Great introduction by a friendly guide

Really enjoyed our brief tour with our guide Luna today. It was great to have a local person’s perspective on the experience of living in this old-but-young country. The introduction to several sites in the area provided a nice orientation. And the photos which were shared afterward were an added bonus (in addition to the water and fans).

The tour really enjoyed it. Even though the other tourists didn't come because of the rain, it wasn't cancelled and was held individually for me. They gave me a lot of gifts, I felt incredibly cared for the whole tour. I had a great time with the Gam guide. She's a wonderful girl and a professional. I recommend a travel agency, next time I will definitely contact about other excursions.
Lovely short but informative tour

Had a lovely short tour with Luna, very friendly, bubbly and chatty. She toon us around some of the must see places and gave us some of the history as well as local cultural context, and answered all of our questions. Although the tour was short it was very informative and I have revisited the spots that she showed us for more time since! Free water and fan was provided (that we got to keep). Had a lovely time, and she’s a great singer!
Best trip ever!!!

I didn’t expect this tour to hit me so hard emotionally. Visiting all the highlights and hearing about the culture was truly amazing. Our guide - Tam had such a deep knowledge of the history, but also a genuine passion that brought everything to life. We learned so much about Vietnam’s history and culture. The small group size also made the tour feel very personalized. A must-do for anyone visiting Hanoi for the first time!
