This tour was excellent and made me feel that I truly experienced the culture in Hanoi. Duc started the tour with 1 sightseeing stop at a cathedral. Since I was traveling alone, he took me on the back of his motorbike to the next tour stops. Sitting on the back of a motorbike and weaving through traffic is an unique Hanoi experience that I will never forget. The next few tour stops included coffee in a hidden, quaint cafe above the streets, beer at stop 1, spring roll at stop 1.5, beer at stop 2, noodles and beer at stop 3, more beer at stop 4, and then travel by motorbike to a quaint jazz bar with a talented band at stop 5 (plus more beer). Don’t hold me to the exact count of beer stops as I lost count after too many beers. All food and drink costs are included as part of the tour. Going through the beer tour, I felt the energy and the bustle of Hanoi. It was great conversing with Duc about life in Hanoi and the views of the local people. Duc has traveled outside of Vietnam and loves meeting people. It was a great experience for me and I would highly recommend his tour to others.

Streets of Hanoi with food and jazz

chantellef, Jun 2026

If you love jazz music this tour is the best. I would recommend doing this when you arrive in Hanoi as the streets you visit you will likely want to visit again. Thankyou Duc for showing me the coolest parts of town. Loved your knowledge and chats. Really had a great night

Good jazz music

Cheryl_R, Mar 2025

The guide didn’t speak English well He wasn’t attentive If we stopped to see something, he walked on, never looked back, we had to find him He wasn’t attentive rushed for some reason. We made one food stop The jazz band was very good. We enjoyed the music. We were tired and ready to leave. The guide wanted to stay until the end of the band’s performance. He helped us get a cab back to our hotel. We went on our way and he went his way

Response from Host, Mar 2025

I am very sad that the black woman in California criticized the tour guide for being Vietnamese. The two women were sophisticated, always looking down on, demanding vegetarian food while the niece was pleasant. They demanded to go to the restaurant, ordered too much food, couldn't finish it, and fell asleep while listening to music. I introduced them to the history and culture of the Vietnamese people, they ignored the stories, got angry because of unreasonable demands while not listening carefully to the tour guide. I sent them restaurant addresses, they lied. They are tarnishing the image of the American people 🇺🇸 in the 21st century and the friendliness of the Vietnamese people.

Fun night, great Jazz

John_C, Jan 2025

Had a fun night with Duc, he’s a local and well know around Hanoi. Walking around historic sites and then great egg coffee, beer, noodles and desert, ( Old Quarter had quiten down and was more relaxed) and then short ride to jazz club. Great jazz and cosy laid back club, I really enjoyed the evening, caught a Grab taxi home.

Great music, great vibe with Nr Duc- Cool one!

Catherine_B, Mar 2024

What a fab evening spent with Duc, showcasing sights and hidden gems in Hanoi Old Town! A great introduction on my first evening in Hanoi, seeing so much on the back of a moped and learning about Vietnam and Hanoi from an informative and humorous Duc! A real ambassador for the city but kind, helpful and engaging. All the food and drink stops were great, the upstairs coffee house overlooking the lake was a real gem, the tasty Pho was amazing but the highlight of the evening was the fabulous Binh Minh Jazz club! We arrived by 9pm d as nd were able to sit at a great table- the ensemble were excellent and acoustic at venue were good- a mixed audience of both young and older, who appreciated the musicianship and repertoire! Great vibe in downtown Hanoi!

I had a great meal with...

Daniel_C, Oct 2023

I had a great meal with my tour guide Duc. We met some girls from Japan while dinning. Visited a jazz bar with fantastic music. Not being familar with Hanoi, it was great to have a guide that knew the city well. Just a fun night out.

Nice tour for married couples and friends

James_S, Feb 2023

Duc was a great tour guide and my wife and I had a great time together learning about the culture and food. Would recommend.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thank you so much. See you in Hanoi again.

ジャズの演奏は素晴らしい

Toshiaki_S, May 2024

時間設定に余裕がありすぎますが,ガイドさんや仲間との会話で盛り上がれば問題にならないでしょう。しかし今回のガイドのDucさんは英語の発音が独特で,何を言っているのか私にはあまり聞き取れませんでした。またジャズバンドの演奏中,彼は音楽に興味が無いようで,一番前の席でずっとスマートフォンを操作していました。

Response from Host, May 2024

Thank you for criticizing me, I have served you from beginning to end, but you don't understand English. You pay the service fee but you act uncivilized, you criticize our service while you act incorrectly towards tourists from a civilized and polite country like Japan. You don't know how to communicate with me, you criticize every place, you can't drink beer, you criticize the noisy seating, you change the food, I have to take a taxi for you, at the bar you listen to music and I have to translate with your friend. We are very sad that you act like that. I hope you will have luck on your next trip.
