“Absolutely brilliant way to experience Hanoi. We had the opportunity to eat at some wonderful places for locals. The food was excellent and our guides were even better. Thank you Happy and Lucy, you made our evening very special! If you are not brave enough to mix it with the locals on motorbikes, this is the best way to do it. Very safe and a great way to see the sights of Hanoi. Highly recommended!!”

“Snow is an extraordinary guide. As she led us through markets, plantations, restaurants, and neighborhoods, she’s connected to local people, who smile seeing her coming. Her tour gives you access to off-the-beaten path locales, where real people live, with background information about how they live day-to-day life. Definitely book with confidence.”

3-day luxury Ha Giang loop with easy riders: Ma Pi Leng, Nho Que river boat, Du Gia waterfall swim, private rooms, VIP buses.
“I really liked the view, accommodation, and I feel like I was really lucky with Chu (my easy driver) and the group in general. I would recommend to everyone! I do feel like 3 days is enough tho! but if you feel like it would be too short for you def go for 4! Communication in english was hard sometimes, but everyone was trying so it was also not a big issue. Only thing is that the food was always the same for breakfast, lunch and dinner so it would be nice to have more variety. Thanks Lee and Chu for the experience (and everyone in my group!) views were…”

““Five stars for the ride, the guides, and the overall experience. The team was absolutely brilliant! However, the food and the restaurant were disappointing. The title of the event implied a food-tasting experience, but it ended with a cold, sad meal at a below-average restaurant. Would recommend for the adventure, but don’t expect much from the food.””
