Excellent introduction to Hanoi! - We had a great half day with Martin our guide for our first time and first day in Hanoi. He was happy to customize the tour a bit to fit what would be best to see. Highlight - driving through the crazy traffic and also learning how to cross roads with confidence. We did a train street morning stop and enjoyed a harrowing coffee/speeding train-near-your-head experience (wow!) and enjoyed the ancient Buddhist temple + Buddha tree on the island. Overall, highly recommended, great way to get a feel for this city.
