Hanoi is much bigger than just the Old Quarter. Even though it’s the center of the capital, rich in history and culture, the Old Quarter is still just a small part of the city. Get on a motorbike, we will take you outside and show you areas that most travelers don’t get to see. It’s a different feeling on our motorbikes, going through some lesser known spots, cultural sites while our local Hanoian tour guides explain all about the history of the thousand-year-old city. Besides, you’ll also have the chance to taste some exquisite street food too!

    A Highly Recommended Tour

    This was an excellent tour. Bao was an extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and pleasant guide. The food we sampled was great as well. Overall, a highly recommended tour.

    Phenomenal food and sightseeing tour

    This was AMAZING! Patrick was a lovely tour guide (and driver). He asked me what food I wanted to try and accomodated my desire to try weirder / less mainstream Vietnamese cuisine. He also was fun to speak with and was a wealth of knowledge about Ha Noi. I was a bit freaked out to be on a motorbike but felt completely safe at all times. I highly recommend this tour and Patrick.

    unique way to see the city

    Ben and Boa were amazing tour guides! What a unique and fun way to see the city and as the day warmed up, it was much preferred over a walking tour which is our usual choice. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    Private food tour by motorbike

    I am Vietnamese American and lived in Vietnam many years ago. I was visiting Ha Noi with my American wife who never been to Vietnam but has had lots of exposure to Viet foods. This private Motorbike food tour was perfect for us. It was personalized for our needs. 2 drivers with just us 2. We had fun traveling on the backs of our guides motorbikes. Chung Hoang was our main guide and spoke excellent Vietnamese. We got delicious local food and visited locations we would not have done on our own. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone!

    DO THIS!!!

    Looking back on 4 days in Hanoi in a group of 7 work friends this was the best activity we did. A bunch of lads all rocked up on mopeds and it was 4 hours of history and awesome local eats only a local could find. At times crazy laneway action. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

    Private Hanoi Motorbike Sightseeing and Food Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.

    How much does Private Hanoi Motorbike Sightseeing and Food Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $55 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 Private Hanoi Motorbike Sightseeing and Food Tour 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 Private Hanoi Motorbike Sightseeing and Food Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 206 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 Private Hanoi Motorbike Sightseeing and 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 Private Hanoi Motorbike Sightseeing and Food Tour 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 Private Hanoi Motorbike Sightseeing and Food Tour?

    +

    Around 72 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 Private Hanoi Motorbike Sightseeing and 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 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 Private Hanoi Motorbike Sightseeing and Food Tour?

    +

    Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Bottled water; Driver/guide; Tea and coffee; and All activities. Not included: Drinks; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Private Hanoi Motorbike Sightseeing and Food Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 1186 listed pickup locations in and around Hanoi. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Private Hanoi Motorbike Sightseeing and Food Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Is Private Hanoi Motorbike Sightseeing and Food Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    What happens to Private Hanoi Motorbike Sightseeing and Food Tour if the weather is bad?
