My wife and I booked the motorbike evening food tour with Tien and Marie. It was a blast. They took us around to 7 different local places to eat and try different types of food. We went all over the city and we had a great time. They took the time to explain all the different types of food and helped us to try and learn the language so we felt confident when we were on our own. Cruising around on the motorbike was a blast and felt completely safe the entire time. 5 stars and we would book again in a heartbeat
Dear Jame, Thank you so much for leaving us an excellent review! We are so delighted that our team was helpful and informative! Enjoy your holiday! Best regards, Tony. OneTrip with local Team.
This tour is highly recommended! Get out of the city a bit a find out more about the history of Vietnam and Hanoi! We saw plenty of things we just did not expect! Highlight for me was the bridge! Tony was amazing and very knowledgeable! If you ever go to Hanoi, then make sure this tour is on your list of experiences!
Thanks for taking your time and effort to write for us really nice review. Our guide, Tony, would be so happy with your beautiful words! It is our pleasure to hear that you enjoyed the tour with us. Hopefully, you have a great trip in Vietnam! Best regards, OneTrip with local Team.
Tony and his friends looked after us very well for several hours. We were a family including two children aged 7 and 9. We took four bikes in the end as we felt the 7yr old was a bit young to be on a bike on his own without another responsible adult with him. We took in many of the sites and Tony's knowledge was very good about the locations and history. His English was very good too. The other drivers were also very friendly but the feedback was that during the part when we were driving, I probably had more things pointed out to me than the others (I was with Tony the guide). We felt safe at all times and din;t worry about the kids. We saw many parts of Hanoi and some of the parts that were a bit off the beaten-track. I walked away thinking I had a great experience but still wanted to know much more about Hanoi and spent real time at one of the bigger ticket museums/locations which we didn't do. But for a 4 hour tour I guess that's the point. Highly recommended.
We had a fantastic afternoon with Tony and 3 of his colleagues riding around Hanoi discovering places we would never have seen on our own. Despite the intense heat, Tom made the experience so enjoyable with his knowledge and perspective as a local uni student. His English was great! And they were very friendly with our children. Highlights were going to the railway line, seeing some street art, visiting banana island, eating Bung Bo and sticky rice ice cream which was a godsend in the heat. We would highly recommend going with this company to get a more local experience. They were extremely professional and safe riders as well. Thank you Tom and crew
