Take a walk off the beaten track, away from the tourist crowds, and see the real side of Hanoi. On this private tour, go beyond the classic route and explore Nghia Tan where you’ll experience a different Hanoi, like a local with a local by your side!
Spend a fun day at Hanoi's west lake where you and your family will enjoy local activities, a visit to a pagoda and a cool ride in a pedalo boat. The kids will also love the sweet treat at the end: the most delicious ice cream in the area! This is the perfect family day you'll have in Hanoi!
Take a break and relax while fishing at a truly local spot! Join me as you escape from the city to chill by the lake where the locals go fishing. Drinks, local food, good vibes and tons of laughs are all part of this incredible experience!
Discover the influence of the west through out Hanoi from the back of a motorbike. Visit the French Quarter and some of the best historic spots of the city. Try the food left over by the French as well as some awesome local Vietnamese food. Learn how these two cultures collide in Hanoi with a local!
Enjoy this half day experience wich includes a visit to a local market & a cooking class together with me. Let's visit my local village & take a look
at Vietnamese farmers while they are working. Are you ready for a hands-on experience?
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!

A very valuable tour for our family
Thanks Ruby, we had such a great time walking around Nghĩa Trân with you. Otherwise we wouldn’t have ventured far out of the Old Quarter but it was so worthwhile walking around the streets, market and pagoda with you - thank you! Wishing all the best to you and your family.

Great morning meeting locals
We had a wonderful time with Ruby. She was very knowledgeable and took us around an area of Hanoi that you wouldn’t normally see, and introduced us to some of the local people.

Great experience
Trang was great! She was very accommodating with a few last minute schedule changes, and she helped me buy some flowers to bring to a local dinner after. On top of that she took us to part of Hanoi we wouldn’t have gone to otherwise, and shared some great local knowledge and tips. We really enjoyed our time with her and would definitely recommend booking with her if you can!

Book Ngoc Ruby!
We did a food tour with Ruby that was spectacular! Ruby is knowledgeable, friendly and funny. She took us around to local places (very little tourists) to sample the delicious cuisine. What fun! Don’t hesitate…book Ngoc Ruby now…you won’t regret it.

Such an intetesting tour!
We really enjoyed the tour with Trang, she took us to places that were off the beaten track and we would not have found on our own. We had great conversation about life in Hanoi, Trang’s knowledge of history is great!
Thank you!

Great truely local experience
This trip is great if you want to step outside of Hanoi and experience the culture and food of a more rural Vietnam. The farms and market were very interesting to see, Manh was kind, and an amazing chef!

Perfect
It was a very nice tour, very relaxed, no stress. We got a good idea how people live in Vietnam and were very glad to be invited in her house, where we had lunch.
Thanks again.
