About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Ramon R0 contributionsEnjoyable tour around historic HanoiWe had a great time on this tour with Hun. The places we stopped at were very beautiful. Hun was very knowledgeable and friendly, we enjoyed having him as our tour guide. We also liked the Pho restaurant that Hung took us to. It was difficult to find a restaurant that was open because it was Lunar New Year when we visited. Hanoi has beautiful architecture and history. I highly recommend having Hun as a tour guide.Written 29 January 2025
- 159daffya0 contributionsPerfect Hanoi Shore Excursion – Highly Recommend!I booked this tour through Viator at the last minute, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The service was professional from start to finish, and everything was perfectly timed—we were back at the port a full hour before the ship departed, which gave us peace of mind. Our guide, Bryan, was absolutely fantastic. His knowledge, friendly attitude, and engaging storytelling made the trip unforgettable. The itinerary was well-organized, and we visited some of Hanoi’s most iconic spots, including the Ho Chi Minh Museum and Ho Guom Lake. Both destinations were incredible, and Bryan shared fascinating details about the history and culture of each place. I experienced this tour with a friend, and we were both thoroughly impressed. It was a seamless, stress-free way to explore Hanoi, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great shore excursion.Written 21 November 2024
- angiebV6205SJ0 contributionsA Fun, Private Trip for a Group of 4We recently went on a private shore excursion for our group of four from Ha Long Port to Hanoi, and it was an unforgettable experience! The young and enthusiastic organizers curated a fantastic itinerary that allowed us to truly understand the essence of Hanoi. We explored numerous iconic landmarks and enjoyed delicious, authentic local food that gave us a taste of the city’s rich culinary heritage. Every detail of the tour was thoughtfully planned, making it a seamless and enjoyable experience.Written 15 November 2024

Then I found the Hanoi tour of Sondax travel. It was great that they took such good care of us. Bryan contacted us in advance, he advised us very carefully and responded to our questions quickly. Our tour guide that day was Nora, an intelligent and knowledgeable girl. She told us Vietnamese historical stories and introduced us to Vietnamese culture. Thank you for giving us wonderful experiences in Hanoi. Highly recommended 👍Written 14 November 2024

- Clarelevitt7370 contributionsReliable and Comfortable: Sondaxtravel Private Transfers in Vietnam, should book themI had a fantastic experience with Sondaxtravel during my recent travels in Hanoi to Ha long bay (QuangNinh). Booking was easy, and their website provided clear options. The vehicles were clean and comfortable, and the drivers were punctual and knowledgeable. While there was a minor delay in confirming one pickup and a small issue with vehicle size once, overall, their service was excellent. I highly recommend Sondaxtravel for reliable and convenient private transfers in Vietnam.Written 7 July 2024

Northern Vietnam is famous for landmarks like Hanoi, Sapa, Ha Long... but we decided to choose a different city, Hai Phong, and traveled there by train. The first surprise was the experience of taking the train in Vietnam, something that very few other tours offer. Upon arriving in the city, I was amazed by the peaceful atmosphere, the blend of modern and ancient charm, and the city's diverse cuisine. A special thanks to our guide, Mr. Bryan, who took great care of us with dedication, thoughtfulness, and an extremely friendly attitude. He told us many historical stories about the city and always tried to answer all our questions. Although we arrived back at Hanoi station at nearly 10 PM, we had some rest on the train, so we didn’t feel tired, plus the cool weather that day made for an unforgettable experience in this beautiful land. I highly recommend this tour, and you should book the Hai Phong tour for a unique and truly different experience.

I recently took the 1-day Hai Phong historical food tour from Hanoi, and it was a wonderful experience. Hai Phong is such a peaceful city, offering a refreshing break from the hustle and bustle of Hanoi. The food was diverse and absolutely delicious, giving us a true taste of the local flavors. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and thoughtful, providing fascinating insights into the city’s history and culture while ensuring we were comfortable and well taken care of throughout the day. If you’re looking to explore an authentic, quieter side of Vietnam, I highly recommend this tour. It’s a perfect blend of culture, cuisine, and relaxation.

I recently joined the 1-day Hai Phong historical food tour from Hanoi with a group of friends, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Hai Phong is a peaceful city, offering a quiet escape from the busier streets of Hanoi. The laid-back atmosphere allowed us to really take in the surroundings without feeling rushed, making it the perfect spot for a relaxed day out.
One of the highlights of the tour was the food—absolutely delicious and incredibly diverse! We tried a range of local dishes, each one bursting with flavor and showcasing the best of Vietnamese cuisine. From savory street food snacks to more elaborate meals, everything was fresh and full of character. It was a real treat for the senses.
The people of Hai Phong were another pleasant surprise. Everywhere we went, we were met with friendly smiles and happy faces. The locals were welcoming and eager to share their city’s charm with us, adding to the overall warmth of the experience.
Exploring this hidden gem with friends made it even more special. Traveling by train added to the adventure and gave us a chance to see the countryside along the way. I highly recommend this tour if you're looking for a mix of history, great food, and a peaceful escape from the usual tourist crowds!

I recently joined the 1-day Hai Phong historical food tour from Hanoi, and it was a culinary delight! We enjoyed 5-6 incredibly delicious dishes, each offering a true taste of the region. The tour also took us to 3 local markets, where we got to experience the vibrant food scene and meet the friendly locals. We even sampled 2 types of drinks that are typical of the area—both were refreshing and perfect for the cool, relaxed vibe of Hai Phong.
The city itself is peaceful and offers a quiet escape from the hustle and bustle, with fewer tourists around. Traveling by train added an extra layer of authenticity to the experience. If you’re looking to chill out and savor an authentic slice of Vietnam, this tour is a must. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable day trip!

My first impression that the tour brought to me was train experiences, Which I have never experienced before. Hai Phong is the third biggest city in Vietnam. A town has a harmonious combination of classic and dynamic features. It was such a great ambiance when I had a perfect day to get rid of the chaos and heat of Ha Noi. Furthermore, I immersed myself in a diverse array of local foods boasting unique tastes such as Banh Da Cua, Breadstick,... By and large, I highly recommend this tour and I would like to thank Sondax Travel brought to me a wonderful tour.

Hai Phong food is delicious, interesting trip, enthusiastic tour guide. We were taken to eat squid rolls, crab noodle soup, coconut coffee, seafood in the market was very delicious. The crab noodle soup broth was a bit cold, probably not the best restaurant in Hai Phong.
Thank you very much !
