TOP ECO TOUR COMPANY IN VIETNAM

Had a awesome time in lan ha bay cruise on the cozy boutique boat. The staff were super helpful the food was awesome and it went really smoothly from the pick you to the drop off everything was planned nicely.

David aka Nam is a very helpful and nice guide, always looking for best solutions. Fluent in English, he has a great knowledge and understanding of his country. Responsive and transparent, he made our trip to Cat Ba Bay a successful story, all in line with our expectations and agreements

I contacted Hanoi Eco Tour due to my interest in visiting a rice farm while in Northern Vietnam. Ultimately, David led us on private tours of the Old Quarter in Hanoi, Toan’s Rice Farm outside of Hanoi, and Ninh Binh. He also arranged a private tour of the Ben Tre area of Saigon for after we left Northern Vietnam. He customized everything to cater to our interests and jet-lagged states. David was responsive in communications with us through WhatsApp prior to, during and after our visit to Hanoi. The result was a well-orchestrated yet flexible three full days in Northern Vietnam with no surprises, reduced stress and wonderful memories.
The Rice Farm Tour was a highlight of our vacation. Wearing provided protective gear, we braved the hot and rainy weather to help transplant rice plants into the wet rice fields. Afterwards, we returned to Toan’s farm home, showered and were privileged to have one of our favorite meals in Vietnam. We experienced how rice farmers relax after working hard in the fields with a high-tech massage chair which rubbed and soothed from head to toe. The visit ended with a motorbike tour of the countryside to see all the local animals and trees and how life is in the countryside.
David was very helpful in 1) answering questions that I was stumped by prior to arriving in Vietnam, 2) solving problems that arose during our visit, and 3) providing good luck with the weather. He helped us get the most appropriate phone plan for our needs. Also, he worked hard at trying to fit in a trip to Sapa during our stay, which we didn’t have enough time for. He pointed out options that I hadn’t thought of or was aware of.
Vietnam was a tricky trip to plan due to 1) my being a non-native as well as 2) there being limited fresh info due to the country only recently opening back up post-Covid. For both those reasons and more, I recommend David as your guide while visiting Northern Vietnam and beyond. He will take care of you.
Special thanks to David for his hard work, personable demeanor and optimistic spirit, and to Toan and her family for their hospitality in their home!

We had a lovely morning with a Vietnamese family in their home. They gave us a warm welcome into their home with tea and cookies. We helped prepare spring rolls and then all sat down for lunch with some local delicacies. Also had chicken, beef and noodles. We then walked to the local temple and drank tea with the local care takers of the temple. Lovely family and they made us feel welcome.
