5.00This half-day Jeep tour was a great way to experience Hanoi beyond the usual sightseeing. Riding in an open-air Jeep through backstreets and local neighborhoods gave the city a completely different feel — lively, authentic, and full of character. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, sharing stories that helped us understand Hanoi’s daily rhythm, not just its landmarks. The local meal and egg coffee were simple but delicious, and the pace of the tour felt relaxed rather than rushed. With hotel pickup and a small group, it was an easy and enjoyable way to spend a few hours in the city.

5.00This was a great tour! They picked me up and dropped me off at my hotel. Our tour guide, Linh, was awesome! She took care of everything for us. The food and coffee were very good. You get out of the jeep and walk a few times throughout the tour, the streets are packed and colorful. I had so much fun, thank you!
A unique and thrilling way to see Hanoi!

5.00Doing a Jeep tour was the best decision we made in Hanoi. It was so much fun weaving through the chaotic traffic and narrow alleys that you can't reach by bus. We saw the "real" Hanoi, from the Opera House to the Train Street. Our guide told us so many hidden stories about the city. An absolute must-do!
A perfect afternoon tour.

5.00The "Military" Jeep Tour Exploring Hanoi (4-5 Hours) This tour is ABSOLUTELY WORTH THE MONEY if you want a genuinely different way to experience Hanoi. 🚗 The Ride & The Route Sitting in the classic, open-air military Jeep, the feeling is incredibly "badass" and free. It’s nothing like riding a motorbike or taking a regular car. The local guide navigated us through small alleys and lesser-known local markets, then still made sure we hit must-see spots like Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and Train Street. The itinerary achieves a perfect balance between exploring hidden corners and checking off famous landmarks. 🍜 The Culinary Highlight: TOP-TIER Bun Cha The food aspect of the tour was completely satisfying. The traditional meal was delicious, and I must specifically emphasize: THE BUN CHA THE TOUR TOOK US TO WAS AUTHENTIC AND EXCELLENT! I wanted to go back for more right after finishing. The Egg Coffee was also a delightful way to wrap things up. 👍 Conclusion Who it’s for: Guys who like vintage vehicles, light adventure, and want to feel the authentic pulse of Hanoi. In short: Unique Jeep experience, passionate guide, and delicious Bun Cha that you can’t fault. Highly recommended!
