The experience
The Vespa picks you up at your hotel and heads straight into the Old Quarter backstreets, where the driver navigates the narrow alleys and famous streets most visitors never see. Your first stop is St Joseph's Cathedral, where you step off to photograph the colonial architecture and learn the history. It's a popular spot for locals and a visual anchor in the city's center. From there you ride to Huong Lien, the Bun Cha restaurant where President Obama ate, and order the famous dish: grilled pork and spring rolls served with broth for dipping.
After eating, the Vespa takes you through the French Quarter past the Hanoi Opera House, where you stop to see the building's facade and take pictures. Then the route heads toward the viewpoint at Long Bien Bridge, where you can see the Red River and the city lights spread across the night. The driver points out the ceramic road and Chuong Duong Bridge along the way. The second food stop is Ngu Xa Street, where you eat five to six dishes of famous Hanoi street food: pho cuong, pho cuon, fried spring rolls and other specialties the guide orders for you.
The final stretch takes you through backstreets past Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum, then to Train Street. You walk inside the narrow alley where the railway runs between the buildings, stop at a coffee shop next to the tracks, and drink egg coffee while waiting for a train to pass through. The guide handles the timing and knows when trains arrive, so you're not guessing. All food, beer, egg coffee and water are included, as are the entrance fees for Train Street and the live music bar if the group stops there.
