See Hanoi from an open-air Soviet-era GAZ-69 or UAZ jeep with an English-speaking guide such as Danny, Finn, Louis, or Tuna. You’ll visit quiet backstreets, Ba Dinh Square, Train Street, Long Bien Bridge, and a tucked-away café for Vietnamese food and drinks.

“1000/10, highly recommend. Tung drove like a pro, Hoang knows EVERYTHING about Hanoi, smooth sailing and a great time from the get go. The historical facts were all super interesting and relevant. All of the spots were must sees with some hidden gems that we never would’ve found on our own. Really experienced the city. Hoang and Tung made it a wonderful experience. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

Fantastic street food in the quirky places that adventurous tourists would want to experience. Travelling by motorbike added to the sense of adventure where my driver 'Rain' expertly guided us through the busy shoal of other road users. What an evening to remember.”
