Excellent !! Our tour guide Phuc was very warm,, caring , knowledgable and a great guy. We had a wonderful time with him. Best was, he gave us the immense knowledge in depth about Pagodas although we are quite familiar with Buddhism. Visiting all other sites was also very comfortable ! 👍👍 for Phuc ! Keep it up ! Good luck 🌺🌺

Had a fantastic tour. Phuc was so friendly and informative, and willing to adjust the morning’s itinerary according to our wishes. Because we asked, he took us for egg coffee and to Banh Mi 25. Phenomenal!

Phuc was a really great guide - lots of good information and ideas about where to visit. He got us safely across the roads too. We would definitely recommend if you want to see the best of Hanoi in a few hours. The driver was also excellent.

Phuc was very informative. We learnt about the history of Hanoi, from ancient history through to the French and then the American war. Very interesting
