5.00We had an amazing motorcycle tour through Hanoi today. Dave was our guide and did a fantastic job explaining everything along the way – both the history and the present-day life of Vietnam and Hanoi. Our second guide (sorry, I forgot her name) drove us safely through the city. The tour was spectacular and very well organized. We saw so much: the Train Street, the Old Quarter, the French Quarter, the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum area and many other interesting places. Dave shared lots of insights and stories that really brought the city to life. Drinks were included and we also enjoyed a very delicious lunch. Overall, we were extremely satisfied and can highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hanoi.
Do not miss this adventure!

5.00Louis was my guide and driver. He made me feel safe riding a motorbike; I had a great experience with them and would recommend them to anyone wanting to explore the upscale and less affluent regions of Vietnam.
Shout out to Louis and his team

5.00My Hanoi city tour with guide Lewis and driver Hau was fantastic. They gave me a wonderful experience of the city. They provided me with so much information about local life, and I even got to see trains running through the railway street. I highly recommend this tour to explore and learn about the city.
