We saw the main sights from the side car. The driver explained things clearly. It was good fun and felt safe as went slowly and the driver was good. 2 hours was enough. Went to train street and saw train pass at the end.

Super fun, novel and a treat for the kids
Super fun, novel and fun for kids of all ages. There were four of us including a 4year old and we sat on 3 Vespas. Me and my daughter sat in the sidecar together. The Vespas were held up a little but Mark our guide WhatsApped to update me. The tour was a breath of fresh air and we didn't have to stop and visit all of the sites, just mostly driving by and hearing a little bit about it. The other 2 riders didn't have very strong command of English but they were friendly and helpful nonetheless. Highlight at the end of the tour was a visit to Cafe Giang for the famous Egg Coffee with our guide Mark. We enjoyed chatting with him and felt safe in their hands. Would definitely recommend and do this tour again. In the summer, suggest to do the morning tours before it gets too hot. Enjoy!
Response from the operator: We're thrilled to have you as a customer. Thank you for choosing our services. We promise to keep exceeding your expectations.

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Small Group Vespa Sidecar Tour in Hanoi: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does Small Group Vespa Sidecar Tour in Hanoi cost?
+
Prices start at $46 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 Small Group Vespa Sidecar Tour in Hanoi take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Small Group Vespa Sidecar Tour in Hanoi worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 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 Small Group Vespa Sidecar Tour in Hanoi?
+
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 Small Group Vespa Sidecar Tour in Hanoi suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Small Group Vespa Sidecar Tour in Hanoi?
+
Around 3 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Small Group Vespa Sidecar Tour in Hanoi 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.
