Fantastic tour! Well exceeded our expectations. Brian’s local knowledge & understanding of the history of Hanoi made the tour so interesting. We saw and learnt so much in half a day. We felt very safe on the bicycles with Brian leading us.

Fantastic tour! An exhilarating bike ride through the old quarter and across Long Bien Bridge. Brian is an excellent guide. We felt safe on the bicycles with him in Hanoi traffic, he made sure we had plenty of hydration and snacks. We very much enjoyed tasting local food like the egg coffee and sticky rice ice creams. Brian’s local knowledge and understanding of the colourful history of Hanoi bought the tour to life. A must do tour especially if you only have a short time in Hanoi, you will see and experience so much. Highly recommend.

I had a great tour on a bike through backstreets, over a market, some historical hotspots, a drink at an authentic cafe with a beautiful view, passed by some street art, went partly over the long bien bridge, through the countryside “banana island”, a stopover at a local little tea spot with lovely sweets, and an amazing nice desert from a lady at the street, and even more, with super friendly and caring Brian, who knows a lot about the history and also tells some funny facts and stories. I had a great time!
