Our tour begins right at your hotel in or around Hanoi’s Old Quarter. You’ll be warmly greeted by our guide and driver in your hotel lobby—or at our designated meeting point—where you’ll receive a quick safety briefing before we hop on the Jeep and kick off our adventure.
The first part of our Hanoi Jeep Tour immerses you in the real Hanoi—a “day in the life” experience full of local color and authenticity. You’ll explore hidden alleyways, local homes, markets, and backstreets, discovering how Hanoians truly live, work, and play.
Unlike tours that show only the polished side of the city, Hanoi Backstreet Tours reveals the full story—the beautiful, quirky, and gritty. For us, the true soul of Hanoi lies beyond the typical tourist spots, deep in its lesser-known neighborhoods.
Next, we take you past and stop at Hanoi’s most iconic landmarks, including: Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum & Ba Dinh Square, West Lake & Tran Quoc Pagoda, Temple of Literature – Vietnam’s first national university, Hanoi Opera House & Long Bien Bridge – offering sweeping views of the Red River and nearby countryside, Hanoi Train Street – where you can enjoy a cup of traditional Vietnamese coffee just inches from the passing train.
These stops give you a rich taste of the city’s history, culture, and architecture—all from the comfort and fun of a vintage Jeep.
And finally, we wrap up our tour with a flavorful food experience at the cozy Hidden Gem Café. Here, you’ll enjoy a delicious spread of authentic, healthy, and organic Vietnamese dishes, including family heirloom recipes, secret specialties, and local favorites.
Vegan and vegetarian options are available—just let us know in advance!
