Excellent tour, guided by Lien. She was very flexible, both allowing for myself and my wife running a few minutes late, plus modifying the tour slightly as we had already experienced street food the night before. She took us to several places we wouldn’t have found on our own, made recommendations on food to try, and gave us a lot of history of the different places we visited. I’d thoroughly recommend this tour!Did this tour on our first morning in Hanoi. Lien was an excellent guide; very friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible, with excellent English.

Did this tour on our first morning in Hanoi. Lien was an excellent guide; very friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible, with excellent English. Squeezed quite a bit into 2.5 hours, and by the end we were quite comfortable making our way through the crowded Old City, the French District, crossing the crazy street traffic, and spent the rest of the day exploring on our own, helped by her great suggestions on where to eat, etc. Would highly recommend!Jenny was truely amazing and had a great mix of local knowledge and fun. Walk around the streets of the old quarter allowed us the find a few hidden gems, taste some great coffee and learn a lot about Hanoi and Vietnam. Highly recommended asking for Jenny (Hoa) as your guide!

Both my mum and myself were so lucky to have her as our guide as she really took such good care of my mum who is in her 80s . We would not have enjoyed Hanoi so much with her showing us and bringing us around Hanoi .
