A Wonderful Way to see Hanoi! - We highly recommend! A truly local experience that let us experience riding on a main busy road, through rice fields, small residence villages and alleys. This experience was so well organized and the day went by smoothly. We had one guide leading us on a bicycle and two other support guides on motorbikes. The motorbike guides helped us to cross intersections safely as well as protecting us from other vehicles - a pleasant safety surprise! We were picked up at the Opera House and given rides on the back of motorbikes to the bike shop area - yay, no cars or vans used. The bikes had gears and brakes that worked well. We loved biking over the Long Bien bridge - such a unique experience. We stopped at a local broom making house - loved watching the locals create as well as learning about the different types of materials. Then we rode through rice fields and walked a little out on a rice field path. We stopped to get a coffee or juice and enjoyed wandering among the water lily ponds. We did not have time to go to both the citadel and the bonsai home, so we chose to visit bonsai. The bonsai gentleman was funny and informative. On the way back to city we used a very local ferry to cross the Duong River - really enjoyed that experience. We were taken to a very local bun cha restaurant for lunch - the food was delicious and the company was local. We did not stop at a wet market nor did we taste local fruits. We also did not stop at a place to taste egg coffee. Go with an open mind and be flexible - even though our experience didn't match the description exactly, we had an amazing adventure!

Fantastic experience - Guide Emma spoke very good English. Support staff friendly. Emma is well educated on the history of the local area and local customs. Support staff made riding in the traffic far less daunting. Bikes in good working order, no issues there. Great experience.

Total Local Feel! - Real local feel on this excursion! Started with a delicious lunch (included) at a total local Pho place then got right into it! History kept to a minimum so you can really enjoy the ride! over long bridges, crossing CRAZY traffic, few stops to see a Temple, broom makers, and cruising the quiet country side. Even took a sampan to get across the river! would def say only experienced riders here and did about 18 miles!

Memorable and safe experience! - We had such a great experience during the biketour! We were able to see a lot of things in a short amount of time like ricefields, traditional house and temple. During the whole trip we felt completely safe as we had a guide on bike and extra guides on scooters making way for us in traffic. Everyone was super friendly and considered. Shout out to Brian for creating a memorable experience!!

Fantastic side of Ha Noi! - Brian was a great tour guide from start to finish. He communicates very well and accommodates any plans or hiccups that can occur. I was the only one who booked for the day so I got to know him better and learn about life in Vietnam firsthand from him. I gained great insight, knowledge, deeper underatanding and appreciation for Ha Noi and Vietnam in general. Half of my family was born and raised in Vietnam so it was a great experience. Not to mention the safety I felt riding on the streets and in the city with Brian was reassuring. Brian is definitely a great tour guide and an even better person! I highly recommend this. Even if you are out of shape(I'm not), you can be accommodated. There are plenty of breaks in between places, and if you need a break, you can just let Brian know. Do please show support as this experience is special and one of a kind

Highly Recommend! - The whole experience was amazing. Brain and Kang were great guides. They picked us up on scooters from our hotel and took us to the bikes. They have two scooters that go with you to help you cross the big roads of traffic. Always felt safe. There was good amount of stops along the way to rest your legs, go to the toilet and see the sights. There were 4-5 short hills, I only just fell short on the last hill. But you can just walk your bike up or they will help you do it. You see a lot and get a real feel of Hanoi, it was great! They take you to a local place for lunch and it was soo delicious. They served us Bun Cha. Then they took us back to our hotel in a Jeep. So much more than a bike tour, they really give you a great experience. It’s very well run and planned out. Pick up was at 8am and arrived back at 12:45pm. Highly recommend!

Casting in Hanoi and surroundings - This experience was superb! Cycling through the busy traffic in hanoi, you would think impossible but it is great, picked up from the hotel, on the motorbike to the place where the bikes were, bikes are fine! You go along with the flow and it went fine, nice things seen and stopped regularly. Fine boys, can tell a lot about everything. Definitely recommended if you are in hanoi!

Relaxing ride - Lovely relaxed ride out of the city and into the countryside. We stopped off at some great places to take photos or wander around landmarks. Cycling over the bridge was an experience.
