Best experience ever! Oggy, my guide, was very knowledgeable and an amazing motorbike driver. What a thrill to weave through Hanoi rush hour traffic heading to the countryside. Busy main streets led to off-road tracks in the midst of farmland and fresh air. From there, we made our way to Bat Trang Pottery Village and had a go at some clay! We finished back in Hanoi with a delicious Buncha and take away many great memories.
Excellent experience with excellent tour guide and motorcycle riders
Had a great time with the family. The people taking care of us made it a way better experience. Friendly, empathetic and also great value for money
Amazing tour, Oggy our guide was very funny and knowledgeable - learnt plenty of things about vietnam culture. Would highly recommend this tour. All the drivers super nice and great drivers :)
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
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.
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!
Auggie and Dong were amazing hosts. They gave detailed descriptions of where we visited and were a lot of fun.
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.
Tuna was an amazing tour guide. We got to do so many things on this tour and got a beautiful experience of the countryside. It was so fun and we got to spend so much time on the bikes. We did so much in just a couple hours and our guide made conversation with us the whole time and I loved speaking with him. This is well worth the price and the meal at the end was so yummy and they accommodated super well for my vegan and vegetarian friends!
