Enthusiastic and Caring tour guide with great cultural experience! - Sandy was absolutely amazing! She was super friendly, passionate about her job, and incredibly knowledgeable about Hanoi’s history and culture. I was traveling with my elderly mom, and Sandy went above and beyond to ensure her comfort and safety, even graciously escorting her through the bustling streets. She gave us a wonderful insight into the local lifestyle as we explored different quarters of Hanoi, and her food recommendations were spot on. Not only were they delicious, but she also made sure they were safe for us—no upset stomachs here! Sandy’s enthusiasm and genuine love for her culture made the tour so enjoyable. She truly made us feel cared for and enriched our experience in Hanoi. Highly recommend her—she’s the best!

Hanoi private sight-seeing tour - Jenny was a fantastic tour guide and host! We had the most amazing day exploring Hanoi and seeing some of the city’s best sights. Jenny knows the city so well and has a wealth of knowledge about Vietnamese history and culture. Having a private tour meant we could go at our own pace and ask as many questions as we liked. We would definitely recommend the tour as a must-do in Hanoi!

Great tour of Hanoi - Sandy was so knowledgeable and friendly. We did a customized tour with the sites that we wanted to see. She ordered taxis for us, got our entrance tickets, took us to see the train street and actually found us seats! She made some amazing food recommendations. Very talented lady and excellent. We'd highly recommend her!

Tour with Trung - Our guide Trung was fabulous! He had suggestions on what to see but was open to our additions or changes. He was prompt & courteous and was always making sure we were safe and happy with the tour. We had special coffee while waiting for the street train, saw the B52 museum and wreckage in the lake, toured St. Joseph’s Catholic Church and had lunch at a Michelin star restaurant enjoying the best beef Pho in Hanoi. All in all a very nice day. We would highly recommend this tour.

Historical guiding tour - Very interesting sites, maybe to few historical architectures, but so rich comments from the guide. I might regret not seeing the Pagoda Den Ngoc Son, but overall reach the description.
