Paul, Finn, and Cya was amazing! My husband, daughter, and I had a wonderful time. Our guides knew so much history of the places we visited. They also knew how to maneuver their scooters around the very congested Old Quarter area, which made us feel very safe. The food was great at the stops we made. We also were able to experience train street as the train passed by within inches of our feet. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting a Vietnam experience. Hopefully you’re lucky enough to get Paul, Finn, and/or Cya.

Walter was filled to the brim with history and knowledge of Vietnamese culture. Seeing the sites in Hanoi were beautiful but his insight added so greatly to the experience. Every food stop was delicious and just the right amount, come hungry and you will be happy.

This tour was such an Incredible way to see the city! Mac was my tour guide and he was so thoughtful with little things such as getting on the bike and making sure I felt comfortable. He brought me to places I’ve never heard about. His understanding and knowledge of vietnams history was very impressive. The food shops felt authentic and I was able to try things I’ve never had before. Would 10/10 recommend! Thanks so much for making my night, Mac!

Had so much fun driving around old town with Brian and V. Even though the traffic was crazy they managed to keep us both safe. They were easy to understand and explained all the food and historic sites. Felt like we were hanging out with friends for a few hours!

We had a really fun time with Long and Ryan. Gave good insights and took us to places we wouldn't have ventured without the guidance. The stops were fun and intentional, the context provided was insightful and not overly done. We are very happy we did this.

Tom is a little legend. If you are apprehensive about jumping on the back of a bike, Tom is your guy. He’s natural confidence is matched with amazing situational awareness and which meant I never felt even the slightest concern in the busiest of traffic. A natural conversationalist, you start with a guide and leave with a friend. His English proficiency is next level, so friendly and humorous you can’t help but have a great time. No need to keep browsing tours, if you want a back of bike experience in Hanoi look no further than this tour.

Walter was my guide for the motorcycle food tour and it was a great experience. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about history. He took me to the pagoda and literature temple. We started the tour with a delicious breakfast and finished with the lunch and the famous egg coffee. It was amazing navigating the chaotic stress of Hanoi with sick a skilled rider! He was also the best tour-rider-photographer!!!! I would do the tour again and again to see diferente places each time!

The tour was amazing. Walter is the best guide any traveller could ask for. He gave me options between seeing the cultural side of Hanoi or the historical side. He is one of the best scooter drivers I’ve seen and can navigate the city extremely well. The facts ranged from the deep history of Maison Centrale to the past kings and burial rituals. He showed me the best places to get bánh mì and dry pho. He brought a positive energy from the very start of the tour and was able to answer all of my questions about Hanoi’s history and culture. I’m so glad I book this tour and couldn’t have had a bett

Frequently Asked Questions
