Reviews
Booking with Klook was convenient because I didn't have to negotiate myself. I could also specify the drop-off location in advance. It had been a while since I rode a cyclo, and I enjoyed seeing Hanoi at dusk from a different perspective. You can take in the sights at a leisurely pace, unlike on a motorbike or in a car. However, there's a lot of exhaust fumes, so a mask might be essential.
Was a fun little experience. Felt bad for the driver as it was a hot and humid day. It's a cheap and fun tour. So tip the drivers well!
It was wonderful. The staff was friendly, and just like the reviews said, there was no pressure to tip. They worked so hard and did such a great job that I happily gave them a generous tip out of appreciation^^ You definitely have to try this ride.
. Overall, it was a memorable tour, but a couple of practical details could be improved. The Positives: Full Old Quarter Coverage: The route gave us a complete look at the bustling streets, architecture, and vibrant atmosphere. It’s a classic, enjoyable Hanoi experience. Areas for Improvement: Lack of Airflow: Doing the tour at noon was extremely hot. The cyclo my family member rode had no fan attached, making the ride quite uncomfortable under the midday sun. Installing small personal fans on all cyclos would dramatically improve guest comfort during hot hours. Conflicting Tipping Policy: The travel agency explicitly told us before departure that tipping was not required. However, upon arrival at the end of the tour, the cyclo drivers actively asked us for tips. The agency and the driver team need to coordinate better on tipping guidelines to avoid awkward situations for guests.
a great way to see local life up close. maybe a ride around the lake could be added.
the guide barely speaks English, he only toured around French quarter, one big round around the parliament and pointed out the vietcom bank, parliament, water puppet place and some iconic hotels. we didn’t see train street or anything interesting, he was smoking and as he passed other workers, he was yelling loudly and chatting with them. the whole tour I guess I could have walked it within 20-30 mins myself. he pedalled really slowly and it was really hot. basically he prob did that so the time would pass sooner and he don’t need to pedal that far
extremely disappointed. half the itinerary wasn’t done as closures, however after prepaying I was happy to give a tip but driver demanded almost what we paid. very disappointing
