- 11Lynn110 contributionsIf you only do one thing in Hanoi!!If you only do one thing in Hanoi then DO THIS!!!! Absolutely brilliant. Firstly let me say it’s not a “food tour” so if you’re a foodie don’t be expecting that. Having said that they take you for food at the beginning- there’s lots of it and it’s very tasty. My family can be a bit fussy but they all enjoyed it and the hospitality and setting is excellent. After that let the fun really begin! Don’t be nervous the drivers are SO safe I never felt scared. You see all the main sights, stopping for plenty of information and photos, The generous stop in railway street full filled a life time ambition of mine, enough time for a couple of beers and watch a train come through. I’m not a fan of organised and we usually prefer to explore by ourselves but the extra perspective and information we got from this was so invaluable and more importantly FUN FUN FUN!!! From local backstreets to main sights and everything in between- this covers all the bases. A special shoutout to Jimmy who delivers all the facts in a fun way and takes great photos to share with you afterwards (no charge) and Hinh - and to all our drivers who gave us so much extra info and got us around safely! Don’t think I’ve ever written such a lengthy review I’ll wrap it up there!!!! JUST DO IT!!!Written September 17, 2024
- Brandon M0 contributionsExcellent tour!Kai and the team took us to the best parts of Hanoi and shared with us the history of the city. I highly recommend others attend this tour!Written September 17, 2024

Great tour where we really got to see the local backstreets of Hanoi. We sat in alleys eating local street food, got invited inside to a family where we had Tea with them and learned some of their history. But most credit goes to our tour guide who har great English and personal stories that made it more interesting and fun to learn about the history of the city.

We are a family of four with two kids ages 1yrs and 2yrs. This was a great way to see the city with a short time frame and included a few of our tick items like train street, local wet markets and long bien bridge. Our guide John was super nice and friendly and really good with the kids too. I didn't see they had a full day option which included the countryside as probably would have selected that one! But loved the tour we did. Thanks John!

We were picked up at our hotel by Hoa, our guide and Viet our driver. Hoa was totally amazing and was very informative with her knowledge of the history of Hanoi. Viet was very accommodating and considerate when it came to parking the jeep if we stopped, bearing in mind that the weather was extremely hot and he parked in the shade as much as he could xx thieve two youngsters knew their stuff and were absolutely lovely xx Hoa took good care of us when we exited the Jeep and were in the local sightseeing areas x they made our trip so enjoyable and I would highly recommend this trip to anyone xx there was cold water, juice and beer made available on this journey and the lunch at the start was absolutely stunning x local food and restaurant was extra-ordinary xx well done guys x awesome trip with fabulous guides xx good luck to our amazing guides in their future and their studies at Uni xxx

For a solo traveller who hates queueing and visiting monuments/museums inside for hours, this is just what I was looking for. While enchanting also unconventional; they will not take you inside temples or monuments (only one). Instead they will transport you across town to learn the history of Hanoi from locals point of view and also you get to meet very humble people. Lunch at their restaurant (point of gathering) is amazing, very tasty 😋 and then off you go around the city and meeting some great points of views of the city, also get to meet actual locals at their very humble homes and businesses, full of joy and happy to tell you about their country history and people’s resilience. We had the lovely company of Ryley our tour gal and Johnny our driver were awesome! Ryley shows how much she cares for her culture and people to get to know more about it! I’ll no doubt recommend this tour to anyone it was just AUD $80 including meals and drinks for 4.5h. Thanks for a great afternoon Ryley & Johnny

This tour is a must do if you are in Hanoi. This guided tour takes you around Hanoi to experience some of the best local cuisine in hidden locations. The guide will also take you around the city to visit the different areas and will share history about this magical city. Our guide T was fantastic! He spoke very good English, was very knowledgeable about the city and he went above and beyond to ensure we had the chance to experience the best food and sites of Hanoi. The Jeep was awesome too! Great tour, highly recommend!

