Together with the Hanoi food adventure, It is culture adventure! Hop on a Jeep, Motorbike or Vespa and ride through the hidden maze of backstreets, narrow alleys, and bustling local markets that pulse with the real rhythm of Hanoi.

Oggy and Louis were brilliant tour guides. This was a really fun way to see Hanoi and try the local Vietnamese food of which everything was excellent, and all for a very reasonable price. I can’t thank you enough for such an unforgettable experience for our family trip.
We did our jeep tour today with oggy and Louis and it was fantastic. We had some fantastic food, saw so many great sights including train street. Both guides were great, and a special mention to the most handsome one oggy. Thanks guys!!
Excellent Tour, Great Guide, Good Food.. would highly recommend. Thanks to the tour guides who really made the experience.
Our tour guide Louis and Oki were excellent! We were a group of 10 (in two jeeps) and had a great time! The food was lovely!
Excellent tour with John. Left feeling very full and content!
What an amazing experience this was. Exceeded expectations, wizzing around Hanoi on the back or a motorbike - seeing sites like Train Streets and eating delicious food. Baki and Snow were the best guides ever - so knowledgeable, enthusiastic and just great fun to spend an evening with. Book this tour - you won’t be disappointed.
We just did the jeep food tour and it was absolutely amazing. Our guides Kai and An were brilliant. They were friendly, attentive and made sure that we had plenty to eat. They took us to “only locals” places to eat and the food was outstanding. They were wonderful at explaining every dish to us. Thank you so much Kai and An. You made our last night in Hanoi a memorable and fun one. Thank you also to our driver Suc. We would highly recommend Hanoi Backstreet tours. They are the best.
A fantastic, pulse-pounding way to see the real Hanoi! Booking the vintage open-top Jeep tour through Hanoi Backstreet Tours was truly one of the highlights of our trip. Zipping through the hidden backstreets and exploring vibrant local neighborhoods was an incredible experience. What made it even more special was the culinary journey—every restaurant we visited was Michelin-listed, serving delicious, varied, and authentic dishes. Our guide, Kylie, was fantastic, full of warmth and great cultural insights. Highly recommended!
We recently did the evening food tour with Kai, our lovely guide and An, our fearless driver. The food was delicious, our highlights were the Hidden Gem cafe, and the unexpected surprise desserts that Kai found for us, we won’t spoil the surprise. Train street in the evening was fun and we saw a lot of central Hà Nội. It was a Sunday night so most of the inner streets were closed for pedestrians but An got us back to our hotel through some tricky navigation.
Tuna was a friendly and courteous guide. He took us to the true local places to eat. A very authentic experience and the jeep ride was so fun!
We had an amazing food tour with our guide Tuna! We visited many different places that were off the beaten path. He was friendly, personable and funny and took care of everything for us. Highly recommended for your next trip in Hanoi!
Doanh (John) was amazing! He will give you the best tour of Hà Nội. He is hilarious, very friendly and safe. I trust him to give me a great tour every time we come to Hà Nội!
The best tour I’ve had in Vietnam!!! We went with Doanh (John). He made the tour 100% worth it. The food was so good I couldn’t stop eating and he took us to all the local spots. Make sure you come with an empty stomach!! And also pick the motorbike/vespa ride. It was really cool to be able to weave through traffic. Totally recommend this tour, don’t bother looking anywhere else.
This was such and amazing experience and we definitely came away with a food baby. Rocky and the drivers (sorry I can’t remember their names) were so attentive and great at explaining different types of foods from different regions and history behind them. We felt very safe with our drivers as well, as traffic can be chaotic. We also did train street at night which in my option is better than day , as the atmosphere with the beautiful lighting and decor is magical. We give this tour 10/10. We look forward to booking with you again next year and trying your other tours. Ps another bonus they pickup and drop off to your hotel ( some companies make you meet at a meeting point).
John was amazing (the good looking one 😜) so engaging and knowledgeable - we had a brilliant night - highly recommend but even more highly recommend John as your tour guide ! Thanks you so much 🤗
Really good trip and you get a front row seat at the Train street, with all food and drink included. Make sure you come hungry.
Ofgie is a great guide. Fantastic tour.
John was a fantastic guide, full of energy and fascinating tales about Hanoi. Our family thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience and would highly recommend. And if you do decide to book, ask for John (the good looking one!)
The most amazing experience and John was incredible and he was the best guide for our family and I would recommend this tour with him again.?
Being in a open car is great we ate great food and I tour guide John is really nice and funny. worth it
Tour guide with John, was such a fun trip definitely recommend it
Motorcycle food tour with Doanh (John) was fabulous an exciting ride through Hanoi's local landscape eating magnificent food in places that would be hard to find. Absolutely recommend you do this tour
Unforgettable experience with Oggy and his gang of fun and experience riders. We went to places that we had not even thought of and were amazed by everything. Being in the traffic on a bike gives you an excellent sense of immersion in the real Hanoi. The tiny streets, the train, the food are all exceptional. Thanks Oggy. He even remembers everybody's name in our group of 11. Amazing.
I loved this tour. Food was great. Make sure you are hungry because there is plenty. The small alley ways was so much fun. Great for all ages from 10 to 57.
Excellent experience. Doanh was an a amazing tour guide and so was my motorbike driver Snow !
If you want to taste the real flavour of Vietnam, along with local history and culture, ask for Doanh
The drivers were really professionals. Our tour guide (John) really funny guy, very open to discuss everything with details. The food was awesome! Highly recommended
Me and my family had the absolute best time doing the motorbike food tour, and would recommend it to anyone. Our guide Doanh was such a lovely and helpful person and he ensured that we had a really enjoyable time. The food was delicious and our drivers and guide were so knowledgeable and kind.
