Hanoi Old Quarter Cyclo

The experience of Hanoi Old Quarter Cyclo is fantastic. It is un-missable for any who want to experience the true authentic Vietnam etiquettes.

The cyclo is a three-wheel bicycle taxi in Vietnam. It is a kind of rickshaw with a seat at the front for passengers and the driver at the back. For more about this vehicle, see here.

Take a  two-hour cyclo tour around Hanoi Old Quarter as well as stunning historical and cultural sites in the city centre is a magnificent experience that you feel the sound, the smell, the noise, the face features of people along the roads as the cyclo moving is rather slow. It’s a good idea to have a camera to hand to capture the scenes of daily life of city, traders, small restaurants, old balconis, beautiful windows, sidewalks…and this can arouse your emotion much long later.

Hanoi Old Quarter Cyclo – the trip for family

The trip on cyclo to the Old Quarter of Hanoi is suitable to family tours. Chidlren can enjoy the real Vietnam with parent by their site on a same cyclo. A cyclo can carry an adlt and a child at a time. The cyclo trip is also made with student tours and it’s amazing for students to see an Oriental city in such open vehicle of Vietnam.

There are times of trafic jams with motorbikes then we need the advices from tourguide when is good time to do this.  Prepare a clothes mask is a good choice to avoid the small uncomfort in this case.

The trip can be combined with attending a Water Puppet Show right in the Old Quarter. After the great time on the cyclo, they will stop us at the theater and the show comes afterward. The combination makes a great day of enjoying the real Vietnam cultural features.
