- Our guide, Nam Tran was excellent. He was very knowledgable and knew his history. He was prompt, very informative and answered so many questions on history. He is excellent if you get the chance to hire him.

A must-do tour in Hanoi! Rich of history! - Van was the best guide in Hanoi. The tour was very well organized, with a perfect pace and flow between locations. Van made sure everyone was engaged, encouraging us to ask questions and share thoughts. There was a great level of interaction, and it felt more like a conversation than a lecture, which made it all the more memorable. If you're visiting Hanoi, we wholeheartedly recommend this tour. It's educational, moving, and incredibly well-led. Van's passion and storyelling made it one of the best expriences of our trip.

So much learned on this tour - I learned so much about Vietnam through my personal guide. He is absolutely passionate in his work. We spent the whole morning in the national museum, shared a light lunch and then visited the ancient prison and B52 site. I can recommend his services to anyone who speaks English
