Ruby’s local knowledge and inclusivity of kids and adults alike meant that on the day of arriving in Hanoi, we benefited from a super learning curve about Hanoi’s old quarter, something we found useful afterwards when navigating the city on our own. It was fun, entertaining, informative and useful, and an excellent way for a family to start a Hanoi visit. Total success.Met all expectations

Our tour with Hoa was perfect. Hoa was fun, enthusiastic, kind and really engaging. She was full of information for the adults and lots of fun for our kids. She went to extra trouble to engage with our girls and find their interests. We walked around the Old Quarter, went to Train Street, rode on cyclos and went to two places for beautiful food. Hoa was disappointed with the food we had eaten earlier in the day when we showed her photos and took us to an extra place for amazing dry Pho at the end of our tour which went extra time as a result. The banh mi we had with her was also incredible. The tour was a highlight of our 2 days in Hanoi.Amazing tour with Hoa

Adults loved the tour. It was interesting and the kids learned a fun game too! The teaching at the lake was wonderful. Our kids are still talking about being “fish dragons”! I do wish there would have been more time at the market to actually shop. Bring food along if your kids are not into Vietnamese food. Hoa is lovely! So kind and knowledgeable Quick walking tour of the city

After a great experience when using withlocals in Malaysia , we decided to try it again in Hanoi. Our initial contact with our guide was promising, but the tour was changed to another guide without explanation. We booked a family friendly walking tour which promised a lot of special child friendly stuf, but got a standard walking tour. The tour was nice and visiting a ceremony in a hidden temple was great, but just not what we booked. Except for the temple, we could have dome the tour by ourselves. The guide was friendly, nothing bad about her, but thr experience was disappointing all in all.Disappointing tour, not what we booked

We had a great tour with Ruby. It was a good combination of some historical information, sightseeing, food tasting and child friendly games. Our daughter of 7 was tired from the trip over here and therefore a bit difficult. Ruby remained extremely friendly and kept her engaged. Great, family friendly tour

We had the pleasure of a lovely tour with Ruby at the end of June, 2024 with our family (3 kids - 12, 11 & 6). Ruby was fantastic, and catered the tour to our kids with breaks for sugar cane juice, ice cream and cake to keep them interested. Ruby showed us lots of interesting history and markets, and has a beautiful and friendly demeanour, would very highly recommend this tour for families!Great Informative Tour, Lovely Guide!

I honestly couldn’t ask for anything better. Choosing Loan to show us around Hanoi on a rainy day with my family was surprisingly fun. We have a 2-year-old with us and he’s having a great time the same as adults, maybe even more. Loan is such a genuine, sweet, and understanding person with lots of passion and stories to share. Her energy is so calming, so authentic. Though our tour exceeded the time due to the baby and the weather, she is still very happy to show us around and never pushed us to end the tour faster. I think at one point all of us kind of lost track of time. We all wish we could redo all of this experience again. WE LOVE YOU LOAN!!🧡 Love from ThailandThe True Local Journey

We did a 2.5 hour walking tour of the Hanoi old town with Hoa from with locals. It was fantastic. She was very energetic and informative. We were traveling with our 8 and 11 year old kids and she did a great job of recognizing their needs and interests, but at the same time gave my wife and I some good historical perspectives and information. She was very helpful in providing good information about the meet up spot and was available and open to questions and other city suggestions via WhatsApp. I booked several tours withlocals while in Vietnam and I would highly suggest using Hoa as a guide in Hanoi. If Hoa is the guide, take the tour

Ruby was great, very knowledgeable and kind. An hour into the tour, my three year old got a bit overwhelmed by the heat and intensity of Hanoi, but my five year old stuck it out with my husband, and Ruby showed them many wonderful parts of the city. So my only advice: only do this tour with kids over five. There’s a lot of walking. Excellent tour guide

We were fortunate to have Ruby take us on both a family-friendly and food tour while visiting Hanoi. She was very friendly and helpful right from when we booked, sharing tips and offering to answer any of our questions. When we met Ruby for our first tour, she was very warm and friendly, and we soon felt like we were being shown around Hanoi by a family friend. She even went above and beyond to make the tour fun and interesting for our 9yo daughter. We got to see (and eat at) a lot of hidden gems that we probably wouldn’t have on our own or with a group tour. Ruby had so much great local knowledge that she shared with us; we really treasured our time with her while in Hanoi. Thank you, Ruby!Like a tour with a family friend

