SCAM? Maybe
This company has closed down, but somebody was HAPPY TO TAKE MY MONEY anyway. I made the booking through Tripadvisor. I thought I could trust TripAdvisor tomorrow are the quality of the companies they advertise. Nobody answers the phone number provided .

Not existing
This company doesn’t exist. It would be beter if Viator takes them of the platform. Happily ever after there is enough to do in Hanoi.

Didn't Happen
This company doesn't seem to exist anymore. We bought tickets before leaving home and went looking for the bus the day of our tour - couldn't find it and after making phone calls to the number which were not answered we made further enquiries and were told the company no longer operates. Tour didn't happen

Bad experience
We Booked this trip and waited and one of the stops. THE BUS NEVER CAME! Then we tried to reach to contact person and the tour guide, but nobody answered when we called them and we got no answers at our text messages neither. Very unprofessional and I really really don’t recommend! Avoid booking this!

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Retro Hop-on-hop-off Bonbon City Tour: Classic Package: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does Retro Hop-on-hop-off Bonbon City Tour: Classic Package cost?
+
Prices start at $11 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 Retro Hop-on-hop-off Bonbon City Tour: Classic Package take?
+
Plan for about 24 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 Retro Hop-on-hop-off Bonbon City Tour: Classic Package worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 32 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 Retro Hop-on-hop-off Bonbon City Tour: Classic Package?
+
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 Retro Hop-on-hop-off Bonbon City Tour: Classic Package suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 24-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Retro Hop-on-hop-off Bonbon City Tour: Classic Package?
+
Around 11 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 24-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Retro Hop-on-hop-off Bonbon City Tour: Classic Package 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 Retro Hop-on-hop-off Bonbon City Tour: Classic Package?
+
Included: All taxes, fees and handling charges; On-board WiFi; Vouchers from F&B partners; Exclusive tourist information brochure and travel guide mobile application; and BonBon City Tour 24-hour travel pass. Not included: Food and drink; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
What languages is Retro Hop-on-hop-off Bonbon City Tour: Classic Package offered in?
+
It is offered in German, Vietnamese, English, Chinese, French 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 Retro Hop-on-hop-off Bonbon City Tour: Classic Package?
+

Is Retro Hop-on-hop-off Bonbon City Tour: Classic Package wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
