Solo half day trip. - Great conversationalist even though I was on the trip alone. We didn’t have any awkward silence. Very informative of all the locations we visited. Took into consideration of what I wanted to see to tailor it to my liking. Would recommend Jenny to everyone.

A Perfect Half-Day in Hanoi with Jenny! - We had an absolutely fantastic guided half-day tour in Hanoi! Our guide, Jenny, was outstanding — incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and spoke excellent English. She brought the history and culture of the city to life and made the experience both engaging and informative. Our itinerary included Train Street (which I’d seen on Instagram — and it definitely lived up to the hype!), the fascinating and sobering Hoa Lo Prison, the peaceful Temple of Literature, and a drive through the Old Quarter, French Quarter, and the political district. The comfortable ride provided a lovely respite from the summer heat and allowed us to take in the city’s charm without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. Jenny also went above and beyond by recommending fantastic local coffee shops and restaurants for us to try later on — a thoughtful touch that added even more value to the tour. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hanoi. Ask for Jenny if you can — she made our morning unforgettable!

Great tour with Sandy of the best spots in Hanoi - We had an excellent tour with Sandy today, we hit all the major sites that we had wanted to see and she was flexible in which ones we went to. She was warm, friendly and her English was very good. As she was studying tourism her knowledge was also great. We added on a food tour and she took us to some awesome places, it’s great to be able to try food that you wouldn’t necessarily have noticed or know where to find. Thanks again Sandy!

Great introduction to Hanoi - This was our first visit to Vietnam, and our tour with Tom was an excellent introduction to Hanoi. He took us round the main sites and at a comfortable pace. Tom’s knowledge and English were both great, and he made sure we had a chance for a cool drink and sit down, sampled local produce and umbrellas when it rained. Thoroughly enjoyed, and no hesitation in recommending!
