Best tour guide in all of Vietnam
Ruby is simply amazing! She knows Hanoi in and out, she is very friendly, perfect english skills, very good energy! But what i liked most was her kindness, she always pays attention to your needs, she explains everything you need to know in order to better understand Vietnam's Capital city. Totally recommended, 10/10 :) Thank you so much, Ruby! Keep up the good work.

Great walk to see daily life
Our walk with Trang was very informative and relaxing. We got to see daily life of people in Hanoi, markets, back streets, buildings. Trang was very kind and easy going. Definitely worth doing for someone interested in learning about the daily life and not purely touristic attractions. Thank you Trang!

Off the beaten track tour with lovely Lien
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.
