If you love jazz music this tour is the best. I would recommend doing this when you arrive in Hanoi as the streets you visit you will likely want to visit again. Thankyou Duc for showing me the coolest parts of town. Loved your knowledge and chats. Really had a great night
Highly recommend Duc and his street food secret music tour. Duc very knowledgable and lots of fun! Had a tasty meal at local restaurant on Beer Street that as a regular tourist you’d walk right by. Definitely hanging with a ‘local’ is the way to go! Thank you Duc!
We had a fantastic night with Duc. We started with egg coffee we had great drink stops and an amazing dinner. The night ended with a fantastic jazz bar. I would highly recommend this tour. Duc was fantastic and very knowledgeable. He was highly recommended by a friend and he did not disappoint
We had an amazing night! Right from the start with our exciting motorbike ride through the bustling streets of Hanoi we knew we were in for a treat. Duc was very knowledgeable, and he told us about history in Hanoi and showed us hidden places of interest. We tasted some of the best food and drink the city had to offer as well as taking in the sights, sounds and smells of this wonderful place. We finished the night off with a visit to the local jazz club which was surprisingly great. We felt safe and entertained every minute of the tour and were left with huge smiles on our faces. Thank you, Duc, for a fabulous time! We would highly recommend this tour to everyone especially if you want that special view of the city only a local can give.
The guide didn’t speak English well He wasn’t attentive If we stopped to see something, he walked on, never looked back, we had to find him He wasn’t attentive rushed for some reason. We made one food stop The jazz band was very good. We enjoyed the music. We were tired and ready to leave. The guide wanted to stay until the end of the band’s performance. He helped us get a cab back to our hotel. We went on our way and he went his way
I am very sad that the black woman in California criticized the tour guide for being Vietnamese. The two women were sophisticated, always looking down on, demanding vegetarian food while the niece was pleasant. They demanded to go to the restaurant, ordered too much food, couldn't finish it, and fell asleep while listening to music. I introduced them to the history and culture of the Vietnamese people, they ignored the stories, got angry because of unreasonable demands while not listening carefully to the tour guide. I sent them restaurant addresses, they lied. They are tarnishing the image of the American people 🇺🇸 in the 21st century and the friendliness of the Vietnamese people.
Had a fun night with Duc, he’s a local and well know around Hanoi. Walking around historic sites and then great egg coffee, beer, noodles and desert, ( Old Quarter had quiten down and was more relaxed) and then short ride to jazz club. Great jazz and cosy laid back club, I really enjoyed the evening, caught a Grab taxi home.
Duc was an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly. He has an extensive understanding of Vietnamese history and culture. We were taken to see many wonderful sights in this vibrant city. Highly recommended. Thanks Duc. We had a great night.
What a fab evening spent with Duc, showcasing sights and hidden gems in Hanoi Old Town! A great introduction on my first evening in Hanoi, seeing so much on the back of a moped and learning about Vietnam and Hanoi from an informative and humorous Duc! A real ambassador for the city but kind, helpful and engaging. All the food and drink stops were great, the upstairs coffee house overlooking the lake was a real gem, the tasty Pho was amazing but the highlight of the evening was the fabulous Binh Minh Jazz club! We arrived by 9pm d as nd were able to sit at a great table- the ensemble were excellent and acoustic at venue were good- a mixed audience of both young and older, who appreciated the musicianship and repertoire! Great vibe in downtown Hanoi!
Thank you for your help

Thank you for your help
I had a great meal with my tour guide Duc. We met some girls from Japan while dinning. Visited a jazz bar with fantastic music. Not being familar with Hanoi, it was great to have a guide that knew the city well. Just a fun night out.
Thank you so much
