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.

Good tour- excellent guide

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.

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.

As with all arrangements in Vietnam, the driver was punctual and the guide was very knowledgeable. The small tour was just our party of 2. The guide's English was very good and he was willing to talk about his life in Vietnam.

Very good tour. Since I was the only one signed up, it was like having a private tour. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant--took me to a great local restaurant. I found the Museum of Ethnology less interesting than some of the others ones, but that is just my opinion. Overall, great tour and I would recommend it.

Good day, small group, very small car was organised which made the trip a little tight to travel. Very informative guide.

Doing what: Private Tour: Hanoi City Full-Day Tour including Cyclo Ride

The cyclo ride is the worst way of getting around Hanoi. Awful pollution, with exhaust fumes in your face, and so awfully hot without much shade.

A great tour, but the cyclo ride at the end may not be to everyone's taste.
