Great fun, especially if you have a spare day in Hanoi. The organiser is easy to contact, Yu Pi is very helpful. My pilot on the day was Thang, who was very easygoing and the flight was very fun

Booked this for our first real day exploring Hanoi. My husband and I had a great time seeing a part of Hanoi by bike and with a local. Lyon helped us navigate riding through the streets and round the lake with other cyclists, Vespa riders and cars. Pretty views, hidden alleyways and lots of stops for photos and local snacks like ice cream, shrimp cakes, spring rolls and Hanoi beer, and even made Vietnamese egg coffee - all of it delish! Lyon was knowledgeable, fun and kind. Definitely recommend!

We definitely got to see the off-track side of Hanoi while cycling through the alleys and streets.
 Our guide Aiden is genuine and enthusiastic. We really enjoyed the exchanges during the snack break.

The route does involve weaving thru the hectic traffic of the city, but once you brave through the first stage, you realise that this is how millions of people move around the city daily and that you've become part of it!

The experience was lovely, the scenery and weather were great during my visit. The pricing for the experience was also competitive as compared to other sites.

One thing to take note of is that some pilots are taking on bookings by themselves, so if you have a few people within the same booking timing. Some of you may travel up to the take-off area to wait as the pilot brings people one at a time on their flights. The take-off area is somewhat like an abandoned house. In my case, I had to wait for more than an hour at the take-off area initially with my wife and subsequently alone. I honestly enjoyed the time alone in the "wild" but I reckon that it might not be for all so do take note. 

Overall I love the experience, it was also my wife's first experience doing paragliding and she enjoyed it really much too.

Great day! Pilot was very pleasant. We will never forget this day. About 20-25min duration.

We didn‘t know we have to pay the driver up the hill extra. It was no problem but maybe tell before the next time.
