A Hanoi jeep tour is the easiest way to see a big, busy city without fighting its traffic. You sit high up in an open-top vintage army jeep while a professional driver handles the motorbikes and your English-speaking guide, a Hanoi local, tells the stories behind the streets. You can talk, take photos, ask to stop \u2013 and nobody in your group needs to ride a scooter or cross a road at rush hour.<\/p>\n
The jeep tour is the experience Eco Trip Asia is best known for, and it comes in six versions: a two-hour city highlights loop, our best-selling half-day city tour with local food, an evening street food tour, half-day countryside trips to Co Loa Citadel and Bat Trang Pottery Village, and a full day in the mountains of Ba Vi National Park with Duong Lam Ancient Village. Every one includes free hotel pickup and drop-off in the Old Quarter, rain ponchos and a jeep for up to six guests.<\/p>\n
Our jeeps are restored Soviet-made UAZ models, the light four-wheel-drive vehicle built in Ulyanovsk from the early 1970s to replace the older GAZ-69. Simple, tough and easy to repair, the UAZ-469 and its relatives were supplied to the armies of the Soviet bloc and its allies, and Vietnam was one of them. For decades the open-top, olive-green UAZ was the commander\u2019s car of the Vietnamese army \u2013 it still leads the parades on National Day, 2 September, with officers standing up to salute the crowd.<\/p>\n
Vietnamese drivers nicknamed it the U oat<\/em>, after the sound of \u201cUAZ\u201d, and many older Hanoians remember it as the vehicle of officials and the military when private cars were rare. Today, with modern cars everywhere, a restored army jeep turns heads in the street \u2013 children wave, and grandparents often smile and point. Our jeeps are maintained for passenger use and driven only by our own professional drivers.<\/p>\n If this is your first day in Hanoi, the half-day city tour is the one most guests choose: the Old Quarter, Hanoi Train Street, the Hanoi French Quarter, Ba Dinh, Banana Island in the Red River and West Lake, with Bun Cha, egg coffee and lotus tea included. Short on time? The two-hour tour passes the same landmarks with photo stops at Tran Quoc Pagoda, the B-52 Victory Relic (Huu Tiep Lake) and Long Bien Bridge. Food lovers should look at the jeep food tour; travellers who have already seen the centre will enjoy the countryside trips. Compare durations, start times and prices in the table of tours below.<\/p>\n Dress for an open vehicle: light layers, closed shoes or sturdy sandals, sunglasses and sunscreen, and a jacket in winter \u2013 the breeze in an open jeep feels cooler than the city. We bring rain ponchos. Stay seated while the jeep is moving, keep your arms inside and follow your guide when you step off.<\/p>\n A jeep tour is not a museum tour. On the city routes most landmarks are seen from the jeep or at short photo stops, so the day stays relaxed and moving. If you want to spend an hour inside a museum or the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, plan that for another morning on your own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \uc18c\ub828\uc81c \ube48\ud2f0\uc9c0 \uad70\uc6a9 \uc9c0\ud504\ub97c \ud0c0\uace0 \ud558\ub178\uc774\ub97c \ub204\ube44\ub294 \uc2dc\uadf8\ub2c8\ucc98 \ud22c\uc5b4: \ud604\uc9c0 \ubca0\ud14c\ub791 \uc6b4\uc804\uae30\uc0ac, \uce5c\uc808\ud55c \uc601\uc5b4 \uac00\uc774\ub4dc, \uad6c\uc2dc\uac00\uc9c0 \ud638\ud154 \ubb34\ub8cc \ud53d\uc5c5 \ud3ec\ud568.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-209","page","type-page","status-publish"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ecotripasia.com\/ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/209","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ecotripasia.com\/ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ecotripasia.com\/ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ecotripasia.com\/ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=209"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ecotripasia.com\/ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/209\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":215,"href":"https:\/\/ecotripasia.com\/ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/209\/revisions\/215"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ecotripasia.com\/ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=209"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}City, food or countryside?<\/h3>\n
