Having Fun in Historical Hanoi - Our Tourguide was friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We enjoyed seeing the historical sites of the city. We also enjoyed some famous Vietnamese treats such as egg coffee, Vietnamese pancakes and delicious coconut ice-cream. The Tourguide was flexible and willing to make changes to the itinerary based on our interests. It was also great to chat and gain the perspective of a young person from the city. We would highly recommend this tour!

Tommy’s tour of Hanoi - Wonderful tour. Great way to spend a morning in Hanoi. Lots of culture in Hanoi that is not that easy to learn yourself without a guide. Speak English well and good company.

Extremely value for money tour! - Our guides minzhui and tracy brought us around the Old Quarter and gave us plenty of insights into the history of the place! They brought us to secret passages to the train station that only locals would know and hidden bookshops amongst many others! They also engaged us with plenty of fun conversations about daily life in Hanoi and speak super fluent English!!! Would highly recommend this tour for foreigners bc we tend to find it quite hard to cross the roads and navigate the streets and they know the place like the back of their hand!!!

Great opportunity to meet locals n have a good workout - We joined this tour on 26 May. It was a good outing being able to share with locals n understand more of the main sites in/around the Old Quarters. We did it in the evening n the two guides Trang n Dat joined us for dinner at the ‘beer street’ just like the locals do. Will definitely recommend this tour.

Great way to discover Hanoi on a budget - we were on a budget and found this free tour, it was great to have some local showing us around. This is a late review as the visit was on feb 2018 and we had lovely Dau as a guide, she showed us around and explained all the traditions for the upcoming TET, brilliant!

Best way to see the Old Quarter - We walked around foe Old Quarter for about 3 hours. Our guide spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable. We ended up in an old house that had a wonderful coffee shop. He also gave us recommendations for good local food restaurants.

Ok but major language barrier - OK for a first time visitor to Hanoi. Saw some of the main tourist sights but nothing we couldn't have found in our guidebook. The guide spoke English but was very hard to understand. Tour was supposed to be 3 hours but we cut it short to 2 hours which was sufficient given our struggle to understand our guide.

Hanoi old quarter - Very disappointing. We arranged to meet in the office as we were not staying in Hanoi only passing through . Unfortunately the guide did not turn up as they were unable to communicate with us as we were on an overnight train returning from Sapa we did however check several times with the tour operator before leaving the UK that the arrangements were still ok We would have a least appreciated somebody turning up at the office to communicate this to us rather than us trying to find out where they were
