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;

Lucas was our tour guide and we had an amazing time. We felt immersed in the culture of Hanoi and saw areas that we would not see without the tour. We felt safe on the bikes and had a great start to our trip on this tour! A must do!

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 mark...

I had the best driver he was so much fun we played games while we drove to the next destination. He was very knowledgable and very kind. At the end my friends and I wanted to be dropped off at a different location and he had no problem doing so. Might I add the places we went we saw the real Hano...
