Warm, accommodating, and informative guide — book with An!
We loved our tour from Hanoi to Sapa with An! He was patient and communicative over WhatsApp when our flight got delayed and made us feel welcomed before we even entered Vietnam. He waited for us at the airport and was eager to share his music and teach us about Vietnam’s diverse culture. We especially enjoyed the stop for pork, rice, and fresh river fish on the way! We would recommend anyone traveling Hanoi to Sapa to do so with An!

An excellent tour!
A very good tour with Anthony who is an excellent driver and guide. Very knowledgeable, courteous and professional. So many beautiful sights to see, and a very comfortable drive. 100% recommended!

personalised service using private car
Anthony is very knowledgeable and super proud of the whole area of Northern Vietnam where he is from. Anthony offers a personalised service using private car and can visit everywhere between Sapa to Bang Gioc. Anthony took us to places we could only dream of and which will make many memories both physically and photographic. Sapa will remain very special us and the trip up to Fansipan was amazing. Anthony drove us along the famous Ha Giang Loop and we encountered incredible scenery, whilst driving extremely winding roads. During the whole trip we interacted with many different ethnic local people including the H'mong people and Tay people and we were able to try local food and purchase local products.

Northern Vietnam travel by car with the best guide!
My husband Kevin and I are being hosted by Anthony from Vietnam Northern Travel as we currently travel the Ha Giang Loop by car.We are having a fabulous and immersive tour of the loop on most challenging roads but that is part of the fun. Anthony has gone above and beyond with his many hidden talents in showing us the area and I would certainly recommend him if you wish to travel to this remote area in the north of Vietnam.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Car and Tour Guide Exploring Northern Vietnam: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does Private Car and Tour Guide Exploring Northern Vietnam cost?
+
Prices start at $30 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 Private Car and Tour Guide Exploring Northern Vietnam take?
+
Plan for about 96 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 Private Car and Tour Guide Exploring Northern Vietnam worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 41 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 Private Car and Tour Guide Exploring Northern Vietnam?
+
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 Private Car and Tour Guide Exploring Northern Vietnam suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 96-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Car and Tour Guide Exploring Northern Vietnam?
+
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 96-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Car and Tour Guide Exploring Northern Vietnam 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 Private Car and Tour Guide Exploring Northern Vietnam?
+
Included: Helping Book Meals and Accommodation by Tour Guide; In-vehicle air conditioning; Discounted for the first day of the tour; English Speaking Tour Guide; and Private SUV Car. Not included: Alcoholic beverages; All Fees and Taxes; Meals not provided; and No Accommodations. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Private Car and Tour Guide Exploring Northern Vietnam include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 1117 listed pickup locations in and around Hanoi. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Private Car and Tour Guide Exploring Northern Vietnam offered in?
+
It is offered in German, Russian, Portuguese, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, English, Italian, French, Dutch and Spanish. 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 Private Car and Tour Guide Exploring Northern Vietnam?
+
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.
What happens to Private Car and Tour Guide Exploring Northern Vietnam if the weather is bad?
+
