Great way to experience Hanoi food and culture! - HOA and Emma and the other drivers were so friendly and fun and we got to sample wonderful specialties at five different places.
They picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel in Old Town.
Loved this food tour and it was a great way to see the sights and sounds and smells of Hanoi at night.

A fantastic day! - I had a fantastic tour with Summi today! Her driving skills were great and her knowledge on Hanoi and the history of Vietnam were both excellent as was her English. We had an amazing lunch to start and visited many places I wouldn't have seen had I not booked the tour.
I highly recommend the tour!
Thanks for a great day Summi.

An excellent introduction to Hanoi in a fun and safe way - I had a great time on this tour this morning, thanks to Summi our tour guide, and Emma my driver. They made this a fun and educational experience, and put in the effort so we get the most out of the excursion. I felt totally safe as a passenger, thanks to Emma's careful driving and adherence to the safety protocols. Summi gave us a throrough explanation of everything we saw, and answered our questions very well and in detail. I am glad I went on this tour because I learned much more than I could have by seeing the same places by myself, and reading off the net. The bun cha we had for lunch was delicious at the Obama restaurant.
I can honestly recommend this tour to everyone visiting Hanoi.

First time on a moped, brilliant - A great tour round the city with Thea and two colleagues. They spoke excellent English and were very informative.
Lunch was fun as they showed us how to eat some dishes unique to one island near west lake.
Some of the route was through Banana island a lovely area, the old bridge was a surprise. (No spoilers)
Our first Egg Coffee at Train Street was lovely unexpectedly. The train passing was worth seeing too.
Well worth the money, four and a half hours passed so quickly.
Thank you
