This tour will definitely be one of the best highlights of our trip to Vietnam. The flavours, the sights of Hanoi and the history. Our guide Summi was so lovely and super knowledgeable. The tour was so well organised and we were lucky enough to get the best tables at every location 😊 So much fun to do this tour by Jeep. Thank you Summi and team for a wonderful evening. This tour is a must!

Summi and the team were absolutely fantastic. Pick up was on time and we were treated to a wealth of knowledge as we drove around. The food stops they took us to were fantastic and all of the different flavours really highlighted the freshness of everything. We went past the train stop markets and was blown away by how many people were there and just how organised it was. I would highly recommend Summi and her team to show you Hanoi and learn about the city…
I had a great experience with Summi, Minbha, and Kai. The places.selected by Summi was authentic and great value. We also had additional security in the form of Kai. Made us feel really safe, VIP treatment and will highly recommend Thank you for an amazing experience.
This was the highlight of Hanoi: Summi and Kai were our tour guide and driver and were fantastic. The food was excellent and their knowledge and enthusiasm was the best. I can’t recommend this highly enough.
We did a Jeep Food Tour in Hanoi with our young children and loved it. Seeing the city from an open ex-military jeep is a fantastic way to explore different neighbourhoods while enjoying great local food. Our guide, Happy, was outstanding. Her English was excellent, she was knowledgeable without overloading us, and she explained the food, the city, and everyday life in Vietnam in a clear and engaging way. The tour felt relaxed, personal, and very well paced. Our driver, Khang, was highly skilled and professional, navigating Hanoi’s intense traffic with impressive calm and confidence. His driving made the entire experience feel smooth and safe, which is essential in a city like Hanoi. In around four hours we enjoyed Vietnamese breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert, and also stopped for egg coffee at Train Street, with the train passing just an arm’s length away. A very well-organised experience and a great introduction to Hanoi’s food scene. Highly recommended! Ask for Happy and Khang.
Perry was a great guide! He taught us history about Vietnam as we drove around and taught us some Vietnamese phrases. We ate delicious food which he taught us how to properly enjoy, which we wouldn't have discovered without him. Highly recommend this food tour for first time visitors to Hanoi.
Omg best tour we’ve had in Vietnam. Chris was so amazing. We had so much fun! He made it such a good night. Our driver Va (Mr Kim) was hilarious and such a good driver!!
We had a great time with Perry and Bao as our tour guides. Wonderful hospitality and service. Highly recommended to all our friends and family
Chris and Bao took us on the Vespa Countryside tour for the half day with the best tour guides ever. Chris was very informative on the areas that we toured. Plus they were a pleasure to talk to about non tour subjects. We really learned a lot about the Vietnamese culture . Going into the home of the owner of the bonsai trees was great seeing how people live in this area. We were so happy that we took this tour it really was a highlight of the last few days.
I had bean as my guide , picked me up from hotel on time , we had lunch that was included, local dish was delicious 😁, than went on to see the sights , had few brakes to drink and relax. Great experience , I appreciate the experience and answering my questions . I wish I could speak Vietnamese as Bean speaks English. Thank you Bean for a great experience 🙏 Happy New Year 🥳
What an exhilarating tour! Perry and Bao had impressive Vespa- handling skills ! We had a great lunch and then a tour into the countryside. The highlight was meeting the couple at the Bonsai House and the afternoon was rounded off with an excellent coffee! Perry was a very knowledgable guide - thank you!
Thomas & Boa are excellent guides. They have taken us to some of the most interesting places. Al communication was in English. Even with the rainy weather it was amazing. All safety protocols have been adhered.. lunch awesome (bbq pork and noodles) and finished with Vietnamese egg coffee…
Was such a nice way to see the country side. Chris our guide was fantastic. Couldn’t recommend it more. Make sure to bring and jacket
We had a Fabulous countryside trip with Mr. Chis and Moi. They were super warm and friendly. Chis was an excellent guide and a narrator. His English was so good and we were super comfortable with them from the word go. We first had our lunch in a vegetarian place, an excellent choice picked by them. Follow by this we went to long hein bridge, and then moved to rice field of hoi pu village. Riding down the lanes of this village was such a great journey and we met the locals and spoke to them as well. The rice fields were vast. Chis being an excellent photographer himself took some wonderful pics of us. Post this we moved to the ancient temple. The architecture of this temple is so unique and rich in culture. Post this we went to another locals house. Mr.Canh and his wife. Mr. Canh is such an extraordinary person, a war veteran who fought the Vietnam war and takes pride in the beautiful bonsai trees that he has grown along with a 60 year old bicycle that he owns. He narrated the stories of the village and Vietnam war and about the trees he has grown with immense passion. We had a great time looking at his trees and plants collection. Post this we went to an old heritage cafe and had egg coffee before ending the trip. Overall my wife and I had excellent trip with chis and moi who were more of friends during our trip and we dint want the trip to end. 0
I had an excellent trip with my guide Dat! He handled the Vespa like a pro! We had delicious lunch, took my on a great tour of the countryside, visited a temple, saw impressive Bonsai collection and finished with egg coffee. It was an enjoyable afternoon!
