Full description
This is a 4-hour experience in Hanoi. It is run by GUU TRAVEL, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.
A private day with a driver-guide is the way to see the most of a Japanese city or region in one day, because it removes the transfers between sights that eat a third of the day on public transport. Prices are usually per vehicle for up to a set number of guests rather than per person, and cover the car, fuel, tolls and the guide; entrance fees and lunch are paid as you go unless the listing says otherwise. Japanese guides are licensed for the work and typically punctual to the minute. Give the operator your priorities, and expect them to reorder the day around opening hours and crowds; that is what you are paying for.
The price covers Air-conditioned transportation during the trip, tour guide, All entry tickets and A bottle of water. It does not cover Lunch, Drinks, Tips and personal expenses and Holiday surcharge, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.
GUU TRAVEL sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with GUU TRAVEL before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

The guide was very knowledgeable and really nice and funny. He is very aCcomodating and knows so much about the history! Had so much fun! Thank you again!!! ~Chi
Our guide was really friendly, he spoke impeccable French, and his explanations about the city, the country, and Ho Chi Minh City were truly fascinating and interesting. A wonderful arrival in Hanoi. Many thanks!
We absolutely loved this tour in Hanoi! It was incredibly well put together and took us to places we would’ve never found on our own. But without a doubt, the real star of the tour was our guide, Chin. Chin is not only extremely knowledgeable about history, but he also shared fun stories and local anecdotes that made everything even more engaging. What really stood out, though, was how kind, patient and caring he was with my parents (both over 70). He never rushed them, always waited, and made sure they were comfortable the whole time and honestly, that meant so much to us. He also shared fant
Our guide Luke was great. The tour helped orientate us - so the rest of our time in Hanoi was easy. It was also nice having a decidates private car driver. The tour was flexible and we added and changed things to suits us. Recommend this.
We had a great tour. Lucas was on time and very friendly. He was very knowledgeable and helped us amend the tour as the Mausoleum was closed on the day we did it. His insights on Buddhism and on Confucius were really interesting. The mini bus was comfortable and air conditioned.
We really enjoyed the tour. Our guide Duy was excellent, friendly and helpful. He easily adapted the tour to meet our preferences. Recommended!
Great tour which covers all the important tourist attractions in Hanoi. Our tour guide Lucas (Phoc) was excellent and very easy to communicate with. He was happy to accommodate any requests and had planned a very good itinerary including ensuring that we got to see the train pass through the train street. The vehicle was also very comfortable with good seats and air conditioning.
Tuong tour guide was excellent. Pleasant person and shared interesting insight into Vietnam culture and society. Very efficient and well organized.
Harry was a great guide, very informative, and added additional stops to the itinerary so that we could see everything we wanted to in Hanoi. Highly recommend
We had a full tour of the main attractions of Hanoi. Transportation between the places was seamless and very well organised by our guide. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and kind and even though his English was not perfect we understood everything and discovered a lot about the history of the city.
What a great way to spend our first day in Hanoi! Duc gave us a wonderful customized tour of many highlights as well as a lot of history and fascinating information. Highly recommended!
This was our first time in Hanoi and the tour was very informative. Our guide Duc was very nice and incredibly well informed. He told us lots about the history of Vietnam and current affairs. It was a very comfortable tour as we were being driven around the city to the various attractions. I would recommend this tour.
