Vietnam Backstreet Tours was founded by three young Hanoians who grew up in the years after the Vietnam War, during the subsidized “coupon era” before the country opened its doors to the world. We carry the memories of life in Russian-style apartments, narrow back alleys barely wide enough for two people, and the bustling “black markets” of our childhood. These humble beginnings shaped our perspective and inspired us to create tours that showcase the real Vietnam—authentic, unpolished, and unforgettable.

Though we come from different business backgrounds, we share the same passion: a love for travel and our homeland. With years of experience as trip leaders and tour leaders across Vietnam and Southeast Asia, we bring strong leadership, ownership, and a deep understanding of what makes journeys truly special.

Our mission is to deliver unique and meaningful experiences throughout Vietnam—from vibrant cities to remote countryside, from cultural encounters to culinary adventures. We believe travel is not just about seeing places, but about connecting with people, stories, and traditions.

With our local expertise, personal touch, and genuine love for sharing Vietnam, we aim to give every traveler the most authentic and memorable experience possible. Whether you’re exploring Hanoi’s backstreets, cruising the Mekong, or trekking through the northern mountains, Vietnam Backstreet Tours is your trusted partner in discovering the heart and soul of Vietnam.
