Great tour in Hanoi - Our guide was Thomas, a Vietnamese student who could make time for us after an exam. Really helpful since we talked by whatsapp and the tour that we could choose (although it was fast because we had no much time) it was amazing. We did the Hoa Lo Prision tour and Joseph Cathedral and all the information provided was super interesting but also other different topics as vietnamese history, food or fun facts… His actitud and passion make me recommend to everyone going to Hanoi making a tour with him.

Authentic Hanoi food experience - Our food tour guide, to take me to places where the locals eat, steering clear of the usual tourist spots – and he truly delivered! He took me to a fantastic barbecue buffet, and the food was absolutely delicious. The whole experience felt so personal and meaningful. It’s an experience you won't regret!

Excellent Guide - Our Guide was excellent! His in-depth knowledge of the history of the war in Hanoi was impressive and he shared interesting anecdotes that added depth to each site we visited. The visit struck a perfect balance between learning and reflection, which allowed me to leave with a deeper appreciation of Vietnam's rich history.

Eye-opening experience! - As we walked through historical landmarks, I gained a deep understanding of Vietnam's struggle and resilience during the war. Visiting places like the Hoa Lo Prison and the Vietnam Military History Museum brought the stories of the past to life. The detailed stories shared by our guide made the tour both informative and emotional, leaving a lasting impact on me.

Another, marvellous tour in Hanoi - Amazing half a day tour with Peanut, a very young student of e-buddies.
She’s able to speak English fluently and she showed me Hoa lò prison and Vietnamese Women museum. Despite the very hot weather, we went to Ho Chi Minh mausoleum too.
Then she brought me in a vegan restaurant, an hidden gem, unknown by tourist, where we had a delicious lunch.
I highly recommended the students of Hanoi e-buddies if you want a non conventional tour, if you want to chat with a Vietnamese about their culture and if you want to support a great organisation.

Prison is the only War part of the tour - The prison was very interesting and it was great having Camille along as she could give depth to the information with the exhibits.
That was the only war part of the trip as I got a message the night before to say the museum was 12km away so not possible. Offered other options but I didn’t pick your to go to women’s museum or literature museum so bailed after the prison tour. Really need to change the description as war sites tour is not what is offered.
Camille provided some very helpful guidance on visiting some other sites.
