Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We had an outstanding time with guide, Liên. From the moment she picked us up at the hotel, she was warm, organized, and attentive. Her English was clear and easy to understand, and she paced the tour perfectly so we never felt rushed, even though we covered a lot of ground. We visited many of Hanoi’s major highlights, including important historical and cultural sites, and at each stop, Liên shared interesting information, we also just enjoyed spending time with her and getting to know a local. I also appreciated her local tips—from how to cross the busy streets with confidence to where to find the best coffee! What really stood out was how kind she was. Overall, this tour was the perfect introduction to Hanoi, and having Liên as a guide made all the difference. I would highly recommend booking a city tour with her to anyone who wants a full, insightful, and enjoyable day in Hanoi."
"Toured the old quarter with Ruby. She was a delight. Timely, knowledgeable, very good English. Highly recommend her. Lee Beasley "
"We met up with Loan at Dong Xuan market and spent the next 3 hours exploring places only locals would know. Time flew and although there was a fair amount of walking we knew we seeing and hearing something special - Loan doesn’t just regurgitate facts about history but puts her own warm personal touch on them with a depth of feeling that is difficult to describe. We ended our tour at the Maison Centrale prison which was both emotional and shocking whilst humbling and informative. The 3 hours had flown by and apart from some sore feet we had and incredible time with a lovely, warm and informative guide. Thank you Loan - we won’t forget you. John and Anne Marie"

She was a true local and knew all the places of interest and provided us with great ‘nuggets’ of information about the area. Jenny was great company and we are so glad to have met her.
