The Hanoi Early Birds Tour offers a rare glimpse into the city’s soul—at a time when most visitors are still asleep. As dawn breaks, ride through Hanoi’s calm, empty streets on a vintage Vespa and witness the capital as locals know it: peaceful, graceful, and deeply rooted in tradition.
This early morning journey reveals timeless rituals that define daily life in Hanoi. From the solemn flag-raising ceremony at the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum to the gentle energy of locals practicing Tai Chi and dancing by Hoan Kiem Lake, each moment feels intimate and cinematic.
As the city slowly awakens, enjoy panoramic views over the Red River from Long Bien Bridge, then savor Hanoi’s beloved morning flavors—delicate Banh Cuon and the iconic Egg Coffee. Thoughtfully paced and deeply immersive, this tour is a poetic introduction to Hanoi for curious travelers seeking authenticity beyond the usual sights.
Your cinematic journey begins in the enchanting pre-dawn quiet. Escaping the crowds, we ride to the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum to witness the solemn flag-raising ceremony—a profound 'insider's' moment and a patriotic tradition that marks the start of the day.
As the sun rises, we ride to the historic Long Bien Bridge for breathtaking, panoramic views of the Red River. Next, we glide toward Hoan Kiem Lake—the cultural heartbeat of Hanoi. We immerse ourselves in the city’s positive morning energy, observing and even joining locals in their timeless rituals of Tai Chi, aerobics, and ballroom dancing.
This experience builds an appetite. We navigate to a cherished local spot to savor Banh Cuon—delicate, steamed rice rolls essential to a Hanoi morning. Finally, no morning here is complete without its most famous invention. We end at a charming café for a cup of legendary Egg Coffee—a creamy, sweet delight that perfectly rounds off your adventure before we drop you back at your hotel.
No problem! While the Egg Coffee is famous, the café we visit offers a wonderful atmosphere. You can easily substitute your drink for a hot chocolate, fresh juice, or traditional Vietnamese tea.
Hanoi mornings, especially in winter, can be crisp and cool. We recommend wearing layers (a jacket or sweater) that you can easily remove as the sun warms up the day.
Absolutely. You are trading a little sleep for a privileged look at a side of Hanoi that is peaceful, authentic, and magical—a side that disappears completely once the city fully wakes up.
