In the early morning, around 5:30 AM, you will meet our private tour guide and head to the bicycle garage to select a bike that suits you. This private cycling trip will take you to West Lake, the largest lake in Hanoi, over a leisurely 2.5 to 3 hours, allowing you to experience local daily life. This area is popular among residents for morning exercises and jogging, providing a lively atmosphere.

You’ll enjoy a traditional Vietnamese breakfast at a local restaurant, where you’ll savor pho and a cup of “Ca Phe Sua” or “Den Da.” As you cycle around the lake, you’ll have the chance to visit notable temples, including Quan Thanh Temple and Tran Quoc Pagoda. You’ll also ride through Ba Dinh Square, where you can view the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum from the outside.

If you’re up early enough, you can start your day at 5:00 AM to visit Ba Dinh Square and the mausoleum in time for the Flag Raising Ceremony at 6:00 AM. As you make your way back to the hotel, you’ll experience the hustle and bustle of Hanoi during rush hour.
