"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!"

Awesome tour!
"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."
