Private food tour by motorbike - I am Vietnamese American and lived in Vietnam many years ago. I was visiting Ha Noi with my American wife who never been to Vietnam but has had lots of exposure to Viet foods.
This private Motorbike food tour was perfect for us. It was personalized for our needs. 2 drivers with just us 2. We had fun traveling on the backs of our guides motorbikes. Chung Hoang was our main guide and spoke excellent Vietnamese. We got delicious local food and visited locations we would not have done on our own.
We would highly recommend this tour to anyone!

DO THIS!!! - Looking back on 4 days in Hanoi in a group of 7 work friends this was the best activity we did. A bunch of lads all rocked up on mopeds and it was 4 hours of history and awesome local eats only a local could find. At times crazy laneway action. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Very best introduction to Hanoi - It started as a rainy day in Hanoi. Max reassured me he will keep me safe and that he did. He is very professional young man! He took me to all the sights and more! I come from California and told him I am very familiar with good Vietnamese foods so he took me where he would go and I loved them all. I just hope you get Max with you because he absolutely made my introduction to Hanoi the very best I can ask for. Thank you Max!

Amazing motorbike food and history tour - Andy and crew took my family and me on a fantastic tour of Hanoi. His English was perfect, and his knowledge of the local history and food vast. We really enjoyed learning about the city’s history and visiting several places not on the typical tourist bucket list. The traffic in the city is insane, but they took good care of us on their motorbikes, bringing us water bottles during breaks to cool down in the summer heat. We stopped at three places to try different foods, which my whole family thought were delicious. We were full after three, but Andy had many recommendations of other places we could try in the city. We are still traveling in the country, but this may be the high point of our trip. Highly recommend Andy for a tour!

Great tour of Hanoi - Lucky was a great guide and really knowledgeable. We went all around the Old Quarter and also to the outskirts of town with a pitstop for coffee at a truly local cafe with a great view. The roast pork and sticky rice lunch, Nem Nướng Nha Trang, and Che Chuoi desert were also amazing. I highly recommend this tour and Lucky as a guide!

Love this tour - The guide drove very safely and was able to recommend great hidden spots around the city. He is also a good conversationalist. I took the evening tour, which was perfect because it wasn’t too hot.

MAXimum fun, MAXimum food - How lucky we were to have Max as our guide.
If you want to get a real feel for Hanoi, it's people, culture and food then I definitely recommend asking for Max and taking a motorbike food tour.
Max has so much knowledge and such a passion for his home town and is very experienced and safe in amongst the crazy evening traffic.
Having a private tour meant being able to see so much.
From seeing the B52 in the lake, The Opera House, the mosaic wall and riding over Long Bien Bridge. Mixed in with people watching and so much food. We even stopped at train street and front row for the night train. It was exciting from start to finish.
Thanks Max. You made our stay.
