Hanoi Backstreet Tours
Tho Nguyen grew up in the countryside of Northern Vietnam, where life was tough but filled with resilience and resourcefulness. Moving to Hanoi for university, he studied tourism and hospitality, quickly falling in love with the city that became his second home. His deep connection to the rugged Minsk motorcycle, a staple of his childhood, inspired him to create Hanoi Backstreet Tours in 2015. With over 15 years in the travel industry, Tho wanted to offer visitors a more personal and immersive way to experience Hanoi. His tours, using vintage motorbikes and jeeps, give travellers a chance to see the city’s hidden corners, enjoy authentic local food, and connect with everyday life in Vietnam in a real and meaningful way.
