Hanoi Vespa Tours: See the City from the Back of a Vintage Vespa
Hanoi Vespa tours are guided rides around Vietnam’s capital on the back of a classic Vespa, with a professional driver for every guest and an English-speaking guide. Choose a 4.5-hour city tour, a lunch or evening street food tour or a full day with the countryside – from US$72 per person in a small group, with hotel pick-up included.
Options: half day (4.5 hours, morning or afternoon), food tours at lunch or dinner (about 4 hours) or full day (7–8 hours).
Group size: small group, or private for your party only.
Included: Vespa with driver, full-face helmet, guide, food or lunch as listed, hotel pick-up and passenger insurance.
Good to know: you ride as a passenger – no licence needed.
Compare our five Hanoi Vespa tours below, from history and West Lake temples to street food at lunch or after dark and rice fields around Co Loa.
Good to know (2026): Hanoi authorities ask tour operators not to take visitors to Train Street, so none of our Vespa routes stop there. The Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum area is seen from outside on these tours.
