Explore Hanoi Train Street Tour Experiência

The bicycle tour provided an incredible on the ground view of Hanoi, mingling with the locals, braving the chaotic traffic, embracing the sights, sounds, and smells, while our guide provided an interesting history lecture. Messi is a young, idealistic and chatty guide, who waxed lyrical about Ho Chi Minh and his country, while keeping us safe.

What an amazing way to start our trip to Vietnam! I honestly wasn't expecting too much fro this day, as it seemed very cheap and I presumed that Train Street would be crazy busy and we'd struggle to find a good spot for photos or somewhere to sit..Luckily our guide Quinn (more of her later!) had secured seating for us right on track side in a lovely little cafe/bar. After little chat and explanation of the area, we sat down to enjoy a few drinks that were included in the tour, soft drink and beers/cider are but not cocktails, which is more than fair as far as I'm concerned. The train slowly rumbled by at arms length and it was truly great to be that close, uncrowded and just left to relax and choose what you do in your own moment. After it had passed, we were at our own pace for photos etc before we headed off on our "Street food" tour, Again Quinn took the lead and with her bright, enthusiastic friendly and funny manner, off all 4 of us trotted after her, following her into what can only be described as "out of the way, hidden local gems", these are places that honestly we would walk past and either not notice, or probably be a bit scared to try, but safe to say everywhere she took us was amazing. Do note that there are 4 ,yes 4 stop on the way, so a word of advice, save some room :-) we especially enjoyed the self made wraps/spring rolls. After 4 stops we were all well and truly stuffed, the walks were short between and very manageable n the heat and humidity, this is a fantastic tour run by and exceptional bright young lady, her ability to read the groups ethos and blend in was genuinely charming and she felt like a friend rather than a guide, she's a credit to her company and to herself.

If you want to feel like you're exploring with a friend, or even your bestie, ask for Charlie! I'm traveling solo, and by the end of the tour it felt like I'd known him for years. He makes you feel completely comfortable, the conversations are fun and engaging, takes great pictures and he's incredibly knowledgeable about the food and the places you visit. I can't recommend him enough. He truly takes the experience to the next level. Thank you, Charlie!

Great tour guide named Thai highly recommend. Good English and well educated

Was first night in Vietnam and was ideal to introduce me to the food and see a small amount of Hanoi streets after arriving here The guide spoke very good English and gave other tips about my upcoming trips and taught me some basic Vietnamese

Our Guide Phuc Hung was the best I was just fascinated by how young and hardworking he is. He took out time to speak and explain about each street and important places. He was very patient, cooperative and explained and was an awesome guide. I highly recommend him. The street food was interesting to tey out. The train street was fun. Thank you

Wonderful experience. Very informative and friendly staff..Had a great afternoon 😁. It was with the Vintage vespa tours.

We had an amazing day with David! We walked around some of the highlights of the old quarter and he brought us to places we would have never gone to ourselves! 10/10 would do again.

Wood was great!!! He showed us all the hidden local gems all the food was great. If it wasn’t for him I would never even tried those places. I was only here for 13 hours and it was worth it. I recommend this food tour. Our group was super nice & friendly.

Once again we had the pleasure of a tour with Messi. This time the evening street food walking tour of Hanoi. This was really cool. Exploring the back streets and hidden kitchens off the main streets. Even found ourselves in a tiny little place that required our entry through a secret street. We enjoyed many small plates of local food. Each were different, but similar like a few wraps, but unique in style and flavour. We learned a lot and in the end ,we were full and very happy. Messi added so much cultural and historical context to the tour. He knew the recipes, the ingredients, the type and kinds of food and flavours and the regions it was all grown in. It was an awesome night out and a great learning experience. Thank you for a wonderful opportunity.
