Great Value - We had a fantastic tour and our guide was knowledgeable, well spoken and thoughtful. Kyle went out of his way to ensure we enjoyed our day, helping with shopping tips and went above and beyond with his service. He made us feel very comfortable and we laughed a lot. Such a great day to end our stay in Vietnam. I hope you develop a shopping tour of Hanoi’s 36 streets. I highly recommend this company. On time, and delivered everything and more that was included in the package. Thank you so much we will remember this day for a long time.

Great Experience - We had a good time on our tour. We got to bike along the outskirt of Doung Lam ancient village. Kyle was very friendly, kind and knowledgeable about the city and it's culture. It was interesting to learn about the history of the temple and the ancient city. We did a lot of walking around the temple, the ancient city and the silk shops. The food was very good at the guest house, we enjoy our meal and tea. If you like a calm and peaceful adventure, this will be a good tour for you.
