Did a guided jeep tour round Hanoi with Sebastian. It was really informative and he put some good stops in to try some local food and drinks, and look at local landmarks. Would recommend booking through him.
We booked this for our first day in Vietnam and very pleased we did! Sebastian was a brilliant tour guide as his English was great. Communication before the trip was also clear and informative.
Trang was absolutely amazing! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had such an incredible time on our Jeep Tour around Hanoi, and Trang honestly made the whole experience so special. She was so friendly, knowledgeable, funny and welcoming, and she went above and beyond to make sure we had the best time. She showed us so many amazing parts of Hanoi and gave us a real insight into the city, the culture and everyday life. We learned so much, but the tour was also so much fun! Trang had such a lovely energy and made us feel comfortable from the very beginning. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide. If you’re thinking about booking this tour, definitely ask for Trang — she was fantastic and genuinely made our trip! ❤️🇻🇳 Thank you so much, Trang! We’ll definitely remember this experience!

Trang was absolutely amazing! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We all live in Hanoi, so we thought we already knew the city pretty well — but Trang showed us a completely different side of it. She’s full of character, incredibly insightful, and so adaptable. Even after living in Hanoi for three years, she took us to places and shared stories we had never experienced before. She made the whole Hanoi Jeep Tour so much fun and genuinely memorable. You can tell she really loves what she does and knows how to make everyone feel comfortable and engaged. 100% recommend Trang and the tour. If you’re in Hanoi, don’t miss this experience! 🙌
