We did the morning Jeep tour through Hanoi backstreets and Banana Island with Eco Trip Asia. Outstanding service! Our driver was skilled and navigating Hanoi traffic was actually a breeze. The coffee stop at the railway track was unforgettable. Highly recommended!

We thoroughly enjoyed our morning with Liam and our driver, who wove us in and out of traffic like an expert. The inclusion of a stop on Banana Island for tea, bananas and a peanut snack let us see a different side of this busy city. Cold, bottled water was welcome on a warm day and lunch was tasty. Liam was personable and informative. 😊

If you only have a short period of time in Hanoi, this is a great fast and furious tour, shows you the land marks, plus a bit of back street culture and the train. It was great fun and the trip to the B52 museum was pretty impressive. I recommend this short but sweet trip and our guide, Bee, was great, excellent English!

Brilliant half day tour in Hanoi! The guide spoke great English, answered every question about Vietnamese lifestyle and culture, and the vintage open-top vehicle made it super fun and breezy in the summer heat.
