I was disappointed with this tour. We hit the main sights, but the guide was pretty low energy and didn't provide much background for us. The place we stopped for lunch was indeed a local spot, but there are better local spots. Hanoi is an interesting city, I'm glad that I continued to explore on my own.

Excellent tour guide who knew the history and culture of his region. He was obviously proud of his homeland and enjoyed sharing his knowledge with me. I was the only one on the tour and felt comfortable at all times. Cyclo ride was fun.

There ended up only the two of us, so it became a private tour...even better!!! Very good tour.

Top guide, good coverage of the city, Cyclo Ride up to expectations. All in all value for money and something that should be done if visiting Hanoi for the first time.

A most excellent day out. Full of history and atmosphere. The Cyclo ride was terrific and the lunch should not be missed.

A slight misnomer as only the first part of the tour was related to Ho Chi Minh. Not as informative or interesting as a similar trip in HCM and guide was inexperienced and might still be waiting for us in the hotel reception had we not, after 30 minutes waiting in the reception, tried to locate her.

Well done. I was the only person signed up for this tour, but they operate it anyway. Both the driver and the guide were great. The guide was very well informed and went out of his way to ensure the tour was a good one. He even carried my camera past security for me at the mausoleum to make sure I could take pictures from inside the security zone. The only thing I would have liked was a slightly longer day. But then again, if there had been more people on the tour, it probably would have been longer.
Review by Undercover American, Australie, October 2010
Faded French colonial buildings are the background for the buzz of modern Hanoi. Wander these streets and you will see the juxtaposition of old and new, communism and capitalism, rich and poor. Sidewalks are filled with action, people eating, children playing and everywhere there is something for sale. Buy pineapples sold from a bicycle, turtles in plastic bowls, cheap t-shirts and brightly colored toys in small shops. This one is best experienced through the soles of your feet.
Review by Skootre, USA, September 2010
Hanoi is one of the best destinations in Vietnam, and old Hanoi is the best of the best. The streets here are amazing. Choc-a-bloc with people, stalls, restaurants, bars. It's one of the finest open-air people-watching experiences you could ever wish for. Highly recommended.

We were picked up on time however, the guide did not know what the itinerary of the tour was and looked to us for guidance. He called the office who advised him of the locations we would be visiting. The Mausoleum is worth seeing and although the queue looks endless, the wait doesn't take long. The Ho Chi Minh complex was interesting but elbow room only. Temple of Literature wasnt that interesting for us.

The overall tour was adequate. However, waiting one hour after lunch for the missing driver was unacceptable.
