Small Group Journey
"This is my second time with Any Trails in Hanoi. The first was before COVID, and I had such a blast that I decided to try a different tour on my recent visit. Went on the Red River Bike Tour and it was awesome! Our guide, Minh, is the nicest guy ever and SO knowledgeable. He made the entire experience so much fun, his bikes are really nice, and the entire day was super smooth. I highly recommend!"
Owner Minh Ha created a 3-week itinerary for me to experience Vietnam; it was superb. The trip went from north (Hanoi) to south (Ho Chi Minh City). Transportation included mini-vans, private cars, boats, four domestic airplane flights, train, bicycles, etc. Some days were private guided tours, while other days were combined group tours with other people. All of the logistics worked out fine. Minh was actually my guide on the first full day, bicycling around Hanoi and a farming island in the Red River. Minh speaks excellent English language. I highly recommend Minh Ha and his company AnyTrails.
Thanks to AnyTrails, we had a really unique & tailor-made return visit to Hanoi in November 2022. We were keen on the local Market Garden tour, not cyclists at all but saw mention of Walking Tours, contacted Minh & was not disappointed. Our day began with a walking lunch tour. Delicious Pho plus Hanoi Spring Rolls. Down lanes we went, Fish Balls on the way, to the BEST Bakery in Hanoi for the best Banh Mi EVER! The afternoon was spent at the local Market Garden, enjoying a very special smoothie, pleasant conversation & scenery. We discussed a Ninh Binh outing & also a day exploring more on the back of Motorbikes while in Hanoi. A jam-packed moto adventure included the amazing Pottery Museum, crossing the Red River on a local ferry & a delicious Vegetarian lunch. Plus Flower & Vegetable Market Gardens is close to the City. Loved being in the middle of traffic on the motorbike & felt very safe with our drivers! Ninh Binh included a comfortable drive, stunning scenery, local towns, history & culture plus dining at a local restaurant specializing in Goat dishes. Minh pointed out the Cycling tour locations & if we wanted to cycle, had confidence he would cater to our fitness & cycle abilities. So maybe next time. Minh listened & made suggestions for us as individuals, mature ages but young at-heart travelers & his itinerary suited as down to the ground. Highly recommend. Contact Minh, you will not regret the decision.
"Went for a wonderful morning bicycle tour with Minh through the town of Duong Lam. Not only was the ride fun and beautiful, but Minh was terrific. He was not only great with bicycles but very knowledgeable about the area and, helpful to American travelers, his English was fantastic. I would definitely consider taking a longer trip with him and recommend him highly for this or any other tour."
