1. Backstreet Ride: Get to know Hanoi's lesser-known areas
We'll drive through a maze of passageways only locals know about, make introductions, and learn about the behind-the-scenes stories;
- Riding through the labyrinth of zigzagging backstreets, narrow alleyways, and markets;
- Traveling with all of your senses on high alert: observing, hearing, touching, tasting, smelling;
- Experiencing various slides of life behind the scenes, the hidden part of the iceberg, and the unknown parts;

3. Middle Island:
Due to the quantity of water in the Red River, the island was built by a warp, offering shelter for many fishermen. This is a run-down neighborhood with no electricity or running water. We'll show you how life is very different on the other side of the mountain.

After having tried walking down the old town, touring parts of the city by minibus, using the motorbikes was by far the best experience. The 4h tour was spectacular, with super well chosen stops, from typical restaurant and coffee shops, to the countryside, to the colonial bridge, to the wet market, etc. On the bike, the summer heat is well bearable. The drivers are extremely gentle and doing their best to satisfy the visitors. Congratulations and thank you so much for the amazing job!I have to give most credit to my tour guy, Hoang. He is well educated about the area. He took me to amazing places where I would never thought of seeing. I have a great a great time and enjoying every moments. I would recommand this tour to people first time to Hanoi.
