Really enjoyed the tour. Guide was very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable. We saw and learned a lot about Hanoi. Highly recommend. Weather was not great but they provided some protection for us so we could continue tour without issue.
What an unforgettable day in Hanoi! We wandered on our cyclo through the lively lanes of Dong Xuan Market, admired the elegant Hanoi Opera House, visit outside the St Joseph Cathedral, and found peace at the Tran Quoc Pagoda. Our guide, Jade, was an absolute star 🌟 — full of fascinating stories, great energy, and a wonderful sense of humor. She made every stop feel special and brought the city’s history to life. If you’re visiting Hanoi, don’t miss this tour — and definitely ask for Jade!
Fantastic, what a way to see the city up close and personal. Great to have a guide with you to explain the sights. Very accommodating with itinerary as you can change to see what you like.
