Hanoi / Hanoi Jeep Tour
Hanoi · Private tour
Classic Hanoi from an open-air vintage Jeep.
Around 4 hours (half day)
What to expect.
Experience the energy of Hanoi from the back of a vintage army Jeep, cruising through hidden alleyways, buzzing streets and iconic landmarks. With a local guide behind the wheel, this is your chance to see the real Hanoi, raw, vibrant and full of surprises. From backstreet markets to historic bridges and egg coffee in tucked-away cafés, this ride is anything but ordinary.

A glimpse of the day.
The Jeep rolled up outside our hotel and before we knew it we were bouncing through Hanoi's backstreets like locals on a mission. There's something about an old army Jeep that makes you feel like you're in a film, just with a bit more dust and the odd scooter cutting you up. We started off exploring the bits of Hanoi most people miss: hidden alleys, market stalls, the kind of places where life spills out onto the street. Soon we were off to the big hitters, Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum looking as serious as ever, West Lake glinting in the sun, and Train Street where we narrowly avoided becoming part of the railway timetable. By the time we pulled in for lunch we were starving, local spot, no frills, absolutely delicious, washed down with a proper egg coffee. We got dropped back at the hotel feeling windblown, full, and oddly proud of having seen the real Hanoi, potholes, train tracks and all.
Good to know before you go.
A half day exploring Hanoi from an open-air vintage Jeep: the backstreets and local neighbourhoods, the main landmarks, and a Vietnamese lunch with egg coffee.
The open Jeep gets you into lanes a coach cannot reach and makes the ride part of the fun, with a local driver and guide.
Around four hours, offered as a morning or an afternoon half day, so it leaves time for the rest of your day.
A mix of hidden local corners and the iconic sights, so you get both the everyday city and the landmarks in one trip.
Yes, children enjoy the open Jeep and the street stops. Seating is limited, so it suits small groups.
It is a great first orientation to the city. Compare it with the evening Hanoi Vespa tour, see how many days you need in Hanoi, and we will build it into your private itinerary.
