Great Food, Great Guide, Great Tour
We had a fantastic time! Our guide, Louis, was excellent; he was friendly, knowledgeable, and provided so much interesting information about history, culture, and daily life. The food stops were great, giving us the chance to try many delicious local dishes. The whole experience was enjoyable, well-organized, and a great way to explore parts of the city that we wouldn't have been able to find on our own. We highly recommend this tour!

Best Back Street tour in Hanoi
Our tour guide Tuna did an amazing job. I had a wild and crazy ride with Quang he did a marvellous job (thank goodness I did not have to drive). Really, really enjoyed the whole experience. Plus the food and the end was top quality. two thumbs up.

One of the best tours ever done 5*
We had the best day with the best drivers and guide. Johnny met us at the hotel and we were introduced to our drivers. My driver was Sean. He was very experienced and safe. We did a whole tour of the city. Not once did we split up from each other. I would highly recommend this tour to anybody on their first days in Hanoi to get a good view of the city where to go and what to do.

Best way to see Hanoi! (Super fun and safe)
Our tour was led by Johnny and he was amazing. Both drivers were very kind and accommodating and made us feel very safe on the trip. Was very fun and Johnny was super well spoken and very knowledgeable about all topics. Best way to see Hanoi for sure. We saw everything we wanted to and now have a much better knowledge of the city. Very generous providing cold water and beverages on the way. Highly recommend to anyone coming to Hanoi to book this experience!

Hanoi Backstreet Motorbike Tour
Such an excellent tour. So well thought out, thorough and fun. Felt super safe. Guide (Johnny) was very knowledgeable and friendly. Literally couldn’t recommend it more, I reckon it’s the best way to see Hanoi!

Why this scores 85
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hanoi Motorbike Tour: Hanoi HIGHTLIGHTS & HIDDEN GEMS: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does Hanoi Motorbike Tour: Hanoi HIGHTLIGHTS & HIDDEN GEMS cost?
+
Prices start at $47 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 Motorbike Tour: Hanoi HIGHTLIGHTS & HIDDEN GEMS 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 Motorbike Tour: Hanoi HIGHTLIGHTS & HIDDEN GEMS worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 430 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 Motorbike Tour: Hanoi HIGHTLIGHTS & HIDDEN GEMS?
+
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 Motorbike Tour: Hanoi HIGHTLIGHTS & HIDDEN GEMS suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hanoi Motorbike Tour: Hanoi HIGHTLIGHTS & HIDDEN GEMS?
+
Around 151 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 Motorbike Tour: Hanoi HIGHTLIGHTS & HIDDEN GEMS 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.
