Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Ruby has been absolutely amazing from the start of booking the tour right the end and beyond. Ruby went over and above making sure our Hanõi experience was A**. Ruby was so knowledgeable and passionate about her birth place in stunning Hanõi. The different local street foods were of the scale. As l use a wheelchair, she was extremely attentative that l was safe at times and also asking my husband Simon, if she could help him with carrying our bags. The tour was breathtaking. Ruby got us a fabulous place on Train St right by the track which was awesome. Ruby told about the culture, all the different streets and even going back centuries. Ruby was as if she were family to us and will come back as soon as we can to do more tours. Ruby is, without a doubt, an absolute asset to Withlocals."
"Trang Chu was excellent from start to finish. A warm and engaging guide, keen to ensure we got the most out of our time with her. Fabulous foods from locations off the main tourist thoroughfares and it was worth it. Tasty, fresh and plentiful. She even took us for a beer on train street."
"My husband and I spent an enjoyable and energized afternoon learning about Hanoi's food scene with Ruby. We enjoyed the dishes we got to try, and this was tge highlight of our 24 hour stay in Hanoi."
"We spent the evening with Ruby doing her 10 stop food tour and couldn’t have been happier, she was absolutely fantastic especially with our 5yr old daughter. She knew all the hidden spots and local specialties, if you are here in Hanoi and want an authentic and delicious food experience she is your guide. Full of local knowledge and excited to show off her amazing city. Tim + Tish & Harriet"
"Would definitely recommend booking, we discovered many nice spots and tried new food. Loan is also great company! "
"We are a well traveled couple who have taken 20+ tours. We found Lien to be very personable, professional, flexible and with excellent communication skills. Her English is fluent and email planning flawless. She remained flexible throughout (pickup point, dietary restraints, itinerary) always with a genuine smile and great enthusiasm. A++/5 Stars, however you state it — she’s in that upper 1-2% of professionals doing a job they love and doing it well. We are very happy we chose Lien. "
"Trang was a fantastic guide, helping us explore a part of Hanoi we wouldn’t have discovered otherwise. She taught us a lot about the city and Vietnamese culture. A wonderful afternoon "
"Kim's amazing tour of the insights of Hanoi cusine was a delight. His knowlege gave great insight's into Hanoi's cusine from a cultural point and the cooking techniqes pass on from generations."
"Trang was a wonderful, friendly, warm and informative guide. She was very knowledgeable on all aspects, the way of life for people living in Hanoi as well as their belief and the history of the city. She also allowed flexibility if there was something we wanted to see or stop for a coffee etc. Highly recommend choosing Trang to be your guide for Hanoi!"
"I can’t recommend a tour with Tuyen enough. My dad and I took his 10 tastings of Vietnam tour last night and were blessed with a rich experience of Vietnamese history, culture, and culinary experiences. Tuyen is a great hang, and an absolute professional. I would recommend a tour with him to anyone visiting Hanoi"
