1.Old Quarter Trishaw Cyclo Tour

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 181 reviews · 30 - 45 minutes · from $8 per person Our pick

Sit in front while a Vietnamese driver pedals you through Hanoi’s Old Quarter. This 30 to 45 minute cyclo ride passes Hoan Kiem Lake, Dong Xuan Market, St. Joseph’s Cathedral, and the Opera House. You get open views for photos, but little or no English commentary, so treat it as a gentle city introduction rather than a guided history tour.
