Thanh`s walking tour was very well structured from start to finish. He made sure to create a pleasant group atmosphere while accommodating individual questions at each stop. He was very knowledgeable and professional throughout. Also provided great recommendations and even helped me to get a tour to the Cu Chi tunnels organized. Thank you so much, Thanh!
I picked this tour to get a different perspective of the city and because I had taken several biking tours in South East Asia, which I had fully enjoyed each time. Unfortunately, this one did not fully meet my expectations. The guide arrived late, failed to introduce himself at the beginning and almost did not provide any instructions to ensure the participants' safety while manoeuvring through the heavy Hanoi traffic by bike. He also did not wait for participants. Some of the stops indicated in the itinerary where either just passed by (Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum) or not visited at all (Train Street). Instead, more than half of the time was spent on Banana Island, where the guide presented random, partly doubtful anecdotes about the people living there and conducted an intermediate, seemingly forced questionnaire/excursion into the vegetation to be found there. This tour has a lot of potential and I would do it again, if the points mentioned above could be improved.
Travis was a very nice, eloquent guide who took his time to answer all of my questions with patience supported by a lot of knowledge.
Hüseyin is a very nice, social and knowledgeable guide, who will allow you to get a first perspective of the different facets the Asian side of Istanbul has to offer.
