Our guide, Tyson was knowledgeable, communicative and FUNNY! I learned so much about Vietnam’s culture and perspective on life. Banana Island was beautiful and buncha was tasty. I would book this again. The jeep was too cool. We also had a great driver- Nick.
Great tour getting to see the sights of Hanoi. Our tour guide Tyson spoke English very well and was knowledgeable. The banana island visit was particularly good, getting to see a more peaceful side of Hanoi and welcomed into a local couple’s home for morning tea. Finished the tour off with bun Cha which was delicious!
A great way to explore Hanoi in half a day with a guide. Our guide, Tyson, was very fun, friendly, and informative.

amazing trip and we really love Tea
We took a guided tour with Tyson in a vintage jeep to Ba Vi national park. This was an absolutely wonderful tour! The open air of the jeep was very nice for air flow and to take pictures out the side. Supposedly this jeep saw action on the battlefield to transport generals back in the day. Our tour guide, Tyson, was a delight. He is super knowledgeable, charismatic, and passionate about his country and his people. The park itself is beautiful. We were driven up the mountain and walked the last 2000 or so steps up to the top to the Ho Chi Minh temple and the Bao Thien pagoda. The views from up top are amazing. After the park we went for a nice home cooked meal before returning to the city for coffee. I would totally recommend this tour and especially Tyson, the best tour guide we’ve ever had!
We had an amazing experience exploring Hanoi with Elisa! The tour was very diverse, interesting, and perfectly organized. Elisa is incredibly kind, friendly, and welcoming. She made sure we felt comfortable throughout the entire tour and we had so much fun discovering different sides of Hanoi. I would definitely book a tour with her again and highly recommend her to anyone visiting Hanoi. Thank you, Elisa, for such a wonderful experience!
Minh was absolutely amazing! Very enthusiastic, funny and knowledgeable! Highly recommend Minh!
Great value for the tour! Our tour guide, Dan, was engaging, informative and overall, excellent! I traveled with my sister and mother and we all agreed it was fun and we enjoyed learning about the history of Hanoi and seeing all the sights. A great way to get a taste of Hanoi, especially if you have limited time available to explore.
Dan was amazing. Very informative and dealt with all my questions. Helpful in taking a ton of photos for us. 6 stars.
Our guide Elisa was amazing. She has a great knowledge and passion for her country and shared both with the group and made the tour fun at the same time
Our guide Viet, was amazing. Had such a great time. It’s the perfect opportunity to see everything and get some local knowledge and experience.
This 4 hour tour exceeded my expectations. Learned a lot about Vietnamese culture and got to tour the city in an old Soviet jeep! DAN was an amazing guide who spoke great English and gave us a ton of detail at every stop and happily answered all of our random questions. I recommend this tour even if you're seen some of the local stops because there is so much more that you would probably never experience (like banana island). The driver was great also.
Tea and Honey were amazing guides!
