Experience the best of
Hanoi with Withlocals

"Trang Chu was very knowledgeable about the history of Vietnam and very friendly. We really enjoyed our evening walk - and were given lots of local eating tips"

"Thanks Ruby, we had such a great time walking around Nghĩa Trân with you. Otherwise we wouldn’t have ventured far out of the Old Quarter but it was so worthwhile walking around the streets, market and pagoda with you - thank you! Wishing all the best to you and your family. "

"Loan give us a perfect impression of Hanoi in just a few hours. My friend (first timer in Vietnam) and myself (a regular) both enjoyed her professional tour done in a super friendly way. Loan also gave us the opportunity to ask her loads of questions about culture, daily life and all that came to mind. It was like a friend proudly showed her city to us. I can recommend Loan to an traveller to Hanoi!"

"This was an excellent tour with Trang. She was very informative, and in 2 hours we learned more about Vietnam and Hanoi in particular than we had in the previous two weeks. We saw a local market and got to visit an apartment building and tour one of the apartments, owned by a delightful former teacher. We also visited a temple and learned about religious practices in Vietnam. Overall, this was one of the most interesting and educational tours we have done. Trang is an excellent guide, and we highly recommend this tour to those wanting to see a different side of Hanoi, not the normal tourist destinations."

"Lien was a wonderful guide. I took a three hour walking tour of Hanoi with Lien which was excellent for getting my bearings and feeling confident to walk around the Old Quarter as a solo female traveller (even great advice for crossing the road). Lien was friendly and had a wealth of knowledge about her city. I particularly enjoyed learning from Lien’s knowledge of history. "

"Anne was an absolute pleasure to have in my food tour! She is friendly, outgoing, and full of great energy. What truly made the experience stand out was how she made me feel like a friend rather than just another guest. That genuine connection added so much warmth and fun to the day. She took me to amazing local spots I never would’ve discovered on my own—places that offered a real taste of Hanoi’s rich culinary scene. I don’t eat pork, which can be tricky in Vietnamese cuisine, but Anne was incredibly thoughtful and flexible. She effortlessly worked around it while still giving me an authentic and flavorful food experience. Thanks to her deep local knowledge and personal touch, I walked away with a full stomach and a much deeper appreciation for Hanoi’s food culture. I’d absolutely recommend Anne to anyone looking for a food tour that’s not only delicious but truly memorable."

"We did an off the beaten track guided tour with Trang and it was very informative and interesting. Trang was very friendly and knowledgable and we felt like we had a taste of the REAL Vietnam and not just what a tourist would normally see. The only disappointment was that I thought we were going on a street food tour as well but it wasn't the case. That was my fault though as I clearly didn't read what I was booking! Thanks Trang- I highly recommend you! "

"I have traveled many places for many years and I can say that Quynh Ahn is absolutely the best!! She met us right on time, was super friendly and personable, fluent in English, and heaps of fun! She made sure in advance to take our group of 5 to places that accommodated the vegetarian in the group, and every place we ate had incredible food. I know people say that guides take them to places that they wouldn’t have found on their own, and this was so true! I can’t give her enough stars and I’d love to spend more time with her and eating at all the other places she must know! We learned so much from her and had a wonderful time! "

"We had a wonderful time with Ruby. She was very knowledgeable and took us around an area of Hanoi that you wouldn’t normally see, and introduced us to some of the local people."

"Trang was great! She was very accommodating with a few last minute schedule changes, and she helped me buy some flowers to bring to a local dinner after. On top of that she took us to part of Hanoi we wouldn’t have gone to otherwise, and shared some great local knowledge and tips. We really enjoyed our time with her and would definitely recommend booking with her if you can! "
