Awesome experience! You won’t regret booking this
Great contrast of the different areas of Hanoi. Tom was a fantastic guide, knowledgeable, engaging and friendly. We saw lots of sights and hats off to the mad skills of our driver navigating this beautiful, chaotic city!

A Great Experience
We had a jeep tour around Hanoi with Tom. Tom was a funny guy, smart with lots of information and history about Hanoi & Vietnam. He also provided lots of other links about where to eat, visit etc. I highly recommend any tour with Tom, you will have a great time.

Highly recommend! Very authentic / not touristy
My wife and I had a wonderful private tour in Hanoi with Tom/Bach and his Jeep. We don't usually leave reviews but we feel compelled to here. We're also generally skeptical of tours like this as we want to avoid "touristy" things, but this definitely wasn't the case here. A few highlights: - The car was a great way to see the parts of Hanoi not accessible via walking (we stayed in the Old Quarter). In particular, visiting the farm on Banana Island felt like we were in rural Vietnam even though its a short distance from the city. - The Jeep itself with an open top roof is the perfect way to cruise around the city and feel like you're in it versus looking at things through the window of a car. - Tom was a tremendous tour guide - energetic, thoughtful, and entertaining. Stellar experience all around. Highly recommended!

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hanoi Jeep Tour – Explore Authentic Hanoi & Hidden Gems: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does Hanoi Jeep Tour – Explore Authentic Hanoi & Hidden Gems cost?
+
Prices start at $56 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hanoi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Hanoi Jeep Tour – Explore Authentic Hanoi & Hidden Gems take?
+
Plan for about 4.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hanoi is not rushed.
Is Hanoi Jeep Tour – Explore Authentic Hanoi & Hidden Gems worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 39 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hanoi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hanoi Jeep Tour – Explore Authentic Hanoi & Hidden Gems?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Hanoi Jeep Tour – Explore Authentic Hanoi & Hidden Gems suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hanoi Jeep Tour – Explore Authentic Hanoi & Hidden Gems?
+
Around 14 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hanoi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hanoi and add a light layer if any part of the 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hanoi Jeep Tour – Explore Authentic Hanoi & Hidden Gems start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hanoi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hanoi?
+
On Outty we rank every Hanoi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ha Giang Loop 3-Day Small Group - from Hanoi, (Group/Individual) HANOI STREET FOOD TOUR, Incense Village Quang Phu Cau, Hat Village and Hanoi City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hanoi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hanoi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
