Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"what a wonderful experience for my son and I. We got to experience Hanoi with a true local. We were so well taken care of and had an amazing experience. I highly recommend this tour or any tour with Hang "
"When i first read the commands i see how people like it when i book it i love to play football whit local people and it was amazing to play whit people you not now and they welcome you to the group whit open arms "
"From the moment myself and my girlfriend booked the experience, Hàng was absolutely amazing. Ensuring we were updated with timings and knew exactly where to meet her the structure of the experience. We took a short taxi from our hotel to central Hanoi at which point we joined Hang in another taxi to the football pitches. Hang instilled us with knowledge about Hanoi as well as what to expect upon our arrival. Myself and my girlfriend, who was welcomed with open arms, joined the locals in an hour long 7 aside match which was both competitive an enjoyable. Hàng guidedis throughout the whole experience with humour and genuine care to ensure we had an amazing time, which we did! Playing football with the locals was an incredible once in a life time experience one that allowed barriers to be broken down and communication to be enhance on both sides. We weren’t able to share a drink at the close of play due to a booking we had elsewhere but with the warm welcome we were given I have no doubt that would have been amazing too. As the title suggests, if you have the opportunity! I’d recommend this to anybody! Thank you Hàng! 🙌🏾"

"This was such a fun experience! Hang made my friend and I feel like we were locals for the evening! The soccer game was a ton of fun and drinks after with the team made great memories that will last a lifetime for me. I loved the fact that I got to do something I would do at home in a foreign country. It was such a great way to get a feel for the local culture - while sharing our same love of the game! Thank you, Hang, for the amazing experience!! I would do this again in a heartbeat!"
"This was the highlight of the trip for my soccer crazy sons and their friends. We had a large group which was managed well. Hang was great with communication, picked us up on time and took us to a local high school. Was great seeing the newer part of Hanoi also, as hang took us to a large underground mall for dinner. Highly recommend this tour "
"Hang was amazing! We had such a good time playing football in Hanoi. The guys were really nice and the beer afterwards was a lot of fun. I highly recommend this tour if you want a unique experience in Hanoi. "
"I had a great evening playing football with Hang. She put together a great experience for you to play a fun football match. Her english is great so you will have no problem communicating. She will also give you great insight on the area and things you can do. I would highly recommend Hang as a host as she will make sure you have fun and will be available to answer any questions you have during your stay. If you want a great host who will show you an amazing time, then Hang is perfect."
"We had a great time with Hang! Our grandsons played soccer with the locals which was arranged by her. Everyone was very welcoming and the boys had fun. We then had dinner in a local restaurant which was delicious! Her sweet treats were amazing too :) I wouldn't hesitate to recommend tours with Hang! :) "
"Thank you so much Hang for your hospitality throughout the tour. I has so much fun with the local soccer lads. Didn’t quite score a goal but loved playing the game in a foreign land. Hang’s communication and organisation was amazing. We even got to sing a few songs together!! Thoroughly recommend this tour!!"
"My brothers and I love soccer and getting to play with some locals in Hanoi was a great way to play a sport we love and connect with the Vietnamese people. Hang arranged everything perfectly - from our meeting and drop off locations, the transportation, the soccer games on nearby fields, to the delicious sticky rice with chicken afterwards. Hang’s son was a lot of fun to hang out with too and we learned a lot about life for young people in Hanoi! This is definitely a great activity if you like soccer and want to get some exercise and hang out with local people in Hanoi "
