Phung Hung Mural Street
The Phung Hung street in Hanoi’s Old Quarter has been recently revived with beautiful mural paintings recalling Hanoi in the past. It just opened to the public in early February 2018 which is why very few photos of Hanoi contains photos of this street, it is now a favourite photo location and cultural space for city dwellers and visitors. Actually, when we were there a lot of teachers were celebrating Teachers Day taking photos with the murals as background. This is a nice spot to take photos of the landmarks in Hanoi.

A special and unique place in the walk around West Lake. The two dragons are a two-part sculpture situated in the water, relatively close to shore. It was built in 2010 for the celebration of one-thousand-year Hanoi. They are covered in tiles representing their scales. There are cafes, as well as ice cream and food vendors nearby, and it's a pleasant spot to relax.

Highly recommended
Great introduction to Hà Nội with a little bit of everything and a great way to get your bearings. Brian was knowledgeable (he’s an essentially a local after 10 years!) but not overbearing. Not just book knowledge but genuine local insight. Really gives the impression he’s enjoying the tour as much as you. Where you go seems to be based on the initial chat, so highly personalised whilst still having a relaxed vibe. Never once felt unsafe as a non bike rider on the back of Brian’s bike. Quite the opposite actually and it’s the perfect way to get a feel for the city. Great food locations, a bit of history and some sights. Perfect way of spending an evening. Worth the price for sure.

Brilluant Hanoi bike tour
We deferred this tour due to heavy rain and flooding on the original date and road closures around Hanoi due to the 80th Anniversay Parade rehersals. On the day of our tour, weather was perfect. Vu & Phuong our guides/drivers collected us on their bikes and away we went. A real adventure all around Okd Town, French Qtr and Westlake. Stopped for a coffee by the central lake, then Art St - fantastic, over the Red River and back, dinner, a stop for a ciconut ice cream, John McCain memorial, Lowering of the Flag at Ho Chi Minh mausoleum them a beer on the way back to the hotel. Navigating Hanoi traffic on a scooter was part of the fun, even a bit hair-raising at times. Great tour, one of the best we have done.

Best fun on a Vespa
Had an absolute ball. Friday late afternoon and night navigating all the traffic with the best guide, Nick. I felt so safe in Nick’s capable hands. He took me to the best places, ate the most delicious food and shared lots of stories and laughs. Cannot rest his tour enough.

Hanoi Sunset Foodie Tour by Scooter: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does Hanoi Sunset Foodie Tour by Scooter cost?
+
Prices start at $42 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 Sunset Foodie Tour by Scooter 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 Sunset Foodie Tour by Scooter worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 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 Sunset Foodie Tour by Scooter?
+
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 Sunset Foodie Tour by Scooter suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 5. 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 Sunset Foodie Tour by Scooter?
+
Around 4 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 Sunset Foodie Tour by Scooter 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.
