Your journey begins in the heart of local life, far from the polished tourist spots. Climb into your vintage UAZ469 Jeep, a relic of the Vietnam People’s Army, and set off through Hanoi’s tangled backstreets and lively neighbourhoods.
Drive through narrow alleys lined with street vendors, local markets, and small temples, where everyday life unfolds before your eyes. Smell the sizzling street food, hear the hum of motorbikes, and see artisans, workers, and schoolchildren going about their day.

Shift gears and explore the capital’s most iconic landmarks, each telling a piece of Hanoi’s rich story. Cruise past Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, Ba Dinh Square, and the Presidential Palace before heading toward West Lake, Truc Bach Lake, and Tran Quoc Pagoda, the city’s oldest temple.

Continue through the French Quarter, admiring its grand architecture, and pass the B52 Victory Museum for a glimpse into Hanoi’s wartime history. Drive across the historic Long Bien Bridge, a symbol of resilience, and finally make your way to Hanoi Train Street — where you’ll sip a cup of traditional Vietnamese coffee just inches from the passing train!

No Hanoi adventure would be complete without its food. Feast on Hanoi fried and fresh spring rolls, Hanoi-style Banh Mi, five-colour noodles, and green papaya salad, all bursting with flavour. Sip Bia Hoi, Vietnam’s famous fresh beer, or try a shot of local rice wine if you’re feeling adventurous.

Finish with the city’s most beloved treat — egg coffee, a creamy, sweet creation that perfectly sums up Hanoi’s ability to turn the simple into the unforgettable.