Ruby was a fantastic guide, we were lucky to get her as we booked so last minute. We were not looking for anything to deep and heavy and she accommodated us with a brilliant highlights tour of Hanoi city. We learned some amazing facts and history on our walk around the town. Ruby also took us for traditional Egg coffee and gave us directions where to get the best coconut iced coffee in town - WOW they were amazing! I think if we'd had more time and energy Ruby had a million more things to show and tell. And we're grateful for the extra photos she took on her phone for us and sent over by WhatsApp after :-)Highlights of Hanoi

This was an excellent tour with Trang. She was very informative, and in 2 hours we learned more about Vietnam and Hanoi in particular than we had in the previous two weeks. We saw a local market and got to visit an apartment building and tour one of the apartments, owned by a delightful former teacher. We also visited a temple and learned about religious practices in Vietnam. Overall, this was one of the most interesting and educational tours we have done. Trang is an excellent guide, and we highly recommend this tour to those wanting to see a different side of Hanoi, not the normal tourist destinations.Local Hanoi tour

Anne was an absolute pleasure to have in my food tour! She is friendly, outgoing, and full of great energy. What truly made the experience stand out was how she made me feel like a friend rather than just another guest. That genuine connection added so much warmth and fun to the day. She took me to amazing local spots I never would’ve discovered on my own—places that offered a real taste of Hanoi’s rich culinary scene. I don’t eat pork, which can be tricky in Vietnamese cuisine, but Anne was incredibly thoughtful and flexible. She effortlessly worked around it while still giving me an authentic and flavorful food experience. Thanks to her deep local knowledge and personal touch, I walked away with a full stomach and a much deeper appreciation for Hanoi’s food culture. I’d absolutely recommend Anne to anyone looking for a food tour that’s not only delicious but truly memorable.Unforgettable Food Tour in Hanoi with Anne

We did an off the beaten track guided tour with Trang and it was very informative and interesting. Trang was very friendly and knowledgable and we felt like we had a taste of the REAL Vietnam and not just what a tourist would normally see. The only disappointment was that I thought we were going on a street food tour as well but it wasn't the case. That was my fault though as I clearly didn't read what I was booking! Thanks Trang- I highly recommend you! A unique experience

I have traveled many places for many years and I can say that Quynh Ahn is absolutely the best!! She met us right on time, was super friendly and personable, fluent in English, and heaps of fun! She made sure in advance to take our group of 5 to places that accommodated the vegetarian in the group, and every place we ate had incredible food. I know people say that guides take them to places that they wouldn’t have found on their own, and this was so true! I can’t give her enough stars and I’d love to spend more time with her and eating at all the other places she must know! We learned so much from her and had a wonderful time! Quynh Ahn is the best guide EVER!!!

Ruby planned an exceptional afternoon for us in Hanoi, one of the best we’ve had on our travels. I gave her a list of places and things that caught my attention, and she built a custom experience around them, thoughtfully organizing every stop and weaving together a journey through the history, culture, and flavors of the city. One of the highlights came toward the end of the day, when Ruby guided us through several street food spots, each one more delicious than the last. It was the perfect way to get a real taste of Hanoi’s local cuisine. And just when we thought it couldn’t get better, she surprised us with a visit to a Michelin-starred spot for a truly unforgettable bowl of Pho. To top it all off, Ruby ended the evening with tickets to the Water Puppet Theater, a beautiful and charming way to close out the day. Thoughtful, knowledgeable, and passionate, Ruby turned a single afternoon into a memory we’ll carry with us always.An Great Hanoi Experience Curated by Ruby

Ruby is a fantastic guide. She is easy to be around, speaks English well, passes along knowledge to make the city come to life, and has amazing tips and tricks that saved us time and discomfort. I won’t share any of these tips and tricks because those are part of what make it well worth it to do a tour with Ruby. Even after the tour was done we followed Ruby’s recommendations for a silk shop, restaurant, and spa and all were great. I would highly recommend Ruby to anyone considering booking a guide in Hanoi. And, I highly recommend anyone going to Hanoi book at least one day with a guide- it’ll make the city so much more accessible and easy to navigate for your entire time in Hanoi. She enhanced our Hanoi experience!!

Loan was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Hanoi. Having grown up in North Vietnam and matched with her love of history, we learned so much. I provided her some ideas for what we would like to see and she created a plan for us that fulfilled everything! The Hidden Gems and cultural sites tour was a perfect combination of the traditional sites around the city AND hidden areas we would never have found on our own. I highly recommend you book an afternoon with Loan when in HanoiAmazing afternoon in Hanoi
