Full description
Hanoi changes completely at the edges of the day, and this electric scooter tour lets you choose which one you want to see. The sunrise departure leaves at 5:00 while the streets are still quiet; the sunset departure leaves at 17:00 as the heat fades and the city lights come on.
At dawn you watch locals do tai chi around Hoan Kiem Lake, wander Quang Ba flower market as fresh blooms arrive, catch the sunrise over West Lake and, when scheduled, the flag-raising ceremony at Ba Dinh Square, before a breakfast of Pho. At sunset you ride to Long Bien Bridge and a hidden farming area by the Red River for golden-hour views, then return past West Lake and St. Joseph’s Cathedral to end with street food near Train Street.

Frequently asked questions
Which is better, sunrise or sunset?
Sunrise is the best time to see local morning life, the flower market and empty streets. Sunset is more relaxed and ends with dinner. Both are beautiful for photos.
Do I need a driving licence?
No. You ride as a passenger behind a professional local rider, so no licence or riding experience is needed. Helmets are provided.
Are food and drinks included?
Yes — the food and drinks listed in the itinerary are included. Vegetarian and vegan options are available; just tell us about any dietary needs when you book.
What happens if it rains?
Tours run in rain or shine. We provide rain ponchos, and your guide may adjust the order of stops to keep you comfortable. If we have to cancel because the weather makes the tour unsafe, you can move it to another date free of charge or choose a full refund. If the tour goes ahead and you decide not to join, the deposit is not refundable, but you can still change your date.
Can I change my date or cancel?
Deposits are non-refundable, but you can move your tour to another date, subject to availability.
