what a wonderful experience for my son and I. We got to experience Hanoi with a true local. We were so well taken care of and had an amazing experience. I highly recommend this tour or any tour with Hang Awesome Experience

My brothers and I love soccer and getting to play with some locals in Hanoi was a great way to play a sport we love and connect with the Vietnamese people. Hang arranged everything perfectly - from our meeting and drop off locations, the transportation, the soccer games on nearby fields, to the delicious sticky rice with chicken afterwards. Hang’s son was a lot of fun to hang out with too and we learned a lot about life for young people in Hanoi! This is definitely a great activity if you like soccer and want to get some exercise and hang out with local people in Hanoi Playing Soccer in Hanoi

Generally, I don't like tours. At all. This mostly has to do with the fact that I always find tours rushed, impersonal and not the best way to spend my time. I realize now that this is because I have never had a tour-guide like Hang before. I had an amazing time with Hang. She was really nice, personable, spoke excellent English and made it seem like she really cared about if I had a good time or not. Spending those few hours with Hang, I felt less like I was on a "tour" and more like I had met someone on the plane coming into town and they agreed to show me the insider view of their hometown. The possibility of having a great time with Hang on any of her amazing tours is equal to the possibility of the sun rising in the morning.Absolutely the best

From the moment myself and my girlfriend booked the experience, Hàng was absolutely amazing. Ensuring we were updated with timings and knew exactly where to meet her the structure of the experience. We took a short taxi from our hotel to central Hanoi at which point we joined Hang in another taxi to the football pitches. Hang instilled us with knowledge about Hanoi as well as what to expect upon our arrival. Myself and my girlfriend, who was welcomed with open arms, joined the locals in an hour long 7 aside match which was both competitive an enjoyable. Hàng guidedis throughout the whole experience with humour and genuine care to ensure we had an amazing time, which we did! Playing football with the locals was an incredible once in a life time experience one that allowed barriers to be broken down and communication to be enhance on both sides. We weren’t able to share a drink at the close of play due to a booking we had elsewhere but with the warm welcome we were given I have no doubt that would have been amazing too. As the title suggests, if you have the opportunity! I’d recommend this to anybody! Thank you Hàng! 🙌🏾A must do experience for football lovers!

This was such a fun experience! Hang made my friend and I feel like we were locals for the evening! The soccer game was a ton of fun and drinks after with the team made great memories that will last a lifetime for me. I loved the fact that I got to do something I would do at home in a foreign country. It was such a great way to get a feel for the local culture - while sharing our same love of the game! Thank you, Hang, for the amazing experience!! I would do this again in a heartbeat!Absolutely fun local experience!

This was the highlight of the trip for my soccer crazy sons and their friends. We had a large group which was managed well. Hang was great with communication, picked us up on time and took us to a local high school. Was great seeing the newer part of Hanoi also, as hang took us to a large underground mall for dinner. Highly recommend this tour Wonderful Experience

I had a great evening playing football with Hang. She put together a great experience for you to play a fun football match. Her english is great so you will have no problem communicating. She will also give you great insight on the area and things you can do. I would highly recommend Hang as a host as she will make sure you have fun and will be available to answer any questions you have during your stay. If you want a great host who will show you an amazing time, then Hang is perfect.Awesome Football Experience

We had a great time with Hang! Our grandsons played soccer with the locals which was arranged by her. Everyone was very welcoming and the boys had fun. We then had dinner in a local restaurant which was delicious! Her sweet treats were amazing too :) I wouldn't hesitate to recommend tours with Hang! :) Football Experience

I have to admit that it was surprising to me to have such level of care by a tour guide. Ms Hang took care of every detail related to our day trip. Picking us from the hotel, accompanying us and explaining the process of what to expect before reaching the facility. Arriving at the facility and giving us a tour and later setting us up for a good meal plus dropping us off at the hotel. The whole thing was a beautiful experience! I peraonally highly recommend using Ms Hang's services.Personal Tour Guide

We had such an amazing family fishing trip with Hang and it was great to see another side of Hanoi, away from the usual tourist areas and experience what the locals do. Hang was a fantastic guide and made sure our 3 kids had everything they needed throughout the trip. We even managed to catch a large fish, which quickly ended up being served up for a delicious lunch! I can't recommend this trip enough for anyone looking to do something off the usual beaten track in Hanoi. Hang was wonderful - thank you!Amazing family fishing day out

Unique experience with Hang. A 3 hour hike, where we o ly encountered locals, on outskirts of Hanoi. She has excellent command of English, great rapport with locals, and me, as well. Would do it again. Great value for such personal attention. Intrepid traveler

Hang is one of the most genuine people I have ever met. She cares a lot to make sure you have fun and have a good experience with Vietnamese culture, away from the busy downtown area. I would recommend a day with her to anyone traveling to Hanoi.10/10 experience with Hang

We booked a walking tour with Hang while in Hanoi. She met us promptly at our hotel and the day was truly an adventure. We love gardening and we also wanted to see and learn more about the Long Bien Bridge and all the crops grown along the Red River. We got to walk among the local people and see them tend to what they were growing. We tasted local grown fruit while joining a family for a quick break. She answered every question we ask and her knowledge was vast. Would we take a tour with her again? You better believe it. Hanoi has so much to see and taking a tour always leads you down the right path.Our tour today was the best!

