Catholic cathedral with neo- gothic style, which was built about 120 years ago. Construction began in 1886, with the architectural style described as resembling Notre Dame de Paris. The church was one of the first structures built by the French colonial government in Indochina when it opened in December 1886.

West Lake
West Lake is known as Hanoi’s largest freshwater lake. It’s a huge body of water – it has a circumference of 17km – and there are plenty of historic places of interest, five-star hotels, stylish restaurants, cafes, and nightlife venues that are worth exploring along the shoreline. The West Lake is bordered by several significant pagodas. Vietnam’s oldest pagoda, Tran Quoc pagoda, was built in the 6th century and is located on an island in the middle of the West Lake. On this tour, Tran Quoc Pagoda is one of the places that cannot be missed.
15 minutes here
Huu Tiep Lake and the Downed B-52
We will then have a quick visit to the B52 plane crash site. This is a remarkable victory of Vietnam soldiers during the Vietnam war. You will also get to visit a local market nearby to see daily activities of the Hanoians.
Pass by without stopping
Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum
Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum is the final resting place of Ho Chi Minh, the most iconic and popular leader of Vietnam, known to his people as ‘Uncle Ho’. His body is preserved here in a glass case at the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum in central Hanoi. At this stop, while you can take some time to see the attraction from outside and take pictures, our tour guide will fill you in with more stories about our Uncle Ho & the historical information. Note: Please keep in mind that we do not go inside the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum on “Hanoi City sights and street food”tour. This attraction requires a lot of time to fully appreciate so we recommend that you visit them on your own so that we can make the most of time you have with us.

Wonderful tour of Hanoi
For my first visit to Vietnam, this tour was highly recommended by a friend and it did not disappoint! I was very happy with the Paloma company's booking process and their flexibility with picking us up right at our hotel and responding to any requests I had. They made the entire process very easy for a first time visitor. On the tour, my colleagues and I got a great introduction to Hanoi and saw much more on the scooters than you could ever see in a car or by foot or bicycle. We saw all the major sights, drove through narrow alleys and markets in the old quarter, and stopped to taste some iconic Vietnamese dishes along the way (egg coffee and Bún Chả just to name a few). It was amazing how much we saw and ate in only a few hours! I was also very impressed by our skillful and very friendly drivers. We felt very safe with them and even though I've driven motorcycles and scooters, I would not drive one in Hanoi -leave it to these drivers to navigate the streets and traffic!). I highly recommend this to anyone traveling to Hanoi and look forward to booking another outing with them on my next business trip here.
Response from the operator: Dear Mr/ Mrs. Aks _Tra On behalf of Asia Eyes Travel, I am Thuc Nguyen. I would like to sincerely thank you for your wonderful review on TripAdvisor. I am delighted to hear that you enjoyed your trip with us in Hanoi. I truly hope to have the opportunity to welcome you, your family, and your friends on another journey with us to my beautiful country in the future. Best regards, Thuc Nguyen

Hanoi motorbike fun
This was an amazing way to see the beautiful city of Hanoi. Myself and four others all of mixed ages (15 - 55) took part in the motorbike tour and it was great for all ages! The tour itself was brilliant, we went all around Hanoi and even stopped off at a few different sites for a cold drink, Vietnamese food and egg coffee! Not only was it a great way to see the city but also to learn a bit. Our drivers were all so great and made us feel safe but also did a good job at explaining where we’re and what we were seeing. If you want to see more of the city then this is an awesome way!
Response from the operator: Dear Mr. Kahu, On behalf of Paloma Motorbike Team, I am Thuc Nguyen, I would like to say thank you very much for your review about your scooter trip with us to explore and experience Hanoi food and drink. I do hope that we have chance to see you and your friends come with us next time. Once again, I would like to say thank you very much and I am looking forward to seeing you next time. Regards Thuc Nguyen (+84)935946688

Exploring Hanoi through a local lens!
We had an amazing experience on this tour. We’re a group of 6 (mixed ages 15 - 50 years) and everyone loved it. It was an amazing way to see Hanoi through a different lens and explore more than a normal tourist would. We also had the most incredible drivers which made the experience fun, learning about the history behind buildings and what certain things were. The girls answered all our questions and always were smiling. Would highly recommend for anyone who’s wanting to explore Hanoi a bit more! (Not to mention the egg coffee stop was great)
Response from the operator: Dear Mr/Mrs. Tia A On behalf of Asia Eyes Travel, I am Thuc Nguyen. I would like to sincerely thank you for your wonderful review on TripAdvisor. I am delighted to hear that you enjoyed your trip with us in Hanoi. I truly hope to have the opportunity to welcome you, your family, and your friends on another journey with us to my beautiful country in the future. Best regards, Thuc Nguyen

Excellent food and sights tour of Hanoi!
My friends and I decided last minute to do a food and sights tour of Hanoi and we’re so happy that we did! Paloma Motorbike Tours was such a fun way to see the city. Tracey was our tour guide and brought us to so many must see places in Hanoi with a great history and description of each place. Thin was my driver and was so much fun to drive around town with. She was a great driver and knew a lot about the city and buildings that we drive past on our tour. Tracey brought us to excellent restaurants in Hanoi and ordered us delicious food that we would have never thought to try ourselves. She was really respectful of our dietary restrictions as well. This tour was a great way to spend a morning and a must for anyone visiting Hanoi!
Response from the operator: Dear Mrs. Skye C On behalf of Paloma Motorbike Tours team, I am Thuc Nguyen, I would like to say thank you very much from bottom of my heart for your good commend. I am myself and my motorbike team will try our best to improve our services day by day and hope that we have chance to serve you and your friend to my country next time. Regards Thuc Nguyen

Must do food & sights tour on motorbike
Booked this tour last minute through the Delicacy Hotel, and we were quite pleased with the outcome! Tracey was the tour guide who was absolutely amazing. She was punctual, friendly and very knowledgeable about Vietnam and the city of Hanoi. Vinh was my personal motor bike driver for the tour and I couldn’t have asked for better! She was a great driver and made me feel so safe in such a city of crazy traffic. She pointed out all the important buildings and things to see along the way. Overall the tour was the perfect amount of time with good stops! Tracey picked the best local restaurant for us to have lunch. The food was authentic local Vietnamese and she catered to the food allergies of the group without issue. 100% would recommend this tour!!!

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hanoi City Sightseeing and Street Food Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does Hanoi City Sightseeing and Street Food Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $59 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 City Sightseeing and Street Food Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4.5 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 City Sightseeing and Street Food Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 22 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 City Sightseeing and Street Food Tour?
+
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 City Sightseeing and Street Food Tour 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 4.5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Hanoi City Sightseeing and Street Food Tour?
+
Around 8 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 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hanoi City Sightseeing and Street Food Tour 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 Ninh Binh Day Trip from Hanoi with Tam Coc or Trang An & Mua Cave, Ha Giang Loop Tour 4 Days 3 Nights with Ha Giang Vision Tour, Halong Bay Day Tour With Titop Island, Cave, Kayak & Lunch. 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.
