Experience Day Trips in Hanoi with Withlocals

"Loan is an excellent tour guide. Broad knowledge about the flora of Ba Vi. Flexible to adjust the tour. We loved to spend the day with her. Also, she picked a really good and calm driver."

"Ruby was fantastic from start to finish.We contacted her last minute and she was able to put together a 3 day program overnight. we were traveling with my 88 year old mother and Ruby was so thoughtful and kept her company while we did some of the more strenuous walking stops. she was able to last minute arrange a speed boat to bring us back early to the harbor at Ha long Bay which cut 2 hrs on the trip. She was very adaptable and conscience of my mother's fatigue levels.I highly recommended her services. "

"We had a great time with Toan. It was like traveling with a friend and he made sure that we get a great experience without being touristic and overcrowded. The views and landscape was really amazing. We liked to talk with him about the country and it was interesting to learn more about his point of view. We highly recommend doing a tour with him. "

"Toan was an amazing host during my trip, he kindly helped arrange all outings and was accomodating to my change to the schedule which was to leave me in Ninh Binh. The canal boat tour was really nice, we saw lots of wildlife, including many Langurs, and Toan helped me to understand the geography and the local area. Was patient and helpful when climbing lying dragon mountain even in extreme heat, and our lunch in Ninh Binh was fantastic, very clean, fresh, and local food with no other westerners in the place. I can't fault the trip, or Toans hospitality."

"My friends and I really enjoyed our time with Loan and our driver. The transport was comfortable and clean. Plan was able to accomodate to our requests and personalise the trip for us. We also managed to stay away from crowded places and it felt like we had to the places to ourselves. Loan was down to earth, friendly and knowledgeable. She helped us create priceless memories. "

"My wife and I had the pleasure of experiencing a breathtaking tour of HaLong Bay with Hoa, whom we met through WithLocals. From the moment we connected with her, we knew we were in for something special. Hoa’s warmth and deep knowledge of the area were evident from the start. She curated a perfect day for us, taking into account our preferences while adding unique local touches that only someone with her insight could offer. The beauty of HaLong Bay is undeniable, but it was Hoa’s thoughtful guidance and genuine passion that truly elevated our experience. She effortlessly balanced providing us with fascinating information about the bay’s history and geology while allowing us the peace and space to soak in the stunning surroundings. Her stories brought the bay to life in a way that we could never have imagined. In addition to the awe-inspiring scenery, Hoa introduced us to some hidden gems, including a quiet spot where we enjoyed a delicious meal of fresh, local seafood, away from the more crowded tourist areas. It felt like we were experiencing a side of HaLong Bay that most visitors miss out on. Hoa was attentive, always ensuring we were comfortable and having the best possible time, but she also gave us the freedom to explore and take in the beauty of the bay at our own pace. Her professionalism, coupled with her warm personality, made us feel like we were spending the day with a friend rather than just a guide. If you’re looking for an authentic, enriching experience in HaLong Bay, we cannot recommend Hoa enough. She made our trip unforgettable, and we are so grateful to have met her. Thank you, Hoa, for sharing the magic of HaLong Bay with us!"

"We spent a wonderful day in family with Loan in Ninh Binh. Before the trip we were able to coordinate everything in detail and Loan fulfilled our wish to swap the bird park for another attraction. Very flexible and hassle-free. The best thing about the day was the bike ride through the countryside together. Beautiful. Quiet and unforgettable. That, along with the shared lunch, was very authentic. We can only recommend everyone to take a local tour with Loan!"

"I had just 2 brief days in Hanoi and Toan did an outstanding job in ensuring I made the most of it and without feeling rushed. I couldn’t recommend him enough. He is your guide if you want a comfortable, authentic experience with some hidden gems throughout!"

"Toan was genuine and professional. He spoke good English and had a vast knowledge of the area and its history. He made sure that we were happy. The day with him added a huge value and wonderful memories to our trip. We saw how "real people" live in Hanoi. Thank you Toan"

"Loan prepared a very nice tour for me! She is very good prepared and gave a lot of information! I enjoyed the tour with her very much! "