Great food and a great experience. Tuna was an amazing guide. Highly recommend!
This experience was amazing! So many great food spots and Tuna was the best guide! Would highly recommend if you want to experience food, culture, and new things.
We had the BEST time on this tour! All of the food stops were delicious, and I felt completely safe on the bike with Tuna. It was a blast, would highly recommend!
Amazing evening with Oggy and the crew. Booking process was seamless. Instructions and explanation was very easy. On the day of the tour Oggy contacted us through WhatsApp and sent very good instructions on where to meet since we were staying outside of the old quarter. The drivers were very experienced, professional and safe. The traffic was so busy but they were expert navigators. The food and explanation of the food experience far exceeded our expectations. We saw so much, ate so much and had an experience of a lifetime. Highly highly recommend this tour company.
Great food and Oggy and his group were amazing guides
This is the second time I'm doing this food tour. This time we visited some different stops and places than the first time. Doanh our guide was very knowledgeable about the Vietnamese and Hanoiain cuisine and culture so we learned really a lot of interesting facts and things about Vietnam. We had really delicious ban xeo, banh khuc and sine other really delicious local dishes. It was really very nice Friday evening in downtown Hanoi and we really recommend it. We might do it again.
John our guide was great. Friendly and very knowledgable. Gave us lots of interesting information. We went to various places to eat and tried many different Vietnamese foods and drinks. Good to tour on the back of Vespa bikes too. Would recommend the tour and our guide John
Rocky and Manh were amazing tour Guides. My wife and I had a lot of Fun. Great food and good company. It was really cool to see places we wouldn't have had the chance to see on our own. Food was Awesome! Thank you!
Jenna (tour guide) & Mr. Park (driver) did an amazing job. Our family had a memorable time discovering new delacacies in hidden away spots. These are places we would not have found on our own.
Oggy, Linh and Long were amazing guides. The food and each stop experiences we did, are now lifetime memories. We highly recommend them, and would do the tour again.
Had an amazing experience! The food and tour arrangements were perfectly planned—everything flowed smoothly and we got to enjoy the best spots without any stress. A special shoutout to our driver, Ling, who was incredibly caring, attentive, and made the whole journey even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a well-organized and memorable experience!
Oggy, Ling & Long were awesome and had a ball
Our guide Ria and our driver Lucky created unforgettable experiences for us on this tour. We learned so much about Vietnamese food and Hanoi. Tried foods we would not have thought about on our own at places both famous and unknown. Ria's expert coordination made it all so easy, we were just able to sit back and relax. Choosing the jeep option was such a great choice because it allowed us to take in the sights and feel the cool breeze as we zipped around. Choose this tour, it's a very wise investment with lots of plusses! Thank you for showing us Hanoi, Ria!
Kai and Quang were both fantastic! The hospitality was more than what we expected. They shared the rich history of the city and pointed to key sites. They made us feel very comfortable and went above and beyond the service. I like that we bonded on stray dogs in the city and charity initiatives. The hidden gem cafe was my absolutely fave! The rustic, recycled and creative ambience was just perfect. Food was superb. Thanks Kai and Quang! We’re lucky to have met you
Absolute must do tour when in Hanoi! Kai and Quam were expert drivers and we felt very safe. It is thrilling to be part of the hustle!! Kai was a fantastic tour guide with lots of knowledge, humour and friendliness. He was accommodating to make sure I had delicious food without any meat in it....and it was delicious!! Fantastic from start to finish and also helped me sort my payment patiently at the end as I had mucked it up 🫤. Highly recommend. Thankyou Kai and Quam.
Undoubtedly will be one of our favorite experiences in Vietnam! Kai and his gang (August, Hau, and Dong) did an amazing job accommodating our needs and requests…with kids in tote, they understood the tour would need to bend a little and they went out of our way to make for an excellent experience. Kai was super knowledgeable and spoke perfect English. We would definitely recommend this tour!
This Vietnam tour was honestly such an unforgettable experience 🇻🇳✨ Kai was an amazing guide—super friendly, fun, and full of interesting stories that made everything come to life. Huge shoutout to our drivers August, Hau, and Dong who made every journey feel safe and smooth (even with the busy traffic 😅). Everything was so well organized, from the beautiful places we visited to the incredible local food we got to try. The whole trip felt fun, relaxed, and special from start to finish—I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Vietnam 💛
I had an amazing time on the motorcycle food tour in Hanoi! Our guide, Kai, was very knowledgeable about the city, politics, culture, and anything we asked him about! The locations we went were both tasty and local. My driver, Manh, was very nice to talk to and I felt safe on the back of the bike the whole time. Overall I would recommend this tour for anyone visiting Hanoi!
Our tour guide Kai was absolutely amazing and so nice and knowledgeable. We had amazing food and met amazing people. It was also our first time on a bike in Hanoi and felt so safe. Would definitely recommend for a unique and fun activity.
Our your leader Jenna was terrific and ably assisted by Tung who drove through Hanoi’s chaotic traffic. We enjoyed the food choices and the story telling at every stage. We particularly enjoyed ending the tour at a local street side ‘fresh beer’ stop. All great experiences. Thank you Jenna and Tung
Mr Wind and Jenna, the best diver and food guide combo ever. Food was amazing. Mr Wind glided through the busy Hanoi traffic with grace. Jenna is bubbly, genuine and knowledgeable of the traditional foods and ways. A wonderful family experience
