Hanoi Half Day City Tour - Our half-day Hanoi city tour was an amazing experience! It was a well organized tour. Our tour guide, Bruno, gave us great insights into the rich history and culture of the city. We went to several tourist spots such as St. Joseph Cathedral which is a beautiful stained glass windows with impressive spires that resembles European cathedrals. We also visited the One Pillar Pagoda which offers a glimpse into Vietnam’s Buddhist heritage. We had a deep dive on the story regarding Hoa Lo Prison. It was heartbreaking to here those stories. Despite not being able to visit Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum due to unforeseen circumstances, we instead visited the opera house. We were able to experience the egg coffee on our last stop! Overall, our Hanoi city tour was a enjoyable experience!

Good talks with Mike - Very nice tour with Mike. Great to visit the temples and pagodas with a guide, as you get a much broader experience with a history lesson and other insights at each destination. Also great to be able to talk to Mike about other local customs.

Hanoi Half Day Tour - Our half day tour in Hanoi was a worthwhile experience! We got to visit popular tourist attractions in the city and was given ample time to roam around and take photos despite time constraints. Our tour guide Bruno/Minh was very knowledgeable, well-read, and polite; he made sure to provide information about each location we visited and accommodate all our questions and photo requests. Even the transportation was a clean and smooth experience. We may have had limited time but that didn't stop us from having a productive and enjoyable tour.

Hanoi at a glance - The tour was very nice and informative. Our guide, Tommy, explained the history of the places we visited, contextualized, and shared some curiosities. On the whole, a nice way to get a first approach to the city. On top of everything, we finished the tour with an excellent egg coffee!
