Traveler reviews
Loved our half day tour of the countryside!
We loved our half day tour of the countryside with John (Doanh) & Dong. We felt safe on the back of the bikes, and loved getting out of Hanoi city and in to the countryside. John was a great tour guide, full of knowledge and explained lots about the Vietnamese way of life. We visited a few local sites ending with a lunch at a locals house which we thoroughly enjoyed! Highly recommend this
Best time ever. Highly recommend.
Such a wonderful day experience. Oggy and Long were our drivers and they were fantastic. They took us to some amazing places. Well & truly backstreets of Hanoi. We had a ball. Thanks to the team.
Great Day in the Countryside!
Augie and Dong we’re wonderful. We were transported of Vespas. We went for a wonderful traditional lunch in the country. Grandma prepared spinach soup, eggplant, tofu, rice, and the best egg rolls we ever had. We went to shrines and Augie explained stories about the original capital 300 bc. we drove through countryside rice and lotus fields. Saw how the traditional families live and went to their market where we saw and Augie explained all of the authentic fruits, meats, fish, frogs, and even dog meat for sale. It was an amazing day! Thank you Augie and Dong!
Trip to the countryside
Auggie and Dong were amazing hosts. They gave detailed descriptions of where we visited and were a lot of fun.
The best tour to see another side of Hanoi
We took this tour after taking a few tours in Hanoi and it was so refreshing. We visited Hanoi with our teenage daughters and this was by far their favorite tour. Our guide Oggy was the best. So easy going, funny and knowledgeable. He knew how to adapt the information to be interesting for the kids and we got to see a total different side of Hanoi. A more peaceful and green one with real life going as it is.
