On your must-do list during your time in Hanoi should be a rickshaw ride and water puppets. This tour combines both of these and even throws in a dinner on top.
One of the best ways to actually see Hanoi is from a seat in a rickshaw (locally known as cyclo). Your expert guide takes you through the crowded streets to sites you wouldn't be able to find by yourself. You can see how each street is dedicated to one particular product creating unique features such as bamboo street or party street.
The water puppets, a culturally unique performance shows how rural life, folklore and legend takes place. The best in the city is the Thang Long theatre where we shall take you.
Itinerary:
Pick you up at your hotel at around 4:00 pm or 6:00 pm, cyclo ride around the trading area in Hanoi Old Quarter. Around 5:15 pm or 9:15 pm stop at Thang Long theatre for Water puppet show. After the show finish, enjoy a dinner at a local restaurant with a special dish of Vietnam. Then transfer back to your hotel around at 8:30 pm or 10:30 pm
The spectacular valleys and mountains of Vietnam were simply made for active exploration. On this 11-day adventure, you’ll put on your hiking shoes and get ready for an immersive journey that gets away from the bright lights of Hanoi and under the skin of Vietnam's bucolic countryside. In between trekking and cycling through lush landscapes, you’ll stop in at local villages and learn about traditional life, spending the night in rural homestays. After cycling through the valleys of Mai Chau and Ninh Binh and getting your heart rate up on Sapa’s hiking trails, you’ll head to UNESCO World Heritage-listed Cat Ba Island and kayak across the turquoise waters of Lan Ha Bay. Spend a night in a waterside resort in the bay and make the most of every sunset, before heading back to Hanoi and indulging in street food.

The 27-day trip was very exciting, adventurous and you could make new acquaintances. You became part of a family during the trip. Grade 10. Our CEO Kosal was like a family man to us and looked after us well on the whole journey from Hanoi to Bangkok, grade 10. The journey on the three night trains was an adventure, not for me as the hygiene standards are not as high as in Western Europe, grade 5. Travelling by bus from place to place was great, we often had the same bus driver, they were very helpful, grade 8. The accommodation (double rooms booked to share) was OK and mediocre, the double rooms were better than the multi-bed rooms, but were only mediocre, especially in big cities, grade 6.
The included excursions were top notch and also showed the regional life of the population, I especially loved the G-moments (NGOs supported by G-Adventures) grade 9. Optional excursions, sometimes too expensive for what they were, especially North Vietnam, grade 7.
When booking on the G-Advetuers platform, It was tedious, they had a glitch with the booking platform, and it cost me a lot of nerves and patience until everything was back to normal.
All in all, I was very satisfied.

Would I recommend this particular adventure to a friend, in a word no. However I would caveat this with I had a great time and I would definitely recommend G adventures as a tour group and these three countries are definitely worth visiting. It's only a couple of small points that need 'ironing out' which is understandable considering the relatively new itinerary that has been created. Our CEO minty ensured a smooth tour and I suspect that another tour guide would have handled the issues not as effectively. Thank you, G Adventures, for a wonderful once in a lifetime experience.

Join us on this 7-hour tour as we take you through the magical Hanoi, a place as famous for its history and heritage as for its food culture. The chaos and the traffic of the city might seem daunting at first, but we will ensure that you get the perfect introduction to the metropolis during this trip and visit all the major landmarks of Hanoi.
Meet your local, English-speaking guide at 8:30 in the morning and transfer to the Ho Chi Minh Complex. Named after the founder of modern Vietnam, the complex houses Ho Chi Minh's mausoleum, his home as well as President's Palace. Next, explore the Ho Chi Minh Museum and travel to the unique One Pillar Pagoda.
Take a walk around the Tran Quoc Pagoda and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and charming beauty of one of the oldest pagodas in Hanoi. Enjoy Vietnamese cuisine for lunch at a local restaurant. Head for Van Mieu – Quoc Tu Giam (Temple of Literature), the first imperial university in Vietnam which was built in 1070 AD.
Leave the Temple of Literature at 2:30 in the afternoon and enjoy a 1-hour rickshaw ride through Hanoi's old quarters, including those located around Hang Bac, Hang Tre and Ma May streets. Travel past Hoan Kiem Lake and the Hanoi Opera House and stop at the St Joseph’s Cathedral.
Attend a 45-minutes water puppet show at the Thang Long Puppetry Theater at 4:00 pm. We will transfer you back to your hotel in Hanoi after the show is over.
Motorbikes/scooters and Hanoi go hand in hand! There is quite simply no better way to get around and see the city. This tour puts you on the back of a Vespa while the driver safely whisks you through the streets and traffic to see the sights as a local would.
Itinerary:
6:00 pm. We meet at our stylish local Café and start the evening with a cocktail or another kind of drink (coffee, tea, juice, etc) and a delicious snack from one of the nearby nighttime vendors, before
jumping on the back of the vintage Vespas.
After weaving through the magical, busy back streets of the Old Quarter, we soon arrive at a fascinating local joint, right on the railway tracks (literally!) where we try some infused rice wine and a buffalo jerky appetiser.
Back on the bike through the narrow streets again, as we head toward our next foodie place, a lively local restaurant serving Bun Cha. This quintessential must-taste Ha Noi dish of rice noodles, grilled pork and meatballs, with a side of Nem (spring rolls). Simple but delicious.
We then head out of the Old Quarter and ride toward West Lake to try the local speciality of Pho Cuon, and learn the art of wrap ‘n’ roll, Vietnamese style with these fresh & fragrant ingredients, and the Pho noodle!
A short ride on the Vespa takes us to our final port of call, next to the superb Opera House. The halcyon days of the 1930’s may be over, however, this Jazz Club will wow you with a truly unique blend of styles – 30’s style Jazz & traditional Vietnamese music!
Stops are used to take in the vibrant evening food scene of Ha Noi, eating and drinking among the locals, as well as to brief clients about local culture, lifestyles and traditions. The ride is designed to take in the history and night time atmosphere of this fascinating city.
The trip ends at your hotel in Hanoi around 10:00 pm.
