This tour combined history, culture, and adventure in the best way. The vintage jeep had a charm of its own, and driving past French colonial buildings made us feel like stepping back in time. It was a highlight of our visit to Vietnam.

This jeep tour was a refreshing change from traditional sightseeing. Seeing hidden corners of Hanoi while enjoying the breeze along West Lake was delightful. It felt authentic and personal, and we would recommend it to anyone looking for something different.

We loved the open-air ride that let us see Hanoi up close without the stress of navigating traffic ourselves. The stops were well chosen, and the pace was relaxed. It was fun, memorable, and gave us plenty of great photo opportunities.

Riding through Hanoi in a vintage jeep was one of the most unique experiences of our trip. Passing the Opera House, crossing Long Bien Bridge, and circling West Lake gave us a different view of the city.
