Vietnam Jeep Tours Itinerary

1. Pick-Up & Tour Briefing

Your Hanoi Jeep journey begins as your guide and driver greet you at your hotel or designated meeting point. After a quick yet informative briefing on safety and the day’s route, settle into your vintage open-air Jeep—once used by the Vietnam People’s Army. With the breeze in your hair and your guide by your side, you’re ready to explore Hanoi through the eyes of a local, venturing far beyond the standard tourist map.

2. Old Quarter Streets & B-52 War Relic

Your first ride takes you deep into Hanoi’s storied Old Quarter, a labyrinth of narrow alleyways alive with honking scooters, sizzling food stalls, and vibrant local energy. Along the way, you’ll pass colonial-era façades and shopfronts dating back generations. The Jeep then stops at Huu Tiep Lake, a quiet residential corner hiding a powerful piece of history—the sunken wreckage of a U.S. B-52 bomber shot down during the Vietnam War. As your guide shares the story behind it, you’ll feel the weight of history blending with the rhythm of everyday life.

3. Long Bien Bridge & Banana Island Escape

Next, cross the iconic Long Bien Bridge, a French-built steel structure that still supports trains, motorbikes, and bicycles over the Red River. The city’s pace fades as you veer onto the dirt paths of Banana Island—a lush, green expanse just moments from downtown. Surrounded by banana groves, vegetable farms, and stilt houses, this hidden oasis shows you a simpler, agrarian side of Hanoi. It’s a rare chance to see farmers at work, children playing barefoot, and riverside life unfolding as it has for generations.

4. West Lake Drive & French Quarter Sights

Returning from the island, you’ll cruise along the scenic banks of West Lake and Truc Bach Lake—Hanoi’s most picturesque urban waterfronts. The landscape shifts as you enter the elegant French Quarter, where wide boulevards and tree-lined streets reveal graceful colonial villas, diplomatic residences, and European-style architecture. This part of the city feels worlds apart from the Old Quarter, offering a look at Hanoi’s colonial past and cosmopolitan charm.

5. Train Street Visit & Culinary Finale

As your adventure nears its end, stop at the famous Hanoi Train Street—where homes, cafés, and daily life exist just inches from active railway tracks. It’s a surreal and thrilling spot that captures the city’s resilience and adaptability. Finally, relax over a delicious Vietnamese meal at a beloved local restaurant. Whether it’s Bun Cha, Pho Cuon, or another local specialty, your dinner is paired with a signature drink—like a silky-smooth egg coffee or refreshing mango dessert. It’s the perfect conclusion to a journey filled with culture, history, and unforgettable views.
