I absolutely loved this tour. My guides Finn and Son were awesome, and it was incredible to have a one-to-one experience with them as the other people that booked sadly didn’t turn up! We saw some of the coolest backstreet sites, and I really enjoyed the little secret spots that they shared with me that you would only get with locals! Also, the included lunch was amazing, I didn’t even realise that the tour included the meal. They did a fantastic job of doing an all vegetarian version for me and absolutely everything was delicious! I learned so much from the store and had a great time on the vintage bike and taking photos

Good fun to ride on the back of the motorbike, excellent driver & the guide was maybe of the best english speaking guides I’ve encountered in Vietnam. Fun & instafriendly hidden gems, definately worth seeing/experiencing - & I’d never would have found them by my self. Highly recommended.

A really good, not so typical, experience for someone who has never been to Hanoi before. I took my (active) parents in their late 70s and the drivers made all efforts to help them enjoy the tour despite their age. The tour guide Mai/May is also excellent and very personable.

The guide was perfect, intelligent, smart, friendly and gentle. This tour was worth joining thanks to his coordination. I enjoyed so much and could get most of Vietnamese culture.

Incredible experience with Lucy, it is very worth it, she is totally devoted to making the whole tour a pleasure, a 10, I would repeat for sure
