What a fun evening! This is truly the way to see Hanoi - on the back of a bike! I've lived in Hanoi for 2 years and can't believe I've never done this before! I saw more of the city than I've ever seen, and tasted food I'd never run across before! The guides are smart, funny, careful drivers who truly make you feel comfortable and safe. This was my second Taste of Hanoi tour - and we booked a third tour a few days later! You will learn a lot and get an awesome overview of the city and culture of Hanoi. I promise it will surpass your expectations!

Wow, what an amazing way to have your first taste of Hanoi. Brian is a very attentive and informative host, he is always ensuring that his guests are comfortable and happy. The food on this tour is excellent and a great way to experience what life would have been like in poorer times in Vietnam. The imagination that goes into preparing food with minimal resources results in interesting and flavourful dishes. Hanoi by night is beautiful and the cooking temperatures make it very pleasant. Brian and his staff took great care of us and at all times I felt safe and looked after.

Spent a great evening tour with Brian and his team. The great thing about this tour is that it complements the typical full-day city tours by showing you other aspects of Hanoi sights, life and food that the typical tours do not cover. We were introduced to a variety of local foods such as yogurt coffee and Bánh mì bread and visited some interesting sights such as the Long Bien Bridge and the Westlake area. Of course, the tour had us riding on motorbikes (as passengers) zipping in and out of Hanoi traffic and that is another experience in itself. Overall, we were well taken care of by Brian and the team and has a great evening. Highly recommended if you want to see another side of Hanoi in the evening.
