Not only is this a great way to meet fellow travelers but is a novel and exciting way to see a city. Hanoi is a bustling, lively and interestingly crazy city and to be in an open ex army jeep merely heightens the enjoyment of seeing the city at close quarters. Our guide Leo was tremendous- witty, knowledgeable and fun and our driver a real professional. There are many tours to see the city, but be sure to add this one - you won’t regret it!!

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.

Super fun and unique way to get around Hanoi! Our guide was super lovely. People definitely notice you in this mode of transportation but they're friendly about it haha. I did this with my parents in their 60s and it was ideal because my mom can't walk too much.

Sehr schön und interessant

I had such an amazing experience. Tony was phenomenal and took so many amazing pictures. He also made several suggestions on places to take a look at Hanoi. He was also on time and knows alot about Hanoi. Highly recommend this experience. You won’t forget it.

The tour was great. However, what would make it even more fantastic to go with the "Instagram-worthy" title is to offer professionally taken pictures as an add-on service.
