Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"I originally booked a three hour tour but then after looking at the list of what I wanted to see, I changed it to a five hour tour. I’m glad I did. Not only did Ruby do an excellent job of showing me many sites throughout her city, but she also gave me ideas and specific links to other sites in Hanoi that I could pursue on my own. Ruby was personable and communicated very well in English. I would highly recommend her as your guide."
"Ruby was an excellent guide and knowledgeable about Hanoi and the history. It was wonderful spending the day with her and going to the historical sites and of course train street "
"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!"
"We really enjoyed our city walking tour with Tuyen. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the city and history of Vietnam. This tour is customizable to your interests, having just arrived in Hanoi for the first time we were up for anything. We took a stroll through the markets, stopped a few local hotspots to taste their specialties and learned a lot about the history and how locals live today. Tuyen was especially good with our 8 year old son, including him in our conversations and pointing out attractions that would be of special interest to him. We travel a lot and do walking tours in every new city, Tuyen's tour is definitely top tier. My only regret is that we ate shortly before the tour, because he knew all the best spots to stop in for a bite, but now we have lots of great recommendations that we can check out later in our trip. "
"Ruby was a brilliant tour guide, showing us the highlights of Hanoi and some very secret places we would never have found on our own. Ruby was friendly, knowledgeable and a great person to spend the day with! Thank you!"
"Jenny was and is fantastic what more can I say ❤️"
"This was my husband's and my second visit to Hanoi and we brought my mom and her husband for their first trip. Ruby was a friendly, fun, and engaging guide. She was wonderful at adjusting the itinerary so we all were able to try new things. She took special care to help my mom feel comfortable crossing the roads. We will absolutely be reaching out to Ruby again next time we travel to Hanoi!"
"We had a fantastic time in Hanoi with Trang Chu. She made the city come alive for our whole family, including our kids. Trang created a thoughtful and immersive experience — from exploring traditional art spaces and hands-on craft activities to walking through vibrant local markets. It felt authentic and personal, not just a standard tour. She was patient, engaging, and wonderful with the children, adjusting the pace naturally and making them part of the experience. Her knowledge and passion for Hanoi really stood out. We felt completely comfortable and well taken care of throughout the day. Highly recommended — especially for families visiting Hanoi."
"Friendly, knowledgeable and fun, a perfect guide!"
"Lien is a friendly knowledgeable person who introduced us to her city with passion! We learned so much about the Old Town, history and local customs including religious traditions & beliefs. It was a wonderful morning and we highly recommend Lien!"
