3. What happens if it rains?
Weather is not a concern for our Jeep tour, we got soft-roof. We conduct tours no matter the rain or sunshine. In case it rains, we do provide rain ponchos for you.
4. Do we go INSIDE the tourist attractions?
Our focus is NOT entirely on the tourist attractions. On this tour, we don’t go INSIDE the attractions, but instead, we will take you to the HIDDEN GEMS and HARD-TO-FIND places that show you the REAL Hanoi. We spend our time taking you off the beaten path and to the less frequently visited sites, showcasing the authentic Hanoi that you cannot discover on your own.
During the tour, we PASS BY & DRIVE PAST some of the iconic landmarks where we pause for photos. The tour is catered to offer a unique experience for our guests that showcase Hanoi from a different angle. If any attraction interests you, you can always revisit the place on your own and spend as long as you’d like.