I booked the fishing tour with Hang. She was smiling all day and was very accommodating. Hang was a great host despite the weather and always ensured I was enjoying myself. I definitely recommend Hang as your guide when you come to Hanoi.Hang was fantastic!

Going through with the "Fishing Experience" with Hang was an incredible highlight of my month long venture in Southeast Asia. Fishing during Winter did not provide incredible results. Hang compensated by inviting me into her humble home for a holy feast with her son. This was spectacular. The hospitality was next to none. Her inquisitive mind and heartfelt stories led us to share the whole day together, proceeding with a group class work out, an impeccable massage nearby, and last but not least being introduced to the night life community. Hang is extremely heart-warming and generous creating a flexible itinerary that is one to cherish. Insights from a Young Traveller

Hang took us (2 adults and 3 children) to the nice hiking place close to Hanoi. (20-30min ride). 
First, we walked on the historical “Long Bien bridge” where we spotted the famous train. Then we walked through Banana jungle where a local lady gave us a bunch full of bananas (Fresh and yummy!). We also visited a local farm where the owner explained us about his farm. Away from Hanoi’s busy streets, it was a very nice hiking for all of us! and definitely recommend Hang’s guide who knows the area ! 
Thank you so much Hang !lovely hiking with kids

Hang was an amazing guide with a great sense of humour and bubbly personality. She took us to the outskirts of Hanoi as we hiked amidst hidden nature trails, architectural marvels and beautiful views of the sea and local wildlife. Very accommodating and very responsive. Thanks for the wonderful experience! Showed us the wild side of Hanoi

Unfortunately, rain spoiled our plans to go on a hike as the area was flooded. Hang met me in town instead and spent the morning showing me around Hanoi, giving me a personalised trip. Hang’s English is perfect and the insights, history and stories she shared about Hanoi really brought the city to life. She also knew all the best places to get food and coffee - highly recommend booking with Hang ☺️A lovely local

We had a great time paddle boating on the West Lake, followed by ice cream by the lake! Hang was great at showing us around and telling us the history of the lake etc. Great experience! West Lake paddle boat fun!

I had a very nice tour with Hang. I visited museums and historical sites and it was interesting to get Hang's insights. I now have a better understanding of Vietnamese history. Hang also gave me a tour on the back of her bike, I was a little nervous at first but Hang is an excellent bike rider and i felt very safe. All in all a very enjoyable tour.Great tour guide

We spent the morning away from the hustle and bustle of Hanoi's central area at a purpose-built fishing area for locals and travellers. It was tranquil on a weekday, perfect for a vacation. The highlight was certainly catching a fish in the first hour and literally farm-to-fork for lunch. Hang is very hospitable, and we had great conversations the entire morning. If you seek a different experience away from the typical city tours, then this is for you!A fun adventure!

I booked a personal tour with Hang to explore the history of Hanoi and it's people. Hang was very knowledgeable, professional, friendly, approachable and a credit to Hanoi and your organisation. She took me to all of the places that I had hoped to see and more, enjoying an authentic lunch and a few beers too !!! I would personally recommend her services to anyone. Thanks once again Hang !!!History with Hang.

We had a great time with Hang! It was an unique experience. Hang is very friendly and chat-able ;) even though we didn't manage to catch a fish, the experience was great and my 3yrs old daughter enjoyed herself alot and we definitely got instagrammable photos at the place! Lastly, the "fried corn" is a winner 😂Lovely fishing experience!

We spent our last couple of hours in Hanoi with Hang around the West Lake and then she took us to an amazing flower garden. She customised our tour on the fly which made it very personal. Nice way to spend last hours in Hanoi

Hang took us to see the West Lake and the pagoda. She was nice enough to give us time to chill at the cafe to give more time for my toddler to sleep before we started the tour. We truly enjoyed our time with her. She wasn’t only a tour guide but the thing I liked most was her giving me a lot of recommendations on how to go around Hanoi and which places to go. Even after the tour, we still keep in touch and she is very kind enough to get back to me whenever I have a question. Paddling at the Lake

Hang and her son were awesome in hosting a short fishing trip with me and a friend. They managed to make the trip worthwhile despite a hiccup in the venue. If you are in Hanoi and want to get out for a bit to rest from the city life, book this now! Awesome break from city grind

When I first saw the description of the tour, I knew it was going to be different than the usual tours you find on trip advisor. It turned out to be just as I thought. Hang picked me up at the hotel and we proceeded to a quiet set of ponds to spend a half day fishing. From baiting a Bamboo pole with chicken heart bait, to enjoying an excellent lunch consisting of fried chicken, and snakehead fish, local spices, and vegetables. All of this under a thatch roofed hut, adjacent to the water, with a few beers and local rice wine to bring it all together. I enjoyed our chat, which offered some thoughts on the local way of life, history, and culture. To top it off, we caught a good size fish. If you want to get away from the tour crowds, meet a friendly local, and relax with a bamboo pole in your hand, this is the uniquely perfect half day in Hanoi. A very fun and unique day in Hanoi
