A memorable tour in Hanoi - We have a good time with the volunteer guides who contribute their free time to share us the background of the prison and modern history of Vietnam. They are very professional and can speak fluent English. We highly recommend the visitor to make us of this services.

So much to learn about the history of this city and country - Took this private tour with Gracie, she is a font of history and information in Hanoi. We went to the Haa Lo Prison first and she gave a fantastic tour of the exhibition with nothing she didn’t know about the history. The war museum was next and again she was so informative about the whole era. It was so nice to have a guide that was so proud of her country and city. The whole walking tour was about 5 hours and I loved every minute. I know more tour guides are available but Gracie was perfect for me as she spoke amazing English and my Vietnamese is non existent. Thank you Gracie it was a pleasure to have you as my guide and long may you inform people about your amazing city and country.

Great day with Jenny exploring and learning about Vietnamese history and society - I explored Hanoi with Jenny who drove me around the city in her motorcycle giving me a very unique experience. It was a last minute booking and I really appreciate Jenny picking me up shortly after on a very hot day! We visited Ho Chi Minh Museum, Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and Hoa Lo Prison. Jennie was very knowledgeable and taught me a lot about Vietnamese history and society today. Jenny also personalised the tour a bit and kindly took me around Hanoi afterwards to try egg coffee, Bahn Mi and also took me to a shop to buy coffee! I would recommend this tour to any visitor. It’s a wonderful way to get to know the city from a local.

Educational tour on the history of Vietnam - With our Guide Scorpio visited the HCM museum and Hao Lo prison. Very impressive to hear all the stories about the still very recent history of this country. Scorpio spoke good English and explained everything well. We walked with him through the old quarter and exchanged stories. All in all a very successful morning!

Amazing!! - Mai was an exceptional guide throughout my tour in Hanoi. She was incredibly kind and attentive, ensuring that I visited all the places I wanted to see. From 9:30 am to 5:00 pm, she stayed with me, sharing her knowledge of the city's rich history and guiding me to all the key landmarks. Her dedication and warmth made the entire day an unforgettable experience. I truly appreciated her efforts in making my visit to Hanoi so special!

A tour worth every minute of your time in Hanoi! - We did the “War Sites” tour with our guide Gracie who was excellent in the way that she conveyed to us her deep and wide knowledge of Vietnam’s history of resistance to colonialism and imperialism. Her extensive knowledge was accompanied by genuine enthusiasm for the subject and great story-telling skills. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour led by Gracie and appreciated having her as our guide. We highly recommend this tour and Gracie’s services.
