5.00Our guide Summer and driver Tom were brilliant. Jeep travel lets you hear, see and smell the chaotic activity around you, a true insight into life in Hanoi. Summer was friendly and fun, great with our kids and captured our experiences with lots of family photos. A fantastic trip with everything from back street markets and visiting a locals home, to the diplomat and government buildings, it had it all, we loved it
A delightful and informative exploration of Hanoi

5.00This was a great tour. In addition to seeing some major “tourist” sites of interest in Hanoi, we were afforded a fascinating and delightful “peek behind the curtain” to see real Hanoi life in its back alleys and neighborhoods. Our guide, Hieu (a/k/a “Rocky”), was a charming and engaging instructor on Vietnam culture. A recent university graduate with a degree in tourism, he went out of his way to make it a special day for us. And, kudos as well to our driver, Tan, who did a masterful job of negotiating the thrill ride that is Hanoi traffic.
Great tour of local culture!

From alleys with residential housing to local food and beer to the best seats to watch the train pass. They answered all questions with great humor and knowledge.
