Vietnam Backstreet Tours - you’re the best! - One of the most memorable experience! Our riders Boo, Dang, Logan and Chi took my mum, sisters and me to tour Hanoi on motorbikes - we saw so many places, including backstreets which are not accessible by car. I felt so safe as our riders are really experienced. I will bring my kids to Hanoi and go for this tour again! Super love it!!! Thank you again Dang, Boo, Logan and Chi for the best experience ever! :-)

Riding through the streets of Hanoi - These backstreet motorcycle riders are simply amazing !!! Best way to get Hanoi and its local people. You’ll get to taste local food, drink some egg coffee, visit local markets through the narrowest of streets, see the Hanoi train from one feet distance, and drive around all of the government buildings. I’d like to personally thank Nam for being the best possible tour guide. Fluent english, deep knowledge of the culture and history and a great person Don’t hesitate to start booking !

Very good - We have had a very good experience with Martin. He has taken us to local places that we would not go without his help and has helped us a lot to understand the culture and customs of the city. The treatment has been very close.

Amazing tour of Hanoi with delicious food and great sights - This was an absolutely amazing experience! Our guide (Martin) was very knowledgeable and we learned so much about Vietnamese culture and history, on top of an excellent tour of Hanoi and the surrounding country. I felt very safe on the motorcycle, and also greatly enjoyed the lunch spot they took us too. Anyone wanting an authentic tour of Hanoi should book through this company! Thank you for a great experience Martin!!!
