The walking tour around the old quarter was a good introduction to life in the ward. Our guide was very informative, helpful, explaining life in the past and present throughout the old quarter. Highly recommend this tour
The Highlights & Hidden Gems With Locals: Best of Hanoi tour truly lives up to its name. It reveals the side of Hanoi you’d never find alone, temples you would never think to enter, coffee shops tucked behind unmarked doors, and secret passageways that define the city’s character. Hanoi is a maze of hidden gems, and without a guide you would miss most of them. A big thanks to Ruby for an unforgettable experience.
Hang our guide was great! 😊 She helped us see so many things! And helped us find local places to even do yoga! This was the perfect tour to start our time in Hanoi! She also took the best pictures! 🫶
We had a fantastic sightseeing tour with Hang Nguyen, 4 hours private tour on food through old Hanoi. We saw many beautiful places, busy markets and hidden gems, we would not ever had found ourselves. Hang gave us a great introduction to local Vietnamese traditions and culture. We highly recommend “Highlights & Hidden Gems With Locals” with Hang Nguyen ❤️😀. Best, Tine & Carsten
Jenny was an amazing guide! This was exactly the type of tour I wanted during my first visit to Hanoi. I had a wonderful time and highly recommend this tour for anyone that wants to see and learn about Hanoi.
Flower did a tremendous job explaining the street food, the differences between temples and pagodas, the history of Vietnam and really connected with us.
Loan was a great guide. Super friendly and knowledgeable. She took us to see places and things that we’d never have found on our own. We even got to observe a family ancestors ceremony in a hidden temple!
Ruby was an excellent guide, she was a really nice person who made us feel at ease. She told us lots of interesting facts and was very flexible with our tour and what we saw. Highly recommend Ruby.
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.
We had an amazing tour with Loan, very informative, interesting, with so many little gems to discover and she was also very empathic and understanding, moreover she was also very curious of our culture. It was really worth it!
