A fantastic tour with a super team in Hanoi! - We thoroughly enjoyed our city tour with Hanoi Backstreet Tours. Our guide Johnny was amazing, so passionate to share his love for Hanoi and Vietnam, and was so knowledgable about the history of his country and city. We learnt so much and was the best introduction to understand more about this beautiful country and people, and it’s incredibly rich history. It was a great experience and we would highly recommend this tour, and our guide Johnny and the team.

A wonderful tour by an outstanding guide. - Hanoi Hidden Gens & Highlights half day tour by the Backstreet Tour company was a great tour. We had booked a private tour by Limo and we had a wonderful experience. The tour covered some true hidden gems such as the old bridge, a hidden gem cafe and highlights like the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum and the Temple of Literature. We also drove around the Westlake area and the French Quarter. However, what made the tour so interesting was our outstanding guide Johnny who was a font of knowledge and gave us depth of information about the history & culture of Vietnam, the Temple of Literature and the life of Ho Chi Minh. This gave us a very new perspective of the country and the people. Johnny’s passion and his ability to plan and organize, made this tour memorable.

Excellent tour of Hanoi - We discovered the real Hanoi! Thanks to our expert guide Ryley and superb driver Cung. They took us around the city to the main attractions as well as to the non touristy spots. We drove through busy streets, narrow market lanes, past all the official buildings, visited the army museum, went on the Red Bridge and had a thrilling time at the Train Street! Meeting Ryley was like meeting an old friend. She was very sweet, kind and took care of us like her own family. I highly recommend the Backstreet Tour with Army Jeep! 5 Stars!
