Successful graduates had their names engraved on a stone stele which can be found on top of the stone turtles.

Worth every penny and we absolute adored Louis/Teddy, our guide. I was so grateful for the company being so accommodating to our last minute request to edit the itinerary. Also appreciated the effort taken beforehand in trying to get to know my husband and I to custom create an experience for us. We had taken an earlier similar tour; however, this private tour really with Teddy took us to hidden gems around the city that for the average or first time traveler would be difficult to put together. We enjoyed our time with our guide very much and he kept us entertained the entire time. His historical knowledge of the places we visited kept us engaged and we were so impressed by him. AND... not enough kudos could be given to the company driver, too. He never kept us waiting and it was so convenient to pick us up so promptly to take us to all the hot spots around the city. Much Mahalo for the great, memorable experience. We'll definitely be booking with this company again upon our return with family.
Hi Hanh, Thank you so much for your glowing review! We're delighted to hear that Louis/Teddy made your tour such an unforgettable experience. It’s wonderful to know that their expertise, historical insights, and engaging personality added so much value to your day. We take pride in customizing every tour to fit our guests' preferences, and it’s rewarding to hear how much you appreciated the personalized touch. A big shoutout to our driver as well—our team works hard to ensure everything runs smoothly, and your kind words mean the world to us. We can’t wait to welcome you back with your family for more hidden gems and memorable moments. Much Mahalo for choosing ForeverVacation! Warm regards, The ForeverVacation Team 😊✨
We had an absolutely wonderful tour with Hanh (which means “happy,” which is exactly how we would exercise her joyful demeanor!) We felt so well informed, that the day was perfectly organized and that Hanh ensured the tour was perfectly tailored to our preferences - dietary and all! Her English is perfectly fluent and her presence is truly buoyant. Our driver, Hieu,, ensured we felt safe and arrived to each destination efficiently and was always right on time to pick us up. You’ll leave feeling like you’ve made a local friend & have a deeper understanding and appreciation for Hanoi and Vietnamese culture.
Hi there :) Thank you for taking the time to write such a wonderful review! We're so glad to hear that Hanh was able to provide you with an informative and enjoyable tour. We're also happy to hear that Hanh was able to provide some insights into the history and culture of the places you visited, and even taught you a few Vietnamese words along the way! We'll be sure to pass on your kind words to Hanh and let her know how much you appreciated her expertise and friendly personality. Thanks again for choosing ForeverVacation and we hope to see you back in Vietnam soon! Best Regards, ForeverVacation Team
