Fantastic food tour with a lot of fun
We had a lot of fun during our tour with Lien. She contacted us a few days before we actually met and changed the tour a bit to match our requirements. The chosen locations and dishes exactly matched, what we had expected from a street food tour.
The dishes were very tasty and for sure we did not return hungry to our hotel. As well her recommendation for an egg-coffee cafe, which she had left out intentionally because of the time of the day, turned out to be a perfect choice. In addition with all the explanations she gave us during the tour, we got a perfect impression about Hanoi's street food.

A great tour guide
Loan made a real effort to show me the artistic highlights of Hanoi. We had a great afternoon together. She even made other suggestions of places for me to see later. I highly recommend her.

Ngoc was a great guide
Ngoc was a great guide. I had been in Hanoi for a week and worked very hard to see everything. Ngoc tailored the trip specifically to where I had been. She is an experience guide and showed me spots I wouldn't have found on my own with great history about the city. I highly recommend taking a tour with her.

Interesting and fun
Trang was a delightful tour guide who showed us all around the Old Quarter of Hanoi. She knew the history and the customs and took us to some of her favourite eateries and cafes which we would never have tried or even found on our own. She was thoroughly engaging and certainly knew her stuff. 10 out of 10 for Trang
