5.00Thank you Lewis & Snow for the amazing motorbike experience. From the start, they greeted us with smiles and even arrived before the tour began (very professional). They took the time to ensure we had the best possible ride, without rushing, and most importantly, they made us feel safe throughout the trip, always ensuring we were comfortable. Thank you again! A perfect 10/10 from us! Keep up the good work :)
Hanoi Backstreet Tours. Full Day tour with Jim.

5.00My wife and I began our full day tour with a pick up from our hotel. Our guide for the day was Jim and a second bike driver. We spent the morning touring the city on the back of bikes including sites: St Joseph's church Drive around the old quarter Old Pagoda Some weaving through alleys and markets. Sampled some fresh Bánh cốm Coffee in the train alley. After that we stopped for lunch at the Hidden Gem cafe. Lunch was: Rice paper roll, Spring roll, Bahn Mi, Rainbow noodle salad (included beef) and we finished off with a Egg Coffee. After lunch we transitioned to a Jeep and continued the tour. We visited the B52 museum and the Temple Of Literature. That concluded our day with a drop off at the hotel. The full day tour could only be accessed through company website. Jim our guide was excellent, he spoke very good English and was very helpful with anything we needed and allowed plenty of time for us to look around and do what we wanted. The tour a great way to get introduced to how life and traffic function in such a busy and vibrant city. Would recommend it to anyone travelling to Hanoi.
Great introduction to Hanoi

5.00We did the “FULL DAY HANOI FOOD, CULTURE, SIGHT & FUN ON VINTAGE MINSK MOTORBIKE & GAZ69 JEEP – HBTC1“ with Jim. Booked direct on their website (the full day not on Viator) - cost 4,500,000 VND. It was a great introduction to Hanoi for us and covered a lot of areas we would not have tried to visit on our own, such as Banana Island. Thanks for a great day Jim!
