Full description

This is a 1-hour experience in Hanoi. It is run by ANH VIET HOP ON - HOP OFF VIET NAM, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

A private day with a driver-guide is the way to see the most of a Japanese city or region in one day, because it removes the transfers between sights that eat a third of the day on public transport. Prices are usually per vehicle for up to a set number of guests rather than per person, and cover the car, fuel, tolls and the guide; entrance fees and lunch are paid as you go unless the listing says otherwise. Japanese guides are licensed for the work and typically punctual to the minute. Give the operator your priorities, and expect them to reorder the day around opening hours and crowds; that is what you are paying for.

The price covers 1 Round Hanoi City tour bus ticket, City map, Free water, Free Wi-Fi and Audio guide: English, French, German, Spanish, Russian. It does not cover Entrance fees, Food and drinks, Gratuities and Hotel pickup and drop-off, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

ANH VIET HOP ON - HOP OFF VIET NAM sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with ANH VIET HOP ON - HOP OFF VIET NAM before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Includes

  • 1 Round Hanoi City tour bus ticket, day or night tour
  • City map

The tour is not good at all. There is no one to tell you where to go or what to do you have to show up to the meeting point and start asking people which they don’t know any English after that you jump in the translation is forward and you can’t see What is translator is talking about when you tell the staff headphone is not matching what we saying they telling you this is because of the GPS signal and if we lost the Translate. I don’t know what’s going on. They keep moving and keep saying some stuff you don’t know about it. The bus stopped for one second He just keep it and when I ask him reg

It was pretty good apart from the weather. The commentary kept breaking up. But overall it was good 👍

Tour agréable (attention à la météo soleil ou pluie mais il y a la possibilité d’être à l’intérieur du bus climatisé). Cependant parfois les explications coupaient avant la fin et il était difficile de savoir de quel bâtiment on parlait (annonce tardive).

Leider war wegen des Feiertags ein Teil der Strecke gesperrt. Der Treffpunkt war auch eher verwirrend erklärt sodass wir 40 min zu Fuß zum Treffpunkt unterwegs waren.

Die Kopfhörer haben erstmal nicht funktioniert. Die neuen gingen dann aber die Audiodatei war sehr schlecht. Im Hintergrund lief dauerhaft Musik und somit hat man kaum etwas verstanden. Der Sprecher der deutschen Sprache war auch nicht gut und man hat ihn kaum verstanden. Zwischendurch ist die Audio einfach abgebrochen und einzelne Stellen wurden auch doppelt an verschiedenen Straßen mit dem gleichen Inhalt abgespielt, was keinen Sinn ergibt. Wetter bedingt mussten wir unten sitzen und dadurch, dass das Fenster teilweise zugeklebt war, konnte man nicht wirklich etwas sehen. Also war eigentlich

Malheureusement il y a beaucoup de décalage entre les explications et les lieux visités.

Audio war sehr schlecht bis gar nicht zu verstehen, somit finde ich ist der Sinn dieser Tour dahin. Zudem viele gleiche Straßen doppelt befahren.
