Memorable, comfortable and safe
We had a wonderful trip to the beautiful cities of Hanoi, Sapa and our wonderful cruise in Halong Bay. It was a well planned tour by Miss Anne. She was very accomodative and had a close contact and a well planned tour. She catered well to all our request from transport to food. It would be the memorable and exciting tour. Punctuality and the choice of hotel gives extra credit to this tour company. I would recommend this tour company as it was the reliable one and most of the price was affordable for the service given. Driver too was always on time. Thank you so much for the beautiful memories had.

Vietnam Experience
Our Vietnam trip was truly unforgettable, and we owe so much of that wonderful experience to Jacky Travel and their amazing team, especially Kylie, our Hanoi Jeep Tour guide, and Chin, who accompanied us for 4 days during our Hanoi private tour and Sapa trip. This trip was especially meaningful for us because it was also our way of celebrating my husband’s birthday. From the very beginning, everything was smooth, convenient, and very well-arranged, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy every moment of our vacation. We had an amazing time during the jeep tour and all the activities. We especially enjoyed the rainbow slide, took countless photos, and created memories that we will cherish forever. Sapa was absolutely beautiful, and we were fortunate to experience great weather throughout the trip. The cold weather in Sapa made the experience even more special and enjoyable. The hotel arrangements, restaurants, and overall itinerary exceeded our expectations. The restaurants Chin brought us to were all excellent, and we appreciated how he made sure we could enjoy each place at our own pace without feeling rushed. The entire trip felt relaxed, comfortable, and thoughtfully planned. A special mention goes to Chin, who was an excellent tour guide — friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. He made our tours even more enjoyable with his kindness and attentiveness. Kylie was equally wonderful, bringing warmth, energy, and passion that made the Hanoi Jeep Tour even more memorable. We were also deeply touched by the surprise birthday cake that Jacky Travel prepared for my husband during our stay in Sapa. It was such a thoughtful gesture and made the celebration even more meaningful and special for us. Another thing we truly appreciated was when the Jacky Travel team personally visited our hotel on our last day to ask about our experience. That personal effort and genuine care made us feel very valued as guests and showed how much they truly care about their clients. We are extremely satisfied with the service provided by Jacky Travel. Everything was handled professionally and with genuine care. We have already shared many wonderful stories about our trip with our friends and colleagues, and some are already planning their own Vietnam vacation because of our experience. We will definitely continue recommending Jacky Travel, Kylie, and Chin to our friends and relatives in the Philippines. Thank you again for making our Vietnam vacation so memorable. We truly hope to visit Vietnam again soon and will surely book with your company again.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful and heartfelt feedback! We're thrilled that the Hanoi Jeep Tour and your journey through Vietnam created such special memories for you. Your kind words mean so much to our team, and we hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Vietnam again soon! ❤️

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hanoi street food tour (Private tour): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does Hanoi street food tour (Private tour) cost?
+
Prices start at $10 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 street food tour (Private tour) take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 street food tour (Private tour) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 51 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 street food tour (Private tour)?
+
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 street food tour (Private tour) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hanoi street food tour (Private tour)?
+
Around 18 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hanoi street food tour (Private tour) 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.
What is included in Hanoi street food tour (Private tour)?
+
Included: Drinking water; Private guide with license; and Food & Drink as mentioned in each option. Not included: Gratuities; Personal expense; and Other drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Hanoi street food tour (Private tour) include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 372 listed pickup locations in and around Hanoi. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Hanoi street food tour (Private tour) offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Hanoi street food tour (Private tour)?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

+
