Amazing Tour with Gracie - Gracie led us on an unforgettable six-hour journey through the hidden alleys and corners of Hanoi. We were amazed by the city’s rich history and gained a good understanding of both Hanoi and Vietnam. Gracie provided us with numerous recommendations for places we could explore on our own later. She customized the tour perfectly to our interests and needs, ensuring every stop was meaningful. When it came to breaks for food and drinks, she chose spots that were truly delightful. We spent most of our time in the Old Quarter and the Government District, with the grand finale being a visit to the Ho-Chi-Minh Presidential Palace. If you wish to truly understand and explore Hanoi, I can highly recommend Gracie! She can even accompany you to museums for a more in-depth experience.

Old Quarters Adventurous Street Walk - The Student guide is absolutely helpful and patient. We also have no problem understand his English. What's more interesting Is the guide showed us the skill of crossing the streets at Hanoi Old Quarters which were filled with motorbikes zooming here and there during the day or night. We had a good time in Hanoi.

Super recommended experience - Lindy, my guide, was just amazing. We met near the Lake (you can also be reached at your hotel) and took me for a ride to know the main places in downtown Hanoi. We talked about culture and history. He also introduced me to a restaurant where I ate great food from typical Vietnamese cuisine. In addition, the service is practically free. The association proposes to return $4 of the $5 paid. Of course you can leave them to them to support the initiatives. (Which I recommend). Ideal for those looking for an experience with a person who lives in Hanoi, of whom he knows practically everything.

Fabulous authentic Hanoi experience - I loved my private tour with Minh. He picked me up directly from my hotel and we walked around the streets visiting some of Hanoi’s unique cultural places. He was a wealth of information and learnt so much about the history of Vietnam. We even stopped and had a food tasting at a little local food stall along the way. It as a fabulous morning. Thank you:)

Nice tour - The guides were very good and had a lot to tell about the city. It was a little too much to send two guides when we were a group of two persons.
