A Stroll Through Hanoi Old Town - Ruby was so knowledgeable and gracious and gave us lots of information about Hanoi history and the nuisances of the old town. She was calm, patient and a pleasure to be with. We enjoyed the experience and getting to know Ruby. We would definitely recommend her.

Short stay in Hanoi - I booked Jenny as I had a short stay in Hanoi. We hit lots of the main attractions and some others that were interesring. She knows the city and the culture well
Would definitely recommend her as your guide for the day
If you in Hanoi and need a guide then I recommend, you can see more in a day with a guide than wondering around on your own...

Highlights and Hidden gems of Hanoi - Highlights and hidden gems of Hanoi were expertly and interestingly revealed by Anne in a tour that took us into places that you would never find in a guide book! She explained how many different aspects of Hanoi worked-including housing, shopping, and temples.
Our ten tastings of Hanoi Food tour with Anne was equally interesting, finding authentic Hanoi foods in unexpected place. She was great at explaining the street food culture and how to do it right! Anne is very sociable and great to spend time with.I would definitely recommend her - she is an excellent withlocals guide!

Lien is a Hidden Gem - Our tour with Lien was truly amazing. Truly our favorite day in Hanoi. She was so knowledgeable and took us to truly amazing places. We requested to do the Mausoleum as well as a Pagoda in West Lake along with the hidden gems, she made our requests happen. We was very warm and easy to talk to- answered amazing questions. My favorite part was getting to see secret temples and shrines as well as an amazing cafe for egg coffee at the Hanoi Cafe and a great cocktail bar- circle. Truly an amazing day, we wish we could have spent more time with her exploring. Book with Lien- you will not be disappointed.

Best guide in Hanoi - Loan was an incredible guide, making my introduction to Hanoi truly memorable. Her deep knowledge of the country’s history and her knack for uncovering hidden gems in the Old Quarter added so much charm to the experience. She pointed out details I would have completely missed on my own, giving the tour an extra layer of magic.
One standout moment was when she took us to the famous doughnut stand tucked away in the Old Quarter—it was absolutely delicious and something I never would have found without her. Loan also recommended a street food tour with another guide, which sounded amazing, though sadly, we ran out of time to try it.
Loan, thank you for an unforgettable experience! Your expertise and warmth made our time in Hanoi so much more special.

Great evening trip around the food and drink highlights of Hanoi - This was my second trip to Hanoi and my partner and I spent an evening with Brian on his walking tour. Great guy who is very knowledgeable about Vietnamese history. First stop was a roof top bar with views across the city. We then explored local street food vendors trying the infamous Banh Mi, a chicken and rice dish and grilled quail eggs. Without Brian’s recommendations we probably wouldn’t have stopped at these place. They were definitely popular with locals and worth a stop . We also visited a quirky bar serving a flaming Pho cocktail and then onto the Pasteur Craft Beer bar to try out a beer flight of three local beers. The passion fruit and Jasmine IPA’s were the favourite. We would definitely recommend the tour with Brian.

Going behind tourism to find out about local people - I choose this tour because I wanted to see what life is like for ordinary people.
I was not disappointed, Trang gave me a tour of the local area ,showing me how and where people live. She gave me a an insight into the thoughts and hopes of those people.
If you wish to learn about thiis side of Hanoi she is a good choice.

Amazing insiders view of Hanoi’s Old Quarter - We had the most amazing morning with Loan doing walking tour of the Old Quarter. She was very informative, took us into places that you’d never go into as a foreigner (little back streets and very local places) and it just felt special. An insiders look into Hanoi.
Was great to taste the local donuts, we visited a number of temples which were so intriguing to see and then finished at the Hanoi Hilton (the prison).
Thank you so much Loan - it was an amazing experience.
