Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Kim told us he wanted us to see Hanoi through his eyes. It was awesome. He was attentive to what we wanted to try, a great conversationalist, willing to take on any questions, and fully flexible with our itinerary. Highly recommended. "
"Loan was very flexible with timing and what we wanted to see. Great pre tour comms. In addition to providing us with a lot of information about Hanoi’s history and culture we saw a lot of things we would never have found or known about ourselves. Loan also took us to some great cafes to recharge along the way (it was 38 degrees). If you want to make your own adventure, learn a lot and have fun, book Loan!"
"Lien was amazing! Super knowledgeable and kind and took us to some delicious places that we truly would not have experienced on our own. She personalized the tour to our preferences and gave us a lot of great information. She even shared her personal recommendations for our next stop on our trip in Vietnam. Amazing experience. "
"We had a fantastic tour with Lien. She is knowledgeable, fun, interesting and interested. We had a very relaxed time in her company. We sampled delicious food in tucked away places that we would never have found ourselves. It is one of the highlights of our visit to Vietnam, thank you Lien."
"We really enjoyed our tour with Loan who gave 150% value to the tour"
"Ruby is an excellent guide and someone who knows Hanoi intimately. She took my wife and I around markets, evocatively named streets, historic houses, religious sites, and even an old prison. Along the way we learnt about Vietnamese history, culture and tips for negotiating the everyday life in Hanoi. Ruby even helped us better understand another sightseeing tour we had planned, ringing up the provider to ensure we could get there in time. This was service above and beyond. Ruby's a lovely guide with a friendly and personable manner. If you need to understand Hanoi and Vietnam, you need Ruby."
"Spending a morning with Ruby was such a great way to introduce us to Hanoi as this was our first visit and it’s hard to know where to start. She was full of knowledge and also has the most wonderful English. We left her armed with a list of places to eat and a real enthusiasm for exploring the city some more! We really recommend her."
"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."
"Trang is very lovely and super flexible. She gave us a great tour of the old town and prison and helped us find the best deals at the market. Highly reccomend a tour with her!"
