Amazing Walking Tour in Hanoi - Quynh Anh was the best walking tour guide we have ever had. She showed us around Hanoi and showed us extremely interesting cultural sites. She tailored our tour to what we wanted to see. We had great conversations with her throughout the trip. She made our trip very memorable!

Hoa what an incredible tour guide! - Of course there were thorough explanations, great communication, really all the stuff you would expect from a tour guide.
But the things that made this tour really amazing for me:
Loads of small restaurants that there were no way I'd find alone that were awesome!
Took me shopping and negotiated for me!
Talked about the economic situation and history of Vietnam in an easy to understand but interesting way.
Talked about things like the effect of the pandemic, differences in culture for different areas of Vietnam, and what day to day life is like here.
I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get a really well-rounded Hanoi experience in just a few hours.

Great walking tour with excellent guide Ruby! - We had a great half day walking tour with Ruby. From the moment we met her until our time was up, Ruby fascinated us with numerous stories about Hanoi and its past and present. We were taken to some well hidden places which we would never have found ourself, and Ruby provided many additional suggestions for us to try ourself. We felt like old friends with Ruby, who was so interested in our lives as well as telling us so many facts about Hanoi. We found the prison very disturbing but definitely worth seeing. Ruby also recommended may restaurants and places to try, which we did in the days after the tour. Many thanks Ruby! Paul & Colin

Outstanding guide, authentic experience - I had just 2 brief days in Hanoi and Toan did an outstanding job in ensuring I made the most of it and without feeling rushed. I couldn’t recommend him enough. He is your guide if you want a comfortable, authentic experience with some hidden gems throughout!

City tour with a difference,the real Hanoi with a local. - Spent 3 hours with Quyny Anh on our first day in Vietnam. What a fabulous way to get right into the culture, ways of living, beliefs and madness of the city. Quyny Anh was delightful, funny and engaging with lots of stories and anecdotes to give us a taster of the city. Would thoroughly recommend, particularly on your first day in the city to help get a feel quickly.

Great Hanoi Walking tour - We had a wonderful afternoon with Trang. We met her outside of the typical tourist areas and got see a great example of daily life in Hanoi. Whether it was the neighborhood market, a stroll in the park, a hang in the local cafe or a visit to a small pagoda and cemetery, Trang was great sharing the day in the life of a native Hanoian. She is very down to earth and made our time together very enjoyable.

Anne is a delight! - Fabulous experience with Anne and my tour of Hanoi. She was knowledgeable and enlightning on the places that we visited. Her curiosity was remarkable and we ended up talking about a lot of things around her life growing up and Hanoi and the experience that I have, in contrast, living in the US. The tour covered many traditional highlights, unknown nooks and crannies such as a hidden temple, and seeing a home that changed dramatically after the influence of communism in the ‘70s. Anne was quick to adapt when something caught my eye - vintage thrift shop !- letting the tour veer off based on my questions and interests. Her positive spirit and infectious laugh made the tour even that much more fun.
