Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Ruby was a wonderful guide who I can highly recommend. Her level of English communication was excellent, communication clear , personality warm and her knowledge / passion for Hanoi / Vietnam was comprehensive. Hidden bars / coffee shops and local food restaurants were all memorable."
"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!"
"We really enjoyed our tour with Loan who gave 150% value to the tour"
"Anne was a wonderful host, she took lots of care to understand our dietary requirements and plan accordingly. We ate delicious food in lots of authentic spots around the city and she was fun and easy to chat to, offering insights and follow up details afterwards. Highly recommended!"
"The second I met up with Ruby, I instantly felt comfortable and also felt like I've known her my entire life. She is so friendly and sweet and super knowledgeable of the city. She knows the best spots, especially for Train Street. When I come back to Hanoi, there's no one else that I would want showing me more of the city than Ruby! "
"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."
"Trang Chu was the cherry on the top of the cake to our last night in Hanoi! What a plaseant way to get to know local spots ! She was super careful with the kids and made walking on the street very fun! Hope to have the opportunity to see her again! "
"We took two trips yesterday with Lien on our first full day in Hanoi - we couldn’t have had a better host or a more perfect introduction to Hanoi. In the morning we took the Coffee Culture Walking Tour. Illness on our part meant we had to request last minute alterations, which Lien accommodated seamlessly! The tour involved a wonderful stroll around the Old Quarter including some very enjoyable coffee stops - the ginger coffee in particular was exceptional! In the evening we took the Drinks & Bites tour. Still suffering, Lien again adjusted the tour to start closer to our hotel. The tour was an amazing experience of the sights, sounds and tastes of Hanoi in the evening. The coconut ice cream was a highlight. Lien was a perfectly charming host - whose love for Hanoi shines through, providing a great introduction to our visit. "
"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 ❤️"
