The $43 tour includes Hanoi pickup, lunch, entrance fees, water, and an English-speaking guide. Guides such as Liam, Max, James, and Tim have earned strong praise for their energy and care.

“I'm very torn on how to write this review... Our guide was great- good English, very energetic. Van was comfortable. Temple stop was nice, good information by our guide. I think we stayed too long though. Everyone was just standing around and we could have gotten on the road to the next stop. The cycling was only ok. Very old bikes and not really much to see on the route, especially when trying to dodge potholes. It was extremely hot but that is not the fault of the company. Lunch was not good. Not only was the food sub par but I also found something in one of the dishes…”

Also the brakes are close to non existent. It's lucky there isn't much traffic but the hills were hard work with the bike they supplied”

“Ruben was an excellent guide! He was both knowledgeable and excited about the city history. He waited anytime someone got stuck behind because of a red light. When a chain fell off one of the bikes and one bike got a flat tire, he quickly addressed both situations. The bikes were very comfortable and I didn’t have any issues with mine. It was a beautiful day in a beautiful city for a great ride.”
