Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"It was a great introduction to Vietnam, during our first days in the country, on the culture, habits, history and spirituality. Ngoc made sure it was interesting for both us and the kids. We really enjoyed the tour and her stories. Ngoc was very friendly, patient and knowledgeable, which all made the tour a great experience!"
"Wow. Thank you Jenny, for showing us these great parts of Hanoi. You are truly a great and super friendly tour guide. We loved the trip together with you. The best thing to do especially at the beginning of our stay in Hanoi. Dear Jenny, you are the best! "
" We had the most fantastic tour with Trang. It was definitely "Off the beaten track". Trang was an amazing host and we learned so much from her. She explained things well and interacted with us in a very personal way. She gave us recommendations for things and it was just a. All round amazing and WOW experienced. We would highly recommend Trang. Thank you so much"
"Loan was amazing ! We really enjoyed it. Very patiënt with us and super knowledgeable about Hanoi "
"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. "
"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."
"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!! "
"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!"
"Loan helped me arrange a multi day tour (5 days) with visits and tours, excursions etc. She helped me plan it in advance and gave great advise, tips and support. She even made sure different drivers and other withlocals also could benefit from my requests. She went truly above and beyond!"
"We had a wonderful tour of the Old Quarter with our family. Loan Copper was a great tour guide for our family. We explored local life and loved this expierence!"
