Friends + Secret Coffee Spots = Hanoi Done Right - We booked this tour not knowing what to expect and ended up having an absolute blast! The alleys, the stories, and OMG ,the coffee! You’d never find these places alone. Rick was super cool and knew all the hidden photo spots too.

Hanoi with the Barkada? Sulit na Kape, Sulit na Kwento! - Hindi kami ready sa sobrang saya ng tour. Si Rick ang guide namin sobrang kwela, parang tropa mo lang pero ang daming alam. Dinala niya kami sa mga lugar na parang hindi mo akalaing may ganon sa gitna ng Hanoi. Tapos 'yung kape? Legit. Parang galing sa National Geographic pero lasang pangarap. Kung may trip kayo with friends, ito 'yung dapat kasama sa plano. No regrets.

Hanoi Behind the Noise. Real and Unfiltered - I usually skip tours. Too scripted. But Ken, our guide, was different. Real. No fluff. He spoke like a local who loves the city for what it is imperfect, alive, unforgettable. He led us into back alleys buzzing with life and then into a silent corner where I had the best pour-over of my life. No crowd. No rush. Just Hanoi being Hanoi. Perfect for solo travelers who want more soul and less schedule.

Meet the Quiet Miracle in Hanoi - Our guide, May, had a calm voice that perfectly matched the old streets. Walk through French colonial buildings, listen to legends by the lake, and quietly savour fragrant coffee in small cafes in alleyways. It was like being in a story. If you want to relax and enjoy the culture as a couple, this is the perfect experience.

A Walk Through Hanoi - Traveling with our two kids isn’t always easy, but Jen made this tour smooth from start to finish. She was kind, patient, and knew how to keep the little ones curious. If you want a no-stress family activity that shows you the real Hanoi, this is it.

Flavorful, Fun - My partner Jordi and I absolutely loved this coffee tasting experience! It wasn’t just a simple tasting, we actually got to enjoy more than 5 full cups of different types of coffee :) The whole 2+ hours included everything we could ask for: rich experiences, fun moments, and great value for money all wrapped up in one. Highly recommend!

The Hidden Side of Hanoi in a Cup - After a few hot days, the coffee tour and its amazing flavors made us feel better than ever. JJ, who lives here, shared some great stories about Hanoi and even taught us how to make egg coffee, a recipe passed down from her chefs grandparents. Everything was so relaxed, and we learned so much about the local coffee culture. It was such a cool and unique experience! ☺️
