Amazing tour with friendly people

My mom and I did the night time tour, which is an absolutely amazing experience. You get a helmet and a walkie talkie, so you can communicate during the ride. We started out at a small but popular coffee bar, the kind you don’t easily enter as a foreigner. There we had our first Hanoi egg coffee (very good) and got our vriefing for the rest of the night. It was the start of a wonderful experience. We ate amazing dishes and got tips on how to eat them from our guide. The drivers are incredibly careful and skilled. I had the nicest driver ever, we had very nice and funny discussions while driving through Hanoi traffic. The guide told us interesting information and took us to places we wouldn’t have found otherwise. So a big thank you to Paloma Tours for the amazing experience! If you want to experience Hanoi from a different point of view, book this trip. You won’t be sorry!

Hanoi like a local

I booked the tour last minute for myself and my husband. Paloma Motorbike tours confirmed the booking for the next day within the hour. We were nervous and excited in equal measure about what the next day had in store. Elly our guide met us with such a friendly welcome in our hotel reception and introduced us to our drivers Quynh and Rose – who gave us our all important helmets! Off we went on our mopeds – and I thought it might take us a while to settle in but our drivers, Quynh and Rose are so experienced – we felt really safe right away!…which was a surprise having seen the Hanoi moped madness the night before in town! We visited local food spots for eats and treats we could not have found ourselves, delicious bun bo nam bo noodles; egg coffee; zipping through spaghetti junctions and past beautiful lakes for some fresh spring rolls and delicious salad. We stopped off in the literature museum, a local food market and drove across Long Biên bridge for a tasty lunch across the other side of the red river in a lovely local family restaurant. We picked up lots of information along the way from the lovely Elly and the whole thing just felt like we were hanging out in Hanoi with friends. We were on a high afterwards! And I can honestly say it was the best tour of a city we’ve ever done. Totally recommend it. And I just wish there was a Paloma motorbike tour every place we visited! Such a brilliant way to see a city. Thanks Elly! And thanks Rose and Quynh for keeping us safe
