Highlights
- Old Quarter - Begin with a hotel pick-up and transfer to our bicycle store to select the perfect bike for your journey. Our guide will provide a briefing on navigating the city and the itinerary. Start from our designated point and ride through less trafficked alleys known mostly to locals. Experience the local lifestyle, ride under the Long Bien Bridge, explore the local market, and observe the daily activities of market-goers. Continue through narrow alleys leading up to Long Bien Bridge.
- Long Bien Bridge - On the Hanoi city bicycle tour, we head to Long Bien Bridge, a symbol of Hanoi’s resilience and tenacity. Built by the renowned Eiffel Construction company in 1902, it is the oldest bridge in Hanoi. Enjoy panoramic views of the Red River below. The tour continues through the serene banana and corn farms on Red River Island, away from the city’s hustle and bustle. This farming island, located in the heart of Hanoi, is a hidden gem for travelers. Visit a local family on the farm to learn about their lifestyle and enjoy tropical fruits.
- West Lake - Cycle along the banks of West Lake and stop to admire the stunning views on Thanh Nien Road. This spot offers a striking contrast between the ancient charm of the Old Quarter and the modern skyline. Immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of a local market. Ride to Huu Tiep Lake in Ngoc Ha Flower Village to see the remains of an American B-52 aircraft shot down during the 1972 Christmas bombing. Visit a family home to learn about the daily life and traditions of Hanoians, with our guide acting as a translator.
- Ba Dinh Square - This route passes by major city highlights such as the nearly 200-year-old Hanoi Flag Tower, the Hanoi Opera House, the 1000-year-old Royal Thang Long Citadel, Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, Presidential Palace, Ba Dinh Square, Tran Quoc Temple, and Truc Bach Lake.
- Train Street - Our journey takes us to the century-old Reunification Train Street, which runs through the heart of Hanoi, where residents live just centimeters from the tracks.

Insightful and unforgettable bike tour through Hanoi - We had an amazing bike experience with our tour guide 'Pinkman'.
We got different impressions of the city, the countryside of Hanoi and also could visit a local farmer family. And, the experience of the train street including a train that actually passed it while we had a coffee there was unforgettable!
We can highly recommend this tour to people who are interested to see many different pretty places of Hanoi while riding a bike.
Thank you again Pinkman for this insightful tour and all your time you spent to answer all our questions about Hanoi and Vietnam! :-)

Great trip! - Great trip! End was my tour guide and he had lots of interesting info about each of the sites we visited. His English was fantastic. The bbq noodle place we went to for lunch was delicious! The traffic was daunting at first though we navigated our way safely. Overall, a wonderful way to spend the morning.

Nice impression of Hanoi by bike - We did a private bike ride with Pink man with our two sons aged 12 and 14. Fine (sport) bikes with helmet. This did not feel excessive, because cycling in Hanoi sometimes felt a bit suicidal;).
We had booked the afternoon tour so we cycled on banana island in the heat of the day and with our tired bodies it was a bit difficult. Pinkman took this into account, made sure we could refuel with an elderly couple with homemade ice tea. Then the rest of the tour along the Pagoda (very nice), mausoleum of HCM and of course Trainstreet. In addition, we got delicious food and drank our first egg coffee.
Thank you Pinkman!!!
