5.00The itinerary went smoothly with beautiful sightseeing trips around the city. The food was delicious. We felt safe riding on the motorbikes, even though it was our first time, and we thoroughly enjoyed seeing the city from a new perspective. Thank you, Louis and Xuan, for a wonderful time!

5.00Fantastic tour! We felt very safe in the hands of our bike riders, who took us to some really cool spots. The highlight for us was our stop at Train Street to see the train pass through. Dave and the other drivers were great and made our tour a fun, safe and exhilarating experience. If you are looking for something less touristy and a bit different, I highly recommend Hanoi Backstreet Tours 👌👍😁
Crazy fun Hanoi backstreet motorbike tour!

5.00If you want to have a fun night in Hanoi than this a must do tour. Our guide Kai was very fun, friendly, and knowledgeable about the local areas we visited. The food at the Hidden Gem was also some of the best we had in Vietnam.
Great tour of areas you wouldn't otherwise see!

5.00We had a great time exploring the narrow alleys and markets of Hanoi. We started by going to the bridge over the Red River, which fortunately was not yet closed for renovations, and stopped outside some important sites such as the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and various embassies. We also went to train street and saw the train go by, which was much closer(and slower) than I expected. Kai was an excellent guide and driver. Loi and Xuan were great drivers. We also had some excellent food after the tour at the Hidden Gem Cafe in the old quarter.

5.00On our first day in Hanoi, my mom and I joined a guided tour led by Louis and Mike. From navigating the bustling motorbike traffic to enjoying delicious food, it was the perfect way to get acquainted with the city. Louis and Mike made sure we felt safe while they told us about the city we were exploring. This is a must-try experience when you visit Hanoi!
A must when visiting Hanoi.

5.00Amazing experience - exploring Hanoi by motorcycle is a must and truly feels organic. Mason was awesome and treated me like family. I booked a private tour and requested that it not follow a rigid itinerary and focus on local places as opposed to those which are “touristy”. Would definitely recommend.
Best tour so far in vietnam
