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 the best Hanoi guide. Her professionalism and genuine love of her city and county made this a fabulous 5 hours of Hanoi. Guiding us through the city, its history and culture it was a fun and informative time for all of us. Museum, train street, architecture, cultural treats and finished off with an authentic lunch to share. Great host and we thank Trang Chu for her time and introduction to Hanoi ❤️"
"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."
"Just got back from French quarter with gracious host Lien. Charming young lady with warm personality like old friend. Knowledgeable of history and current events not just Hanoi. Also recommend other places to visit as well. Have a great time and Banh mi delicious too."
"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!"
"Jenny exchanged messages with us in advance of the tour to ensure that she planned a route that met our wishes. She arrived on time and was so friendly and helpful. We had a really enjoyable few hours walking around Hanoi, hearing the history and how people live now, whilst seeing all the sites. We specifically wanted to go to the lake with the B52 bomber in it, and Jenny fitted this in, and then incorporated a fascinating walk back to Hoi Chi Minh's Mausoleum via tiny back roads where we got to see how people really live in Hanoi. The entire day was so good, Jenny's historical knowledge and keenness to share all she knew was fabulous. We could not recommend this more. Thank you Jenny, we had such a good day."
"I booked this quite last minute but Trang Chu was very responsive and organised. It was like spending a day in the city with a good friend who knows it very well. Lots of information about history, politics and culture and the conversation we had flowed well, expanding in to all kinds of areas. She is very intelligent, down to earth, fun and really pleasant to spend time with. The best thing I did in Hanoi."
"Ruby is amazing, from the minute I booked she was able to help curate a itinerary that fit what I was looking for. She was extremely personable, knowledgeable, and my personal photographer for the day 🥰 I'd highly recommend booking some time with Ruby to see Hanoi, I wish I had more time to explore! "
"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. "
"The city tour with Ruby was great! She was very kind and responsive on WhatsApp and personalized the tour to our wishes. She picked us up at our hotel lobby and showed us all the main attraction of her city and pointed out restaurants and shops to us! We especially loved the lunch place she took us and we appreciated all the tips she shared with us! We would definitely recommend her to anyone visiting Hanoi :) "
