Full description
Ride with the Green Sisters — our team of local women guides and riders — on a half-day tour that mixes Hanoi’s landmarks with the life you only see from a scooter seat. Electric scooters keep the ride quiet and clean, and riding with women is a warm, reassuring way to experience the city.
Visit a family home on Banana Island in the middle of the Red River, stop on Long Bien Bridge, then see Truc Bach Lake and the McCain memorial, Tran Quoc Pagoda and the B-52 lake. After the French Quarter and Ba Dinh, enjoy a family-run lunch of Pho Ga or Bun Cha and a coffee on Train Street.

Frequently asked questions
Who are the female riders?
Our riders are local Hanoi women trained and employed by Eco Trip Asia. Many guests — especially solo women travellers and families — tell us they feel relaxed and safe riding with them.
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 is the difference between the group and the private tour?
On the group tour you may share the experience with a few other travellers. The private tour is just for your party, with your own guide and vehicle, and the timing can be adapted to you.
Can I change my date or cancel?
Deposits are non-refundable, but you can move your tour to another date, subject to availability.
Do I have to pay now?
Send a booking request for free. A small deposit secures your spot; the rest is paid on the tour day in cash (USD or VND) or by bank transfer.
How much do children pay?
Children aged 5–8 pay 75% of the adult price; under 5 join free.
What happens if it rains?
If we have to cancel your tour because the weather makes it 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 because of the weather, the deposit is not refundable, but you can still change your date.
