Explore Hidden Hanoi by Bicycle

Once you meet your local guide, you will get comfortable with your bicycle and receive a safety briefing before setting out on the ride.
Ride to Huu Tiep Lake in Ngoc Ha Flower Village, where you will see an American B-52 aircraft that was shot down during the Christmas bombing in 1972. Continue to quiet Banana Island, away from the busy streets, where farmers grow vegetables and fruits. Then visit Long Bien Bridge, the oldest bridge in Hanoi, built by the French during the colonial era, and see the reunification train track, where residents live only one meter away from it.
See the nearly 200-year-old Hanoi Flag Tower, renowned as one of the city's symbols. Visit a family home to learn more about the everyday life of local people, pass the Hanoi Opera House, and continue by the 1,000-year-old royal Thăng Long Citadel. Let us share our love of Hanoi with you.