Amazing tour with Tomas and Mr Bean! After a few days of walking around we wanted to try something different. So interesting to see Hanoi on the back of the Vespa, visiting the countryside and meeting locals. Loved lunch and the egg coffee too. Thank you for this eggsellent experience!
It was a great day for a Vespa ride in the countryside! Fun, knowledgeable team answered all of our questions. We loved the lunch, too!
Tony and his group took our 2 two families (5 adults and 5 kids), on the motorbike tour and they were all great! It was such a great way to explore Hanoi and its countryside. Tony and the other guys were so knowledgeable. They were also great with the kids. Our youngest was 8 yo, and she loved and was never nervous. They were also able to accommodate us when we needed to change the tour day. Would highly recommend it!
Very good moment with our guides-driversThomas and Bean and the two young men who accompanied us. We really appreciated their safely driving (traffic in Hanoi is crazy 😅). Our meeting with the owner of a 150-year-old house in Bat Trang was a precious moment for us and we will cherish the gift he gave to us. Thank you !
What an amazing tour, it started with meeting our tour guide Bill who was simply brilliant. I was a bit apprehensive of getting on a Vespa but he put me at ease immediately. The tour was fantastic, everything on the brochure is what we did, so enjoyed it. My husband and 2 teenage sons thoroughly enjoyed the day. We would highly recommend this tour . Half day option is great value which included a traditional lunch. Egg coffee was a lovely treat at the end.
Amazing trip if you want to get out of Hanoi and see the countryside. Your guides were excellent and very knowledgeable. They make you feel comfortable and make sure you have everything you need. Highly recommend
Excellent day, thoroughly recommend this tour. Great experience riding on the back of a bike through the streets and alleyways of Hanoi into the countryside. Wonderful opportunity to meet with locals and spend time with them. The guides Su, Linh, Ngin, Mai, Hung were so friendly and informative passing on their knowledge - it felt like we spent an afternoon with friends. Didn’t want day to end. Thank you for a great day.
We had a fantastic tour of Hanoi countryside with Thomas and Bean as our guides. They were very friendly, knowledgeable and great riders. They took time to explain the history of where we went, and plenty of time to take photos. We were taken to parts of the country side that we would not have found on our own. Highly recommended
This was one of my highlights of my trip to Hanoi. Thomas our group leader was the most friendly, helpful person you could ever hope to meet. Like all Vietnamese people he was courteous, polite and a joy to spend time with. His colleagues Bean and Bao took exceptional care of us. They were knowledgeable, helpful and I simply enjoyed their company. The tour took us on Vespas to see the beautiful countryside which was a tonic after the hustle and buste of Hanoi city centre. One of the most memorable parts if the trip was meeting with Mr Canh and his wife. What an amazing couple! He was very proud of his Bonsai garden and gave us a tour. He also regaled me with stories of his life during the Vietnam war. This tour is a must! Do it! You won't regret it.
Thomas, Bean and Bao were excellent. They showed us around in a country side for some interesting sites and the lunch and the egg coffee were great as well. We would never find those places by ourselves. Had a wonderful experience, thanks to them!
We had a wonderful time sightseeing countryside and visiting pottery village, via farm land, we got to speak to farmers which was educational too. Highly recommended
This was a blast and has been the highlight of our time in Hanoi. Anh our guide was informative, easy to understand and was very enthusiastic. She and the three drivers were great. Three of us (60/60/20 years old) felt safe on the scooters and enjoyed them so much more than a car or jeep. Highly recommend this tour!
We were picked up by 2 cute young men at our hotel. Then we drove out of town, visited a costumery and an older lady with a fantastic bonsaite collection. We were past rice fields and a citadel. We had a local lunch and a good egg cake before we rounded the opera house and were set off at our hotel. It was an exciting trip with 2 good guides, Ninh and Bean.
