Fun and food!
Ben and Elena were wonderful hosts for our culinary adventure in Hanoi. We sampled a great selection of local dishes. Zipping around on motorbikes just added to the thrills. We finished our evening with a stop on Train Street for a coffee. Our young hosts were such sweet and kind individuals. I thoroughly recommend this tour. We left at 6:30pm and were back at 10pm .

Awesome tour, thoroughly recommended.
We thoroughly enjoyed riding around the streets of Hanoi, visiting places we'd never have tried and dishes we wouldn't have known to order but which provided some of the best food that we tried in Vietnam. We were a variety of ages and sizes but never felt unsafe or uncomfortable on the motorscooters. The tour leader also showed us the neighborhood in which he grew up which was fascinating and a side of the city most tourists would never see but we were really pleased to see an authentic view of life in Hanoi. Thank you to Lina and all the other drivers.

Fun, Authentic & Good
The food was great and so were the guides. It was personal, the food was outstanding and not touristy - it was exactly what I was looking for. It was a trip to experience and be a part of Hanoi's scooter lifestyle. I would recommend it and do it again.

Fun and informative
This was such a fun and informative tour. We were picked up promptly by our guides Tommy and Logan, kitted up and off we went into nighttime Hanoi. We started with the most amazing fried spring rolls and shrimp pancakes and from there mixed eating delicious food with seeing the main sites of The City. The tour lasted about 4 hours and the time flew by. Would definitely repeat.

Hanoi delights - delicious tastes and lovely guides 🫶🏽
This was so much fun and so completely delicious. We loved being on the scooters to get around town and the foods were amazing. We also loved that in between the delicious tastings, there were interesting stops at points around town. Our wonderful lead tour guide, Minh, adjusted the tour to avoid repeating some things that we had already seen on a different tour. We were super grateful for that flexibility. We would never have known on our own where to go, what to order, or how to eat some of the foods that were novel to us. We really appreciated the local knowledge.
Response from the operator: Dear Valued Customer, Thank you for sharing your delightful experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that you had so much fun and enjoyed the delicious food during the scooter tour. It's wonderful that the tour included interesting stops around town, providing you with a well-rounded experience. We're glad to hear that Minh, your lead tour guide, added to the enjoyment by adjusting the tour to avoid repetition and offering valuable local knowledge. If there's anything else we can assist you with or if you plan to explore more in the future, feel free to reach out. We look forward to the opportunity to serve you again.

Hanoi City Street Food Night Tour by Motorscooter: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does Hanoi City Street Food Night Tour by Motorscooter cost?
+
Prices start at $51 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 Street Food Night Tour by Motorscooter take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Street Food Night Tour by Motorscooter worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 43 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 Street Food Night Tour by Motorscooter?
+
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 Street Food Night Tour by Motorscooter suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hanoi City Street Food Night Tour by Motorscooter?
+
Around 15 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hanoi City Street Food Night Tour by Motorscooter 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 City Street Food Night Tour by Motorscooter?
+
Included: Helmet and rain poncho; Personal tour guide; All food and drink (non alcoholic and alcoholic); Hotel pickup and drop-off from central Hanoi hotels; and Transportation by motorbike (driven by your guide). Not included: Pick-up or Drop-off to/from outside of city center (Mariotte Hotel/ Twin Tower Hotel Hoang. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 358 listed pickup locations in and around Hanoi. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Hanoi City Street Food Night Tour by Motorscooter offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
