Here, visitors will enjoy a brief visit to the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, a revered site for the Vietnamese, along with Ba Dinh Square, the Presidential Palace, Ho Chi Minh’s Residential area, and the One Pillar Pagoda.

  • Temple of Literature & National University - Following the Ho Chi Minh Complex, the tour proceeds to the Temple of Literature, a 1000-year-old iconic structure in Hanoi, offering insights into Vietnam’s rich cultural and historical heritage.

  • Hai Ba Trung Temple - Part 2: Hanoi Hidden Gems: (2.5 hours)

Discover the lesser-known areas of Hanoi by navigating through a labyrinth of winding backstreets, narrow alleyways, and bustling markets. Immerse yourself in the vibrant flow of motorbikes and the unique sounds of Hanoi’s street life. Engage all your senses: observing, listening, touching, tasting, and smiling. Experience the diverse aspects of the city, embracing its authenticity. Witness different facets of life behind the scenes, exploring the hidden parts of the city. Connect with locals in their everyday environments, fostering personal connections and cultural exchanges.

*Note: The visit focuses on the Hai Ba Trung Temple area, providing a glimpse into this part of Hanoi, without the need to visit additional temples on the trip.

  • Long Bien Bridge - Long Biên Bridge, the oldest iron bridge in Vietnam, was constructed in 1889 by the French colonialists. Despite its modern architectural heritage, it embodies national identity, with its design resembling a dragon soaring over the Red River, a cultural symbol of Hà Nội. A brief walk here offers a fantastic perspective of Hanoi for photography, and the tour also includes a visit to the countryside to explore the serene villages and farms surrounding the city.

  • Hidden Gem Coffee - Quán Cà Phê Tái Chế - This charming coffee shop is nestled in the heart of Hanoi’s Old Quarter. All the furniture is ingeniously crafted from recycled materials.

An afternoon well-spent zooming around on a motorbike. - We had a great time with Jim and Tim exploring the backstreets of Hanoi as well as taking in the more mainstream sights, like The Temple of Literature, Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum etc. Jim was very knowledgeable and gave us fascinating insights into the history of this ancient city. Being on a motorbike meant we were really in the thick of things and got a better understanding of how people live in this vibrant place.

Brilliant Backstreet Tours of Hanoi and surrounds!!! - My daughter and I booked the full day Ninh Binh & Tam Coc tour with Backstreet Tours. Their level of contact prior to the tour was perfect and professional. The tour itself was absolutely excellent. Our guide Leo was funny, attentive, and informative. It was quite a hot day and we were driven around in an air conditioned van and provided cold water and iced wet wipes which were very much appreciated by all group members each time we got back in the vehicle. Leo also kept us informed on how manage street vendors and what was culturally appropriate. 100% recommend these guys, so much so we booked a 2 1/2 hour motorbike tour of Hanoi. Our tour guide Five was brilliant, funny, informative and attentive also. He, along with the three other riders/drivers Mike, Hau & Nui were just awesome!!! Do yourself a favour and book any of the tours with Backstreet Tours…you WILL NOT be disappointed!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
