Great trip with Daisy and David ! - Fantastic experience with Daisy and David. They were very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about their city. The tour took in most of the major sites and we had really good fun with them. You do have to cover any entrance fees and drinks etc, but it was such a lovely thing to do we would recommend.

Knowledgeable, fun and energetic! - Our guide is wonderful, energetic and knowledgeable! We had a great time with her and her young associate. She persevered in spite of the persistent rain! I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to explore Hanoi.

Exploring Hanoi with Jenny - What better way to start my visit to Hanoi than with a private walking tour with a local guide. Jenny did an awesome job taking me around the Old Quarter to see the sights: St. Joseph's Church, Hoan Kiem Lake and Temple, Hoa Lo Prison, and the famous train street. She was very knowledgeable about the area and quizzed me on historical facts and information about Hanoi. Besides those facts, she gave me the perspective of a young Vietnamese student so I got to learn about the daily life of a local too. In between sites, Jenny pointed out food, shops, cafes, and gave me a list of things to try while in town. Highly recommend a walking tour in Hanoi and if you get Jenny, you're going to have a great time.

A fun way to learn about Hanoi - My guide was Duy and we spent a half day going around Hanoi. I found him to be knowledgeable and he did a great job. His English is more than good enough to maintain a conversation with a minimum of difficulty. I would have no problems with using him again in the future. I think Hanoi Free Private Tour Guide does an excellent job. I was a little uncertain at using them because the cost was so low but they did a great job.

Lovely afternoon in Hanoi with Jenny - We had a wonderful time with our guide Jenny. She customized the trip to meet our expectations as she had asked us prior about what we would like to see. We visited 2 destinations: Hoa Lo prison and Temple of Literature. Jenny was very informative and she told us many details we wouldn’t be able to learn ourselves. She also showed us lovely hidden cafe we woulnd’t find on our own. We hughly recommend this tour and Jenny as the guide!
