• St. Joseph Cathedral - Kindly provide your hotel name and address, and our skilled drivers will pick you up for a 4-hour Hanoi Backstreet Vintage Vespa Tour. After a brief safety orientation, hop on your Vespa and proceed to St. Joseph’s Cathedral to join the group and take some delightful photos together.

Situated in Hoan Kiem District, the neo-Gothic St. Joseph’s Cathedral is Hanoi’s oldest Roman Catholic church, inspired by Notre Dame in Paris — a remarkable landmark from the French colonial period.

• Hai Ba Trung Temple - Your adventure begins with a ride through the city center to the Nguyen Cong Tru collective housing area and the flea market — a living museum of Hanoi’s past, transporting you back to the subsidy era of the 1970s–1986s. Explore the market’s labyrinth of mechanical shops and experience the nostalgic rhythm of daily life.
• Long Bien Bridge - Proceed to the historic Long Bien Bridge (constructed in 1898 by the French company Daydé & Pillé) for sweeping views of the Red River, then enjoy a tranquil 1.5 km walk on Banana Island. Meet a warm-hearted 86-year-old couple residing in a small floating house — a poignant encounter that highlights the contrast between Hanoi’s affluence and simplicity.
• Huu Tiep Lake and the Downed B-52 - Ride along the world-record ceramic mosaic wall, circle the picturesque West Lake, and navigate the winding alleys of Ngoc Ha Village, home to the B52 Lake, where the remains of an American aircraft still lie as a silent testament to history.
• Hanoi Train Street - Next, experience the iconic Hanoi Train Street. While some sections are temporarily closed for safety, our guides know precisely when and where to safely observe the train passing just inches from local homes. Enjoy a refreshing drink as you watch daily life unfold along the tracks.
• Hang Gai Street (Street of Hemp) - Finally, relax at a local Vietnamese restaurant and enjoy a cozy lunch of Bún Chả paired with a cold Hanoi Beer — the perfect conclusion to your unforgettable Vespa adventure before returning to your hotel.
