Enjoyable tour around historic Hanoi - We had a great time on this tour with Hun. The places we stopped at were very beautiful. Hun was very knowledgeable and friendly, we enjoyed having him as our tour guide. We also liked the Pho restaurant that Hung took us to. It was difficult to find a restaurant that was open because it was Lunar New Year when we visited. Hanoi has beautiful architecture and history. I highly recommend having Hun as a tour guide.

Hanoi City Tour - Our guide Ms. Linh was very courteous and sweet. My one negative comment was regarding the terrible experience on the drive/trip back to the cruise ship port after touring Hanoi. We should have been given a chance to use the bathroom/toilet before the long drive; we were stuck in traffic for one very very excruciating long hour before the bathroom break, not an enjoyable drive at all!!!

Perfect Hanoi Shore Excursion – Highly Recommend! - I booked this tour through Viator at the last minute, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The service was professional from start to finish, and everything was perfectly timed—we were back at the port a full hour before the ship departed, which gave us peace of mind. Our guide, Bryan, was absolutely fantastic. His knowledge, friendly attitude, and engaging storytelling made the trip unforgettable. The itinerary was well-organized, and we visited some of Hanoi’s most iconic spots, including the Ho Chi Minh Museum and Ho Guom Lake. Both destinations were incredible, and Bryan shared fascinating details about the history and culture of each place. I experienced this tour with a friend, and we were both thoroughly impressed. It was a seamless, stress-free way to explore Hanoi, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great shore excursion.

Best Company for Marvelous Tour - So Dax is the BEST company! Hung was such a kind, thorough and conscientious your guide! Brian came and made sure we were being taken care of and told us about a schedule change for the train at Train Street so we got a front row seat, it was GREAT❣️

A Fun, Private Trip for a Group of 4 - We recently went on a private shore excursion for our group of four from Ha Long Port to Hanoi, and it was an unforgettable experience! The young and enthusiastic organizers curated a fantastic itinerary that allowed us to truly understand the essence of Hanoi. We explored numerous iconic landmarks and enjoyed delicious, authentic local food that gave us a taste of the city’s rich culinary heritage. Every detail of the tour was thoughtfully planned, making it a seamless and enjoyable experience.

Great memories in HaNoi with Sondax Travel - My ship docked for 2 days in Ha Long so we searched for 1 day tours departing here. Then I found the Hanoi tour of Sondax travel. It was great that they took such good care of us. Bryan contacted us in advance, he advised us very carefully and responded to our questions quickly. Our tour guide that day was Nora, an intelligent and knowledgeable girl. She told us Vietnamese historical stories and introduced us to Vietnamese culture. Thank you for giving us wonderful experiences in Hanoi. Highly recommended 👍

Make me feel so good - The service was outstanding, with our guide being incredibly attentive and caring, taking care of us from the moment we left the port, throughout the journey, and until we returned safely. We also got to try some delicious Vietnamese food—highly recommend the "phở tái lăn," which was absolutely delicious!

Well worth seeing Hanoi - We enjoyed our tour with Lin in Hanoi. She was very sweet and conscientious. The library of literature and education was a highlight as was seeing the horror of the Hanoi Hilton. We shared a pho lunch that was very good . The train street was also a highlight. Having tea or coffee and watching a train go by right in front of us was thrilling. Four stars instead of five was because we often had a hard time understanding our guide and felt that she should have given us more information instead of us asking her questions.
