Full description
This is a 4-hour experience in Hanoi. It is run by Real Vietnam Travel Company, 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.
Pickup is offered from Hoàn Kiếm and Hoan Kiem; the exact spot and time are agreed with Real Vietnam Travel Company once the booking is confirmed, and the option you choose sets whether transport is included.
The price covers Pick up and drop off from the hotels in and around Hanoi, local guide, Vietnam People’s Army Legend Jeep with a skilled and, Lunch or dinner and Rain poncho if needed. It does not cover Tips for the guide and driver, Personal expenses, Additional food or drinks not mentioned in the itinerary and Travel insurance, 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.
Real Vietnam Travel Company 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 Real Vietnam Travel Company before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Traveler Reviews
We booked this last minute after getting a bit overwhelmed by the traffic mess and how busy Hanoi old quarter is to walk around. We thought this tour would be a good way to get our bearings and we were right. Our guide, Nam, was so wonderful. He is knowledgeable, friendly and ensured we got a lot of information. We found the value for money was incredible. You get a delicious Buncha lunch and go to a lot of iconic spots. I highly recommend this tour for people getting to Hanoi for the first time!
Great experience to see Hanoi in whole, we saw everything and Sam was great with the tour, he explained to us everything and showed us. Great ride and great company. Would recommend this to everyone coming to Hanoi!

Kin was an excellent guide he was knowledge and friendly. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see Hanoi sights.
An absolute must for first timers, and alike, to Hanoi. Seeing and experiencing the highlights and the real Hanoi with a very knowledgeable local guide. All the inside information of their culture and traditional beliefs. Delivered with much enthusiasm and cultural understanding. An amazing local Vietnamese lunch. Followed there after by the home of the original egg coffee. Thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend.
What a great way to see Hanoi. Our guide and our driver looked after his perfectly. Worth every dollar and would happily do it again. You experience much more from an open car. The meal was also beautiful.
