Cyclo Ride through the Old Quarter

Step into the rhythm of Hanoi with a relaxing cyclo ride through the city’s vibrant Old Quarter. Seated in a traditional three-wheeled bicycle taxi, guests glide past colonial buildings, narrow alleys, and bustling street life. It’s the perfect way to soak in the city’s atmosphere at a slow, photo-friendly pace.
