My boyfriend and I took two separate tours with Footprint Travel. The first was the Good Morning Hanoi tour. The second tour was Footprint Travel’s Tea & Bike Tour and was also with the same guide Trung as we'd had in the prior tour. We also had a driver for this trip who drove the van that picked up from the hotel. This day trip from Hanoi takes you to Thai Nguyen province which is the premiere tea growing region of Vietnam. Our private day tour from Hanoi with Footprint Travel included stops at a local tea growing plantation, a bike ride around the Thai Nguyen province, lunch with a local tea growing family, a demonstration of the tea making process, a visit to a tea museum, and about a dozen cups of the local green tea! We are tea lovers and loved this cultural and educational tour.

We highly recommend both of these tours with Footprint Travel and found them a great tour company. -
