Had an awesome experience, Oliver and Mr Vien (our driver) were very hospitable. My favourite place was the temple, learning the history of the monks. I’m very glad we chose to do this tour.
Justin knew a lot of things about the local culture and gave us a lot of information. He was polite and patient. Thank you!
Tour guide Hang took me to places i havent been during my full day city tour. Thuong was her partner who took care of bikes parking. They made up a great partnership that makes my bike tour enjoyable.
Thank you Mac for the super friendly and informative tour. Mac guided us perfectly through the must see spots of Hanoi and gave valuable insight in culture and history. The last row in the bus unfortunately has high seats which don’t offer good view through the windows while driving.
Excellent half day tour with a lovely air conditioned van to retreat to, in between attractions. We covered more sights and places with the half day tour than we could of on our own in a full day.
Thank you Sophia !! We had a an amazing time !! You are an amazing story teller, we learned so much about Viet history. We had the full day City tour, the restaurant for lunch was also quite nice !
K was our guide and he was Brilliant. really knowledgeable and funny and was happy to answer our questions and made jokes with us. one of the best guides weve had in Vietnam. the tour was well thought out and overall we had a fab day.
Great day trip. Not too long. Awesome coffee to try at the end. No other coffees I tried in Hanoi matched it.
A very well guided tour by Quinn who communicated well in advance and was informative and friendly as we travelled around the sights. Would recommend as an introduction to Hanoi.
Throughly enjoyed our private tour of the city. Our guide Paul, was very fluent in English, extremely knowledgeable, polite, prompt, courteous, friendly, cheeky with a good sense of humor. Our tour was tailored to suit us. If you are traveling Hanoi for the first time or if you have been before but haven’t done a tour, I can’t recommend highly enough to take this tour. We always believed in learning about history and culture of the country we visit, and this was a great way of doing that!.. when you book make sure to request PAUL, you won’t be disappointed.
Andrew was the perfect guide, explaining the history at each stop. He was attentive to my walking challenges and chose routes with the least steps. With the help of our driver, Tien, it was the perfect intriduction to Hanoi.
Thomas was a good guide, very knowledgeable and friendly. The morning tour had a bit less crowds than I think the afternoon one would. I think it's a good length of time to let you do other activities afterwards. I enjoyed visiting the temple of literature and the Pagoda the most.
