Morning Tour: 08.30 to 12.00 – Afternoon Tour: 13.30-17.00
Your ride kicks off at the stunning Ha Noi Opera House, one of the city’s most iconic examples of French architecture, centrally located in the elegant French Quarter.
From there, we cruise to the legendary Long Biên Bridge, Ha Noi’s most iconic crossing & a silent witness to over a century of history.
We then explore the lush Banana Gardens on the Red River’s Bãi Giữa Island, an expansive plantation where small boats double as homes for hardworking local families. While there, we fuel up with a refreshing glass of nước mía (a sugarcane juice drink)
We’ll then roll into the West Lake area, a stunningly serene lake & upscale neighborhood where you can see the fascinating contrasts between the traditional & modern day Ha Noi. A tasty local favourite is served up for us street side – bò bía (fresh spring rolls with sausage & herbs).
We jump back on the bikes for a scenic ride passing by the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, an imposing marble memorial & the resting place of Vietnam’s most revered leader.
It’s now time to slip into the city’s maze of hidden alleys & backstreets, a place where only scooters can navigate & where you’ll catch a close-up look at the houses & daily life of the Hanoians.
On exiting, we take a short stroll around a small neighbourhood market where your KIX host will show you an array of exotic seasonal fruits. Choose your favourites to taste as we take a break for bánh rán (fried sticky rice cake).
Finally, we pull up at the world famous Train Street Café, a must when visiting Ha Noi. Grab a coffee (or a beer!), sit back & experience the thrill of a train rushing past just a few feet from your seat.
Go beyond the travel guides & let our KIX hosts show you their Ha Noi, a more personal & authentic experience of this fascinating capital city by the nation’s favourite mode of transport.

KIX Tours groups are capped at a maximum of seven guests. This small group size allows us to visit local areas and provide ample interaction without feeling like we are intruding. Plus you’ll get lots of face time with our KIX local hosts! If you are a solo traveler, don’t worry- our Saigon scooter tours are guaranteed to depart once one person has booked.
Vietnam changes throughout the day, with different markets and different street scenes from one hour to the next- that’s one of the things we love about the city! So although our stops on this Saigon city tour are the same, there are some slight differences in what you may see on the morning and the afternoon tours. But regardless of whether you join the morning or the afternoon, you are sure to capture some brilliant photos of local life and your host will share hidden gems in the city that you wouldn’t be able to find on your own!
All KIX scooter tours start with a pick up at your hotel. When booking your tour, please be sure to include the name and address of your hotel in Saigon so that we can arrange pick up!
The Hanoi Senses half day tour is not about classic site seeing. We will drive by some of the famous places, such as
