⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Amazing Hanoi City Tour – Highly Recommended! We had a wonderful experience on the Hanoi City Day Tour! Everything was well-organized, enjoyable, and memorable. A special thank you to Stella for her excellent service, friendliness, and knowledge. She made the tour extra special and ensured we had a fantastic time. We would also like to give a big shout-out to our driver for being professional, friendly, punctual, and ensuring a safe and comfortable journey throughout the day. Both Stella and the driver went above and beyond to make our experience truly enjoyable. We couldn't have asked for better service! Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hanoi.

Highly recommend tour. I had Bee as our guide and she had lots of history knowledge. The driver was good as well. The food was great and the sights were also good. I recommend the night one as we had sunset but the war museum was closed as expected after 5:00pm but was able to see the outside which had plenty to see. It is good value for money.

We visited three city attractions in the morning and three in the afternoon, each with its own unique charm. There wasn't much walking, so it wasn't overly tiring. Lunch included local cuisine, which was hearty and saved us the cost of a meal. Among the six attractions, I particularly enjoyed One Pillar Pagoda, Hoa Lo Prison, and Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum; they truly capture Vietnam's unique character! I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see multiple city sights in a short amount of time without worrying about transportation!

We are so thankful we did this on Day 1 in Hanoi. IT IS A MUST! If you want a full immersion in the city, the motorbike ride will guide you to the spots and bring you to amazing places! We feel grateful for our two tour guides, Minh Ngoc and Liam. We want to have more time with them, but the day should end. Thank you so much!!!!

This tour was such a great experience! we had Mike as our guide and he was such a genuine and kind person who truly loves what he does. It was a great way to get around to some of the main landmarks eothout having to get a grab everywhere but also a nice break to 'Banana Island' in lush greenery once you get there. (Ignore the rubbish along the way, as this is a slum area and no policing this. Mike explains this very well. So be mindful.)

I had a wonderful time with Trang, our tour guide. This tour was very worth it given the experiences you get — it is food, culture, scenery all-in-one. I was not able to capture all the scenes but it felt like we were able to see all of Hanoi. Being on a jeep made it more fun. Trang is very helpful and took lovely photos. I highly recommend this tour :)
