"We had the pleasure of taking a Hanoi city tour with Lien and it was truly an exceptional experience from start to finish. If you're looking for a guide who is knowledgeable, passionate, and genuinely delightful, Lien is the one to choose! She guided us through a captivating journey, showing us not just the famous, must-see places, but also Hanoi's charming hidden gems. She has a talent for illustrating how the city's ancient traditions and rapid modernity beautifully connect, giving us a deep understanding of Hanoi's soul. Our itinerary was perfectly balanced and incredibly rich. We saw the true vibrancy of daily life, exploring everything from bustling street markets overflowing with local color to serene and art galleries. A highlight of the day was definitely our stop for the Vietnamese egg coffee. Lien not only took us to a fantastic spot to try this delicious local specialty, but she also ensured we could watch the process of how it's made. We highly recommend Lien for anyone visiting Hanoi.

Hanoi - customized day with Ruby
"My day with Ruby exceeded every expectation. I had an outstanding experience and can’t recommend her highly enough. Every moment felt engaging and thoughtfully planned. She catered the day to my interests and likes. Her sense of humor, kindness and genuine passion created such a positive atmosphere that the tour felt more like exploring with a friend than following a guide. Her organization and attention to detail made the day run smooth from start to finish. She elevated the experience to something special for my time in Vietnam. Recommend booking with this exceptional guide."

Private & Personalized Tours in Hanoi with a Local
When you hit the road and land in a new city like Hanoi, there's an exciting way to dive into its soul: personalized local tours. Forget the typical touristy routes – these tours are like having a local friend show you around all the cool spots.
Imagine having someone who lives and breathes Hanoi spill its secrets. That's what local guides bring to the table. They know the hidden alleys, the best bites, and stories that never made it to the guidebooks. Whether you're into munching through food tours, wandering the city's streets, or going off the beaten path, a local guide hooks you up with a private tour that's authentically Hanoi.
The best part? These tours are all about you. No herding in big groups or rushing through places you're not interested in. With private tours, you're the boss. Whether it's snapping pics at iconic landmarks, diving into history, or checking out the art scene, the tour is tuned to your vibes at your tempo.
But it doesn't stop at city limits. Day trips let you escape the urban jungle and explore nearby wonders. And if you're just setting foot in Hanoi, kickstart tours give you a taste of everything. Think of it as a crash course in Hanoi awesomeness, guided by a local who knows the city like the back of their hand.
So, next time you're in Hanoi, ditch the ordinary. Grab a local tour and unlock the city's real magic – the stories, flavors, and places that make it uniquely Hanoi. Get ready to explore like a local!

Fun and flexible
"This trip we’ve started to do the ‘With Locals’ tours as well as other more regular guided experiences. Really enjoying the very personalised touch from the With Locals team and this fantastic street food tour with Anne is a good example.
We had already done some street food tours elsewhere plus cooking classes so had a good idea of what we wanted. She asked our preferences before the tour and was able to accomodate: for me that was ‘things on sticks’.
Lots of different and contrasting foods and plenty of local insights. Anne was great to go around with, it felt more like hanging out with a friend than going on a guided tour. We probably laughed more than we ate.

"I had a great afternoon with Loan exploring Old Town where she shared local history and her personal experiences growing up in Hanoi. I really enjoyed our conversation and seeing a local perspective. It helped me appreciate and see Vietnam in a unique way. "

A Magical Walk Through Hanoi with Loan
"We did a walking tour with Loan and she absolutely exceeded our expectations. The tour was fantastic from start to finish. She took us to some incredible places around Hanoi and even added a few special, lesser-known spots that made the experience truly unique.
Loan has a wonderful way of sharing the city’s history—engaging, and full of fascinating insights. It ended up being one of the best ways to discover Hanoi, especially if you enjoy learning about the culture and the stories behind the city. She is an outstanding guide and we couldn’t recommend her enough.
