Cycle in Hanoi! - Great trip around some of the back streets and then across the bridge mixing with the amazing traffic in Hanoi (which just works!) with Pink giving us loads of info as we go. Onto Banana Island amongst the farms (and we meet a farmer) with Hanoi in the background sometimes and then back along the Red River bank. Pink really helped make the trip!

A great fun way to see Hanoi by bike - We had a wonderful morning with Kien and the tour team, riding through the busy market streets of Hanoi and then into the more tranquil banana fields where we stopped in a farmer’s home for a drink. We finished back in Hanoi at a charming coffee shop. Kien was fun, knowledgeable and looked after us very well, we can highly recommend to an adventurous family! The video highlights that were made for us are brilliant.

Good experience - Nice tour if you want to avoid the hustle and bustle of the city. The bananas on the plantation were very delicious, at the end there was freshly brewed coffee

Nice way to spend the day - What a fun trip! We were with a small group (4 people) and cycled through the streets of Hanoi under good supervision, via the bicycle bridge to the countryside is highly recommended. So peacefully beautiful and green. We visited a farmer, ate bananas and drank tea. We visited the pagoda, with an explanation about the beliefs and influences from China. We visited a remnant of a B52 from the Vietnam War. We ate sticky rice and drank a nice beer! We found the price-quality ratio a bit out of balance. Costs were 50 euros per person including lunch. You will be on the road for about 5 hours. You cycle on MTB bicycles.
