About operator:

It can be difficult to tick off Hanoi’s many highlights when exploring solely by foot. Explore the city on a cyclo tour, and zip between landmarks that offer insight into the city’s history and culture, including the village of Ngoc Ha and its B-52 wreckage, the Temple of Literature, and the Old Quarter. Stop off for a taste of traditional coffee in a local cafe, and forget the guidebook with insights provided by your guide.
