Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We truly could not have picked a better person to introduce us to the magic of Hanoi!! Ruby was really fun, energetic, extremely knowledgeable and proud of her amazing city and heritage. It felt more like we were exploring the city with our best friend who took us to all of her favourite places and told us stories we will not forget. Thank you Ruby for a great welcome to your city, we miss Hanoi so much already and we promise to see you again!! "
"Loan was an amazing guide! She took me through the Old Quarters, introducing me to delicious vegetarian dishes at small local restaurants and street stalls that I never would have found on my own. Her knowledge of the food, culture, and local area made the experience truly special. Everything felt authentic, relaxed, and incredibly welcoming. I highly recommend Loan to anyone looking for a genuine food tour in Hanoi!"
"Loan helped me arrange a multi day tour (5 days) with visits and tours, excursions etc. She helped me plan it in advance and gave great advise, tips and support. She even made sure different drivers and other withlocals also could benefit from my requests. She went truly above and beyond!"
"We had a wonderful tour of the Old Quarter with our family. Loan Copper was a great tour guide for our family. We explored local life and loved this expierence!"
"We had such a wonderful time today during our guided tour through Hanoi with Kim, our super kind and knowledgeable guide. I honestly wouldn’t have known where to start with this city and how to navigate traffic whilst walking hand in hand with two kids ;-) Kim knows a lot about the city and Vietnam and took us to places we had otherwise never seen. We very much enjoyed the temple of literature and our very authentic local lunch. You’re in great hands with Kim so don’t hesitate to book a tour with him! "
"We had a 24 layover in Hanoi in July 2026. Lien asked our interests and created a lovely itinerary for us. Yes, you can walk through the Old Quarter on your own but she explained the history, what each street sold, and took us into a home for snacks and drinks. We took photos by the lake, saw temples, learned about the religious culture and saw Ha Loa prison. We booked for three hours but she kindly extended the time for us. My daughter was worried about the heat, so Lien organized the tour with some indoor and outdoor. My daughter had no issues. Lien knows so much about this city and had answers to all our questions-she really loves this city and her work. Super recommend her. "
"Excellent job customizing the tour to my pace and answering all my questions. Thank you so much!"
"Thank you, Loan, for bringing us a little closer to Hanoi. We truly enjoyed exploring the local market with you and learning more about Hanoi, its culture, and everyday local life. Your recommendations were fantastic, and we really appreciated how much effort you put into tailoring the experience to our interests and wishes. Thank you for this wonderful time and for sharing your city with us. We highly recommend Loan to anyone who wants to experience Hanoi from a local perspective."
"As a first-time visitor to Vietnam, I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction. Lien was flexible and tailored the day to my interests, taking me to unique places and local spots that I never would have discovered on my own. It felt like exploring the city with a knowledgeable friend rather than following a set itinerary. The tour gave me so much confidence at the start of my trip. Having someone to help me navigate the culture, answer my questions, and encourage me to step outside my comfort zone made arriving in a new country feel exciting instead of overwhelming. I came away with wonderful memories, a deeper appreciation for Vietnam, and the confidence to continue exploring independently. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting an authentic and personal experience. Thank you Lien. "
"Lien has been able to impress even a seasoned traveler like me, who has been in Hanoi several times before. Her deep knowledge of the city, mixed with cultural background and goos sense of humor makes the time with her very enjoyable. She deserves 10+++ "