We did a 3-hour ‘catching sunrise’ tour starting at 6am and you know when the tour guide is so good at what he does you don’t feel sleepy at all even though it’s so early in the day. Our tour guide is Sang and he is a sunshine to the trip. Very knowledgeable and fun. The trip is also a nice way to get to know the city and its main destinations. Highly recommended. You’ll feel like a royal being in the jeep car🤣

Overall a really great way to see Hanoi for the afternoon booking. We started with a very nice lunch at hidden gem cafe which was quite filling and went for an hour, then we drove around for about 3.5hrs and sometimes got out for short walks. Sim was a great guide, very informative, helpful and friendly. After lunch, the only other food we had was one sticky cake and a coffee in train street later in the day. You can also ask for coconut coffee or another drink like egg chocolate instead of egg coffee.
Be cautious that the company will try to get everyone to write a 5 star review near the end of the trip and will even ask you to change the review if you don't give 5 stars. It was a great experience, but slightly tainted by being pressured to write a good review.
The Jeep itself was a bit slow, bumpy, confined in the backseat and easy to knock knees on metal, but it was nice being elevated and we otherwise felt quite safe. They provided broad brim hats if needed. We didn't get to see the train go past despite what the website said, it sounds a bit hit or miss whether you get to see it or not. After the tour, we went back to 'Hanoi 1990s' cafe around 7pm to see the train go past south train st.
Although a bit pricey, I would still recommend doing the tour, it was a very nice afternoon with a nice lunch, just take the exceptionally high ratings on trip advisor with a grain of salt.

A wonderful, educational, interesting and funny tour through the sights & sounds of Hanoi. The Jeep was great, authentic & spacious enough for all 6 of us and added to the enjoyment.
Particular highlights were the train street (non-touristy) and the food stop at ‘the Hidden Gem’……the hidden gem is great, will definitely return.
Expertly hosted and guided by the brilliant Tam…..fully recommend this tour and Tam to others.

Absolutely stunning experience and highly recommended.
Tony as the guide is the best you can get; he is witty, helpful, knows and is passionate about his work and a good photographer too. He took us to places we could not have gone to ourselves and it was worth it. Just go by his suggestions for the trip and you will love it. And yes, no language barrier for Tony spoke proper English. Do NOT miss the "Eiffel Tower" or the train street for these are both 5 star experiences.
What stood out was not only the open jeep (50+ years war vehicle but in perfect shape and you get to wear army hat and feel like a celebrity with everyone waving at you as you travel) but quality of service. Right from the booking related discussion with Tommy (owner of the company) where he was so so helpful and even helped us plan and book our rest of Vietnam itinerary to the way the day was executed in an organized manner, it spoke volumes of the level of professionalism but all was done with a customized and personalized touch. With food and drinks being part of the package, it made it a perfect setting. Selection, taste and presentation of food was very good and dinner was in Hidden Gem Cafe, where the entire cafe is made out of recycled materials by the owner himself. Ask him for the inspiring story behind it and it will surely move you.
Everything about this trip was spot on. We will surely recommend Hanoi Backstreet Tours to everyone.

We had a great time with our energetic guide, Sang. He shared great insights on the city life and made the tour most enjoyable and fun. Our afternoon tour started with great food at their inspiring “eco-base”. The tour itself, on a historic UAZ jeep, took us to most iconic places in the city and also to parts of the city usually missing in the more commercial and touristy routes. Wet markets, local neighbourhoods gave us great insights on the live of everyday people in Hanoi. The tour was perfectly timed to end up at Train Street, just in perfect time to enjoy some drinks and don’t miss the afternoon train! We fully recommend this experience to anybody interested in discovering Hanoi’s soul. Thanks, Sang! To you and to all the Hanoi Backstreet Tours Team. keep it up!

Hello - we went on a tour 2 weeks ago and our lovely tour guide James Bond. He bought us a dish from the market to try and I can’t remember the name of it. It was wrapped in a banana leaf (I think), and was sticky / stir fried rice with mung beans, peanuts and pork floss. Please can you let me know the name so I can look it up and try to recreate it when we go home! Thank you
