Cyclo in Hanoi (Xich lo)

Question

I tired of walking so I guess taking a cyclo is a better choice to to look around and take photos. But I have not try it yet. Can you guys tell me more about cyclo in Hanoi ?

Answer 1

As well as the sightseeing tours you can also take a cyclo instead of a taxi or motorbike. I’d only really recommend this if you’re going somewhere reasonably close to the centre, and would combine it with the Old Quarter tour. A reasonable price is 100,000 VND for one person for one hour. If two of you want to share then expect to pay a bit more.

Answer 2

I think the perspective you get from a cyclo ride is worth seeing — plus it’s far easier to look around and take photos if you’re not watching where you’re walking the whole time. Cyclos mostly ferry tourists around Hanoi's Old Quarter. You'll probably be spotted by a cyclo driver before you spot a cyclo! Standard rides include trips around Old Quarter streets including Hang Bac, Ma May and Hang Ma. Expect to pay in the vicinity of VND100,000 for one person per hour.
