Things to do in West Lake

Pietro was such an amazing tour guide. From the moment we arrived on the bus he was full of energy and very charismatic. He made sure to give us a thorough understanding of each place we visited so we knew the history and importance of the place. We got lucky with a small tour since this is off season for tourists, and this was actually really nice because we got to ask all the questions we wanted. He took really great photos of us and took us to a really nice spot for lunch, explaining all of the foods we tried beforehand. We will probably go back to that restaurant a few times before I leave! Thank you Pietro! Don’t hesitate to book this tour, you won’t regret it.

wonderful and meaningfull trip. we are late but Ms.Haedy and Mr. driver still to catch up the programme with us. credit to Haedy and Mr.Driver to assist us and take a beautiful memorable photos. warm hospitality. strongly recommend.👍👍

Our Tour Guide was Travis and our Driver was Mr Ming. Travis did an awesome job of keeping the whole trip entertaining by giving us a good and in-depth explanation of the history of each famous destination of Vietnam with great English! Mr Ming was able to being us to each destination quickly and effeciently with safety. Even with the jeep being manual drive, the ride was pretty smooth. Both also took the care and time to ensure everyone was safe. We were even given free ponchos to protect us from the rain. Overall, both of the did a great job to make our experience the best even with the rain.

If you have a tight schedule but want to experience a lot, I highly recommend this tour. I visited during the off-season, and personal travel was difficult due to weather issues, so it was great to be able to travel comfortably. Alex and Brian safely conducted the tour via motorbike and shared historical facts, making it a more meaningful experience than traveling alone. It suddenly rained heavily, and our clothes and bodies got very wet, but the guides did their best to help us resolve the situation, which was wonderful. The sudden rain caused some changes to our itinerary, and the route shifted slightly, but they frequently asked for our input throughout, allowing us to visit places we hadn't been able to see before the tour without missing out or having regrets. They seemed very concerned that we might not have fully enjoyed ourselves, but please don't worry, we truly had a great time! If I return to Hanoi, I'd love to meet them again. I couldn't fully express my gratitude because I'm not very good at English! Thank you so much!

Great experience! The guides were friendly and gave us a good sharing en route of the various architecture and their history. My group also enjoyed the ‘off the beaten track’ sort of experience into the fields. We went in July and began our tour at 1pm. The weather started off with a light drizzle, then warm sunshine, and we ended the tour in pouring rain. The guides were well prepared with poncho and water and we were in good hands. Won’t be sharing much photos as the tour is something to experience for yourselves. Enjoy!

The driver is nice and intime. We had a funny and memorable day. High recommend 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

book the tour the night before, they are on time with the schedule and the guide was knowledgeable about the places. Kudos to Mrs. Hue 🫶🏼

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!!!!

Hadea and our driver were both amazing, kept us well informed and went the extra mile with picking us up and getting all the goss on the good spots to have a drink as well as eat 👌🙏thank you so much for an amazing experience ❤️🤗
