Tour description
An approximately 17 km cycling trip on flat terrain, combining Hanoi's most famous landmarks with its lesser-known corners. You will cycle across the century-old Long Bien Bridge, descend to the Red River middle island—a peaceful rural retreat right in the heart of the city—then pedal along West Lake and Thanh Nien Street before returning to the Old Quarter.
Along the way, stop at a local market to sample tropical fruits, pause at Huu Tiep Lake in Ngoc Ha flower village to see the preserved B-52 wreckage, visit a local Hanoi family, and ride past landmarks including the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, the Presidential Palace, Ba Dinh Square, the Hanoi Flag Tower, the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long, Tran Quoc Pagoda, Truc Bach Lake, Hoan Kiem Lake, and the Hanoi Opera House.
The final highlight of the journey is the famous Train Street, where local homes sit inches from the railway tracks, before enjoying lunch at a local restaurant and savoring authentic egg coffee.
Daily group tours run with morning and afternoon departures; private tours are available for a small surcharge, and an e-bike option is available (USD 25 surcharge).
