ITINERARY: HANOI JEEP TOURS – STEP BY STEP
Part 1: Welcome to Hidden Hanoi
Your adventure begins with a warm welcome as your Jeep team and local guide greet you at your hotel or the designated meeting point. After a quick safety briefing, climb aboard your vintage Vietnam War-era Jeep and dive into the authentic side of Hanoi. Leave the busy tourist routes behind and head into a maze of narrow alleys, local neighborhoods, and hidden courtyards where daily life unfolds much as it has for decades. Along the way, pass through bustling markets, traditional homes, and tucked-away temples. Your guide shares fascinating stories about Hanoi’s evolution—from its French colonial roots to Cold War history—highlighted by a stop at the wreckage site of a downed B-52 bomber, now resting silently in a quiet lake as a haunting reminder of the past.
Part 2: Long Bien Bridge & Banana Island Escape
From the city’s inner maze, your Jeep takes you to one of Hanoi’s most iconic engineering marvels: Long Bien Bridge. Built in the early 1900s by the French and once a critical supply line during wartime, the bridge now serves as a vital piece of living history. As you cross its weathered structure, enjoy panoramic views of the Red River and the lively riverbanks below. On the far side lies Banana Island, a surprisingly peaceful enclave nestled within the urban sprawl. This lush stretch of farmland, banana plantations, and vegetable gardens offers a quiet contrast to the city’s chaos. Here, you’ll explore dirt tracks and meet locals tending to their crops—a glimpse of rural life just minutes from Hanoi’s buzzing core.
Part 3: West Lake Loop & Train Street Experience
Continue your journey with a scenic ride around West Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Hanoi. Fringed by ancient pagodas, elegant villas, and quiet coffee shops, this area offers a relaxing window into the city’s spiritual and residential life. After soaking in the lakeside ambiance, venture back into the urban energy and arrive at the famed Train Street—one of Hanoi’s most surreal and unforgettable sights. Here, local homes and shops sit just inches from active train tracks, and the whole neighborhood pauses and adapts when a train rumbles through. Walk along the narrow tracks, chat with residents, and take in the incredible juxtaposition of danger and domestic routine that makes this street so unique.
Part 4: A Culinary Journey & Sweet Farewell
After a full day of exploring, it’s time to treat your taste buds. Stop at a carefully selected family-run restaurant known for serving authentic Northern Vietnamese cuisine. Savor a variety of local specialties, each dish offering a reflection of Hanoi’s culinary heritage. To finish on a delicious note, your guide takes you to a cozy neighborhood café, where you can choose between two beloved treats: Hanoi’s signature Egg Coffee—rich, frothy, and indulgent—or a chilled Mango & Caramel Pudding, the perfect tropical touch. As you relax and reflect, you’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for the flavors, culture, and hidden beauty of this dynamic city.
