Escape the crowds and ride a vespa to explore Hanoi's countryside
Looking for a countryside escape from Hanoi? Hop on a vintage Vespa and escape the Old Quarter - in just 30 minutes, you’ll be in Hanoi’s countryside, where you’ll see locals working the rice fields, buffalo roaming freely, and farmers going about their day.While many travellers stick to the usual city sights, this experience gives you a glimpse of rural Vietnamese life. Riding on the back of a Vespa is also super fun - you’ll cruise down tiny country roads and reach places cars simply can’t. You'll explore hidden village paths, learn how farming communities are adapting to urbanisation, and visit the ancient Co Loa Citadel - a spiral-shaped fortress dating back to 280 BC. Believed to be the mythical birthplace of ancient Vietnam, it’s said to have been built by a king with the help of a golden turtle. You'll also enjoy a yummy home-cooked Vietnamese lunch at your guide's house - super cosy and a lovely way to end this experience.This is perfect if you’re curious about everyday life beyond the city, love learning about culture and history, and want something a little different from the usual Hanoi itinerary.What to ExpectRide a vintage Vespa through Hanoi’s lively streets and quiet villagesCross the iconic Long Bien Bridge with sweeping views of the Red RiverGet an intimate glimpse of rural life - rice paddies, farmers, and water buffaloVisit the ancient Co Loa Citadel and hear stories from Vietnam’s mythic pastEnjoy a delicious home-cooked Vietnamese meal with a local familyLearn how urbanisation is reshaping countryside life around HanoiGood to KnowThis is a join-in small group trip lasting around 4.5 hoursComes with a licensed driver, English-speaking guide, helmet & rain ponchoUpgrade to a Jeep if you’d prefer not to ride pillion on a VespaLunch, drinks, and entrance fees are all included - no hidden extrasPick-up and drop-off available in Hanoi’s Old QuarterThis tour is designed for you to sit back and enjoy the ride with our professional Vespa drivers, so we don’t recommend self-driving.

Meet your host
Tho Nguyen grew up in the countryside of Northern Vietnam, where life was tough but filled with resilience and resourcefulness. Moving to Hanoi for university, he studied tourism and hospitality, quickly falling in love with the city that became his second home. His deep connection to the rugged Minsk motorcycle, a staple of his childhood, inspired him to create tailored backstreet tours in 2015. With over 15 years in the travel industry, Tho wanted to offer visitors a more personal and immersive way to experience Hanoi. His tours, using vintage motorbikes and jeeps, give travellers a chance to see the city’s hidden corners, enjoy authentic local food, and connect with everyday life in Vietnam in a real and meaningful way.
