5.00We chose to join this tour on the day we arrived in Hanoi, tired from a long flight and a bit jet-tipped! And I'm so glad we did! Our guide Lewis and driver An were both fantastic. They handled the chaotic traffic well, and the trip was very safe and comfortable. Lewis was very easy to talk to and provided lots of interesting information about Hanoi and Vietnamese history. An was a very calm and professional driver – no anger at all while driving, despite the chaotic traffic! Overall, it was a great experience to start our exploration of Hanoi.

5.00This was an all day tour. Motorbikes in the morning, and jeeps in the afternoon. In the morning we saw sights in Hanoi (such as the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum, the Presidential Palace, and the War Remnants Museum). In the afternoon we went farther afield, including seeing farms within sight of Hanoi. Our guide Johnny was very knowledgeable and provided great insight into what we were seeing. It was a great tour.

5.00A great half day with our energetic and enthusiastic guide Louis and our driver Soan who skillfully navigated the busy Hanoi traffic. Great coffee at Hidden Gem Cafe, and all the main attractions and side streets were enjoyed by our family. The private tour for our family of 4 also allowed us to move freely as we pleased.
