5.00We did our Hanoi backstreet Jeep tour with Jim as our tour guide and Mr Lucky as our driver. They took us to many amazing locations and it was a great way to see most corners of the city, as well as a local community. Jim’s knowledge about both the city and about food was very helpful, as was our successful visit to train street at just the right time to see the train — which not all tours can successfully facilitate due to police blockades, closures, and train timetables generally. There were some refreshments provided at train street and waters throughout the day, and the admission fee to the University of Literature was covered. There was one other couple with us, so it’s almost a private tour! The tour ends at a great cafe where you can enjoy a good quality egg coffee or egg chocolate. Thank you for a great way to explore the city in a short amount of time, best for short term stays in Hanoi!
Amazing and recommended!

5.00Absolutely amazing! Bee and Peter were amazing hosts, warm, informative, funny and super helpful. We really enjoyed the experience. Great way to see around Hanoi and The Hidden Gem really was a gem. Food was exceptional and the environment was a recycled art phenomenon. Can not recommend Bee and Peter and this experience highly enough.
