What's the difference between the motorbike and car options?

The motorbike option gives you an open-air, street-level experience that's very much in the spirit of Hanoi — ideal if you want to feel the city around you. The car option is air-conditioned and more comfortable, better suited to those who prefer a relaxed ride between stops. Both cover the same itinerary.

Where exactly is the pickup point?

Pickup is from your hotel in Hanoi's Old Quarter. Provide your hotel name and address when booking and your guide will come to you.

Do I need to print my ticket?

A mobile ticket on your phone is accepted — no need to print anything. Simply have your booking confirmation ready to show your guide.

Is Train Street always open to visitors?

Access to Train Street can vary depending on local regulations and train schedules, which change periodically. The itinerary is subject to change due to such conditions, and your guide will advise on the day.

Several stops on this tour — including the One Pillar Pagoda and the Temple of Jade Mountain — enforce a dress code that prohibits bare shoulders, exposed backs, and knees. Bring a scarf or light layer to cover up, or wear clothing that already meets this requirement.

Can I bring my children?

Children under 4 years old join free of charge, though no seat will be reserved for them. Older children are welcome; check the ticket options for applicable pricing.
