A Timeless Private Luxury Voyage Through Vietnam

Do you know that the best way to travel in Vietnam is by Vespa scooters? With this tour, you will experience Hanoi in a way that is more authentic than that of a hot, crowded bus tour. Traveling with Vespa Tour Hanoi, you will have a unique and exciting touch of Hanoian spirit, experience the past, present, and future. Let's start after your full breakfast at your hotel. 

Kicks off with a welcome drink at a rooftop café overlooking the vibrant heart of Hanoi. From there, weave through the bustling streets of the Old Quarter on your vintage Vespa and feel the city’s pulse as you pass colorful murals along Hanoi’s Art Street and glide across the iconic Long Bien Bridge, a historic landmark from the French colonial era.

Continue your ride to a lively local market, where the aroma of fresh herbs opens your chance to interact with friendly Hanoians. Then meander through narrow lanes to a hidden wartime relic, the wreckage of a B-52 bomber lying quietly in a small lake, a powerful reminder of the past. 

The journey then leads you to a serene Buddhist temple embraced by lush greenery, followed by the final stop, a traditional tea house, where a local Tea Master welcomes you to experience Vietnam’s ancient tea culture and sample a selection of delicate artisan teas.

Set against a backdrop of tranquil mountains and glistening rice paddies, this outdoor water-stage production blends music, dance, water puppetry, and cutting-edge visual effects to celebrate the soul of northern Vietnam.
