A fascinating city full of history and also lots of modern development. A highlight for me were the water puppets but also the food and the friendliness of the people. Just beware of the 10 million motor cycles! Take your time and spend several days there. There so much to see from recent history to a wonderful past. The French architecture has to be seen and appreciated.
We are a very chaotic group of travellers with 4 little children running all sides. Davika and Jenny took such a great care of us today! They met us at our hotel, booked an amazing spot for us on the train street right on time to have egg coffee and see the passing train, walked us through highlights of Hanoi, all while smiling, giving us lots of history and information, and some great tips for visiting Vietnam. I couldn’t believe they straight out refused any tip and were really doing their absolute their best just to show us everything around. Such lovely and friendly young ladies. This tour is definitely a highlight of our trip and we highly recommend for everyone to do this. Lot’s of love, Tati and family

I thank again to mina for organizing our trip without her help it would have been not possible n thanks to piu piu travels for their services.. I will surely recommend you guys to my friends and family..
Had a really good experience with this agency in Vietnam. They were quick to reply, easy to communicate with, and very helpful throughout. One of the highlights was the street food walk — we got to try amazing local dishes at spots we would never have found on our own. The guide explained the food well and made the whole experience fun and relaxed. Everything was arranged smoothly and as promised, which made the trip stress-free. Super friendly and reliable service — would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Hanoi, especially food lovers!
I did the tour with Minh. He was very friendly and explained many things about the places we saw but also about Vietnamese culture in general. He also game us many recommandations for food places to try in the next days. He took the time to take us to some places that were not planned initially but that we were interested to see.
I joined this walking tour from the hostel. It was fun to talk to the guide like a friend with a small group!
It’s a good experience with the tour guide Becky and Alex . They very nice and good. They bring us to eat some food in Hanoi .
Great afternoon with Vinh , I got the story of Hanoi! And as a bonus a little scooter ride! Thanks to him and little charm hotel
I booked for a 4D, 3N tour in Hanoi, Ninh Binh and Halong Bay. Piu Piu travel created a very memorable experience for my 1st time visit in Vietnam. I'll never forget the kind and sweet hospitality shown by Tina and team, even before I step foot in Vietnam. The scenery is majestic, the food is fantastic, the culture is awesome, and amazingly the weather is perfect. Definitely deserve my perfect 5 star rating, and I hope to visit Vietnam another time again in the future.
I went on a walking tour with Hương and her friend and it was a lovely experience! They both shared a lot of their knowledge with me as we walked around. We also went to eat Pho together, tried some mooncake and finished the tour by seeing the train pass through the trainstreet. I definetly recommend this authentic tour! :))
