The tour was brilliant. It was well pased and was just the right length. Tony was an excellent tour guideand explained everything in such detail. We couldn't have asked for a better tour guide and group. Thank you so much.
Da was very friendly and knowledgeable about the culture and history of the places we visited. He took the time to explain things clearly and helped us with the onward journey. He was very kind and patient with everyone 's needs. The lunch was delicious too. Thank you for a lovely day.
Our tour guide Tony was super friendly. He speaks very good English and gives a lot of information about the highlights in Hanoi. A part of our tour we did by bicycle to Banana Island, this was also realy nice to do. The rest of the tour we did by car with a very good and nice driver. We enjoyed it very much, thank you Tony!
We had a great day tour with our tour guide tony. He patiently explained each place we visited and made us connect emotionally with it.
Loved the day tour at Hanoi, our guide Tony did a great job by helping us explore the authenticity of the city by explaining every detail of the city . He also made sure our lunch was served as per our choice. We also had good team members which made it a memorable one
From the moment we met the tour guide, Tony, his energy and passion were clear. He welcomed everyone warmly and immediately set a positive tone for the day. As the tour began, he shared fascinating stories about Vietnam’s history and culture, making each stop more meaningful with his engaging and often humorous storytelling. The itinerary was thoughtfully planned, taking us through a great mix of peaceful pagodas, temples, museums, and important historical sites. Each location offered something unique and helped us appreciate the depth of Vietnam’s heritage. Throughout the tour, Tony was very attentive—he remembered each of us by face and name, and always made sure no one was left behind before moving on. He also kindly offered to take our photos without us even asking, which made it easier to relax and enjoy the experience. The bus was another highlight—clean, spacious, and well air-conditioned, which made the rides between stops very comfortable. Free bottled water was also provided, which we really appreciated, especially with the warm weather. The driver was smooth and safe, making the whole journey even more pleasant. If there’s one small suggestion, it would be to allow a bit more time at some of the more scenic or meaningful stops so we could take it all in and snap a few more photos. It might also be a plus if we would go to the local markets to find some local goods. Overall, it was a fantastic and memorable experience. Tony’s passion, knowledge, and friendly nature truly made the tour special. Highly recommended!
