5.00Amazing experience with an Amazing guide. This motorbike tour was the highlight of our Hanoi trip. Q, our guide, took us through key cultural and historical landmarks via hidden backstreets and lesser-known paths: authentic local neighborhoods, bustling markets and hidden alleyways that tourists rarely see. We experienced real daily life, from dodging motorbikes to sampling incredible street food at spots where only locals eat. If you want to see the genuine side of Hanoi beyond the typical tourist sites, this immersive tour is absolutely the way to do it.
