Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Trang was an outstanding guide. Personable, knowledgeable and fun to be with. Food was amazing - I don’t need to eat for a week now!"
"We had a wonderful tour with our guide, Trang in Hanoi. She was approachable and made it easy for us to ask questions throughout the tour. By sharing her personal experiences, she created a tour that gave us a genuine understanding of real life in Hanoi. We especially loved learning about local families, local living conditions, exploring the markets, and hearing the background of an important pagoda. It was insightful, engaging, and perfectly tailored to us. Highly recommended!"
"We spent a few hours with Lien today and she was a joy! Completely knowledgeable about Hanoi and the history of Vietnam, as well as being fun to be around! She took us for egg coffee and it was delicious! Highly recommend Lien for the walking tours!"
"Great time trying everything from bun cha to egg coffee. Highly recommended to dive into Hanoi’s food scene with someone who really knows the city!"
"Kim is super knowlegable about local food , culture and history and kept us fully engaged for 4 hours trying great local dishes in non touristy spots"
"We had such a great experience going on two tours with Ruby. The “10 tastings of Hanoi” and the “off the beaten track tour”. Ruby was so nice and knowledgeable, our whole group (6 adults and a 12 year old) had such a great time we didn’t want her to leave. We HIGHLY recommend doing the “off the beaten track tour” with Ruby first thing in Hanoi, as this was definitely one of the highlights for all of us. We will be back to Vietnam in the near future and will be sure to book more tours with Ruby because we saw and learnt so much that we would never have seen without her. "
"Kim told us he wanted us to see Hanoi through his eyes. It was awesome. He was attentive to what we wanted to try, a great conversationalist, willing to take on any questions, and fully flexible with our itinerary. Highly recommended. "
"Loan was very flexible with timing and what we wanted to see. Great pre tour comms. In addition to providing us with a lot of information about Hanoi’s history and culture we saw a lot of things we would never have found or known about ourselves. Loan also took us to some great cafes to recharge along the way (it was 38 degrees). If you want to make your own adventure, learn a lot and have fun, book Loan!"
"Lien was amazing! Super knowledgeable and kind and took us to some delicious places that we truly would not have experienced on our own. She personalized the tour to our preferences and gave us a lot of great information. She even shared her personal recommendations for our next stop on our trip in Vietnam. Amazing experience. "
"We had a fantastic tour with Lien. She is knowledgeable, fun, interesting and interested. We had a very relaxed time in her company. We sampled delicious food in tucked away places that we would never have found ourselves. It is one of the highlights of our visit to Vietnam, thank you Lien."
