What an incredible day! 1000% recommend! Our tour guide James and drivers Alex, Mabo, Bin, and Cuong were so professional and knowledgeable, made us feel safe and welcome, and showed us the BEST time! We stopped for coffee/tea three times, saw all the best sites (especially ones we’d never have seen otherwise), and James gave us all the history. His English is perfect! The vespas are so fun, really well cared for, and surprisingly comfortable! They even posed us for photos on the bridge and printed them! Book this tour now, you won’t regret it!

This is the third time we have ridden with Vespa adventures. Our first experience was in Saigon then Siem Reap and now Hanoi. All have been brilliant. They take you round the back streets where you see how the locals live and how they shop as well as taking you to iconic sites and pointing out places along the way. Our tour guide Andy spoke very good English, he spoke slowly and clearly and was very knowledgeable and talked about the history of Hanoi and the culture. Our drivers Hex and Tim were also brilliant and pointed out places along the way as we rode round Hanoi. We ended with a tea ceremony which we would never had done if we had not gone on this adventure. Thankyou Andy, Hex and Tim.

Nhi was my guide and Brian was my Vespa driver. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with them, seeing Hanoi by Vespa. We visited Saint Joseph’s Cathedral, which was built by the French to resemble Notre Dame of Paris. We stopped at a shop that prepares and sells Vietnamese sticky rice as tasty treats for all sorts of occasions. We crossed the Long Bien Bridge, which was the first bridge built across a river in Asia, built by the French in 1902. We visited the location where an American B-52 was shot down during the Vietnam War, and part of the plane dropped into what is now a lake memorial as a remembrance of the casualties during the war. Our final stop was to relax and meditate, and then enjoy traditional Vietnamese tea at Hien Minh Tea house. All in all, it was a wonderful morning tour of just a sampling of what Hanoi has to offer travelers from around the world…. Thank you Original Vespa Adventures!

We had a phenomenal evening on the Hanoi After Dark food tour. Our drivers, Mai and Davidd, made sure that we felt completely comfortable and safe the entire time. Seeing the city lit up at night was really wonderful and such a change from the hustle and bustle of daytime. There were five stops, and each stop had a delicious variety of food and drink. Every dish was delectable, and we were taught exactly how to eat each dish to maximize its flavor. We also got to see some famous sites, including the cathedral and train street, and got to take home a little souvenir of a flattened bottle cap. We ended the night at a bar with a live band which was excellent and sang all the top hits. We were surprised with a bouquet of roses for our honeymoon and photos of our evening together; they really made the entire night seamless. Minh, our guide, was incredibly informative and funny. The tour was well paced, and we did not feel rushed at any moment. We were both more than satisfied. This was the best food tour we’ve ever done. Cannot recommend this tour enough!

This was AMAZING! I highly recommend them. I had the best time! Andy and Anh were so professional, friendly, kind, welcoming and just wonderful! This tour has been my highlight of my very short visit to Vietnam. I was taken to local spots- and you know these were local because I only saw locals eating there. The choice of restaurants and food truly the best! I will be using them again and will be recommending this to all my friends who plan on visiting Hanoi in the future! Thanks so much!

An absolute must for anyone visiting Hanoi. My wife needed lots of convincing before jumping on the back of a Vespa. We'd experienced the busy streets of Hanoi, and she was dubious at first. That was soon forgotten after we hit the roads with Harry and Duc. We also had a fantastic guide that told us about Vietnamese culture, life and culinary delights. The bikes met us at our hotel, and the 1st stop was St Joseph's Cathedral. We enjoyed drinks and I tried my 1st egg coffee which was delightful. We then headed to the restaurant that was visited by Obama and Anthony Bourdain. We sampled the lovely Bun Cha before hitting the roads again, and visiting Train Street and watching the train go past. We sampled some lovely Vietnamese culinary delights on an island in Hanoi. It was then off to watch a live band playing to musical requests, before being dropped off back at the hotel. This is an absolute must.

What a great tour of Hanoi by our wonderful guide Minh and our drivers Teddy and Jacob. They did a great job getting us safely around the city and giving us a glimpse into Vietnamese life and traditions. Minh was very knowledgeable and did a great job explaining the significance of the different areas we visited. Highly recommend this tour especially if it’s your first time to Vietnam like it was for us!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolute Highlight of my Hanoi Trip! Whipping through the chaotic, neon-lit streets on the back of a vintage Vespa was the ultimate way to experience Hanoi’s electric nightlife. Tour guide, Kevin, was phenomenal, his deep knowledge of Hanoian street food culture and passionate storytelling turned the evening into an unforgettable culinary masterclass, with every stop serving up incredible, authentic local flavors. The entire experience felt completely seamless and exhilarating thanks to Minh, a masterful driver who navigated Hanoi's synchronized traffic with absolute ease. I felt entirely safe and comfortable the whole time, allowing me to just sit back, soak in the vibrant atmosphere, and enjoy the thrill of the ride. For a flawless blend of high-octane fun and world-class street food, this tour is an absolute must-do. Make sure to ask for Kevin and Minh!
