Product Info

Experience Hanoi like a local on a private cyclo ride through the historic heart of the capital, with a visit to the famous Hanoi Train Street. This relaxed 2-hour experience combines Hanoi's charming Old Quarter, colonial architecture, bustling local streets, and one of the city's most unique landmarks.

Sit back and enjoy the traditional Vietnamese cyclo as your local driver takes you through Hanoi at a comfortable pace. Along the way, you'll see everyday life unfolding around you, from small street vendors and colorful shops to historic buildings and busy local neighborhoods.
