      Highlight and Hidden Gems of Hanoi

      Review about Lien

      "Had such wonderful morning with Lien who took us on a walking tour of Hanoi. She was so accommodating, happy to meet us at our hotel at 7.30 before the days heat. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the city as well as being super friendly and with excellent English. We loved the experience and could not recommend her more highly. It’s was a fantastic way to learn more about the culture and history of this fascinating city. "

      Great city tour with Anne

      "This was our second tour with Quynh Anh (Anne to us), after a food tour the day before — and she was just as good the second time around. A word on logistics first: she was very responsive when we contacted her through the Withlocals app, got back to us quickly, and coordinating everything was completely seamless. Her English is also fantastic. The city tour itself covered a nice range of Hanoi. We visited the beautifully restored Cantonese Assembly Hall on Hang Buom — built by Chinese merchants 400 years ago — a museum showing how houses in Hanoi were built over time, and Dong Xuan Market, the big two-storey market in the Old Quarter, which is quite something to wander through. We finished with a stop at a coffee house for a classic sweet Vietnamese coffee, which rounded things off nicely. As with the food tour, Anne struck the right balance — knowledgeable, easygoing, and great with the kids. Two-for-two. Highly recommended."

      Our perfect day in Hanoi

      "We truly could not have picked a better person to introduce us to the magic of Hanoi!! Ruby was really fun, energetic, extremely knowledgeable and proud of her amazing city and heritage. It felt more like we were exploring the city with our best friend who took us to all of her favourite places and told us stories we will not forget. Thank you Ruby for a great welcome to your city, we miss Hanoi so much already and we promise to see you again!! "

      Amazing veggie food tour!

      "Loan was an amazing guide! She took me through the Old Quarters, introducing me to delicious vegetarian dishes at small local restaurants and street stalls that I never would have found on my own. Her knowledge of the food, culture, and local area made the experience truly special. Everything felt authentic, relaxed, and incredibly welcoming. I highly recommend Loan to anyone looking for a genuine food tour in Hanoi!"
