Amazing family fishing trip - We had such an amazing family fishing trip with Hang and it was great to see another side of Hanoi, away from the usual tourist areas and experience what the locals do. Hang was a fantastic guide and made sure our 3 kids had everything they needed throughout the trip. We even managed to catch a large fish, which quickly ended up being served up for a delicious lunch! I can't recommend this trip enough for anyone looking to do something off the usual beaten track in Hanoi. Hang was wonderful - thank you!

Great family friendly tour with a fantastic person - We had a great tour with Ruby. It was a good combination of some historical information, sightseeing, food tasting and child friendly games. Our daughter of 7 was tired from the trip over here and therefore a bit difficult. Ruby remained extremely friendly and kept her engaged.

Hanoi old town walking tour with Trung - Trung was a lovely, knowledgable guide. We booked her for our first day in Hanoi and she provided a great orientation of the old town. We ventured through markets and saw the sights under her excellent guidance - and, importantly, we learned to ‘walk with purpose’ across the crazy streets! Trung was warm and friendly and also gave some excellent dining suggestions which we followed up. She is highly recommended. Thank you Trung!

The hidden gems of Hanoi - Anne certainly delivered a memorable experience on day 1 of our time in Hanoi. We were a large group of 10 which Anne managed well, telling us to be like “sticky rice” when crossing the hectic roads. A phrase we continue to use. Anne certainly did show us some hidden gems which we never would have found on our own. She was very knowledgeable and answered all of our many questions. Thank you Anne for an amazing tour of your home town. You were very giving of your time.

Great informative family tour, friendly and knowledgeable guide! - We had the pleasure of a lovely tour with Ruby at the end of June, 2024 with our family (3 kids - 12, 11 & 6). Ruby was fantastic and catered the tour to our kids with breaks for sugar cane juice, ice cream and cake to keep them interested. Ruby showed us lots of interesting history and markets, and has a beautiful and friendly demeanour, would very highly recommend this tour for families!

3 hour walking tour Hanoi Old Town - Hoa our guide for the day was fantastic. Her English really great. She was informative and interesting and took us to places we would never visit or find on our own. She was so knowledgeable. She took us for egg coffee which we loved! She was so passionate and very in tune with what we wanted. We ended at the prison which she knew so much about. I would highly recommend this tour. We covered a lot of ground but also had rest stops so we didn’t burn out in the heat. Hoa was a fantastic guide.
