We thoroughly enjoyed our city tour with Hanoi Backstreet Tours. Our guide Johnny was amazing, so passionate to share his love for Hanoi and Vietnam, and was so knowledgable about the history of his country and city. We learnt so much and was the best introduction to understand more about this beautiful country and people, and it’s incredibly rich history. It was a great experience and we would highly recommend this tour, and our guide Johnny and the team.

Hanoi Hidden Gens & Highlights half day tour by the Backstreet Tour company was a great tour. We had booked a private tour by Limo and we had a wonderful experience. The tour covered some true hidden gems such as the old bridge, a hidden gem cafe and highlights like the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum and the Temple of Literature. We also drove around the Westlake area and the French Quarter. However, what made the tour so interesting was our outstanding guide Johnny who was a font of knowledge and gave us depth of information about the history & culture of Vietnam, the Temple of Literature and the life of Ho Chi Minh. This gave us a very new perspective of the country and the people.
Johnny’s passion and his ability to plan and organize, made this tour memorable.
