History Tours in Hanoi

Loan is a very friendly guide. We had some changes to the program on our request and she was very flexible. Highlight for us was the Hanoi Hilton. Very impressive! Thanks Loan for all your information. At all new bookers: we highly recommend Loan as your guide.

We had a fantastic experience with Lien in July 2025 on this walking tour of the Old and French Quarters. We are a family of 4 from UK with our children aged 16 and 20. Lien had a huge wealth of knowledge to share and she was so easy to be around and spoke great English. Taking us to places we never could have found on our own we started at Dong Xuan market. The wet market was quite an experience and be warned it is not for the faint hearted or if you are vegetarian or would be very upset about low animal welfare but still an interesting delve into local culture. Temple visits were outstanding and we were fortunate enough to witness a ceremony at a community temple tucked down an alleyway - we were made very welcomed to observe and take photos/videos and one of the Buddhist Mediums took time to speak with our family. Sampled amazing coffee in a boutique coffee shop which was tucked away. Finishing the tour at Hoa Lo prison - definitely worth a visit and important to understand and show respect for the atrocities suffered by Vietnamese people by different colonialists and also in regards to the American War. Highly recommend a trip with Lien.

Trang Chu was very knowledgeable about the history of Vietnam and very friendly. We really enjoyed our evening walk - and were given lots of local eating tips

Loan give us a perfect impression of Hanoi in just a few hours. My friend (first timer in Vietnam) and myself (a regular) both enjoyed her professional tour done in a super friendly way. Loan also gave us the opportunity to ask her loads of questions about culture, daily life and all that came to mind. It was like a friend proudly showed her city to us. I can recommend Loan to an traveller to Hanoi!
