30 Best Things To Do In Hanoi for an Epic Stay

2. Scoot Around on a Motorbike Tour…

Hanoi is a city of scooters*.

Everywhere you go, you’ll see them zooming, you’ll hear them tooting, and you’ll learn to cross the street despite them.

And you should also ride around on one. On this tour, you can do that safely, by sitting on the back of a local’s bike. Each traveler gets their own driver, and you scoot around the city in a little herd.

You’ll be driven to landmarks, temples, busy streets, food spots, and plenty more. It’s a perfect way to get knee-deep in the real spirit of the city, and it’s one of the best things to do in Hanoi.

Note: Stop being a panicky poo-poo. Yes, this is safe. No, you’re not going to die. Your life is not a movie.

Note #2: When I say ‘scooter,’ I mean a low-power motorbike. Not one of those things where you push yourself around on one foot.
