5.00Any enjoyable day out guided by polite and competent Phuc. He was present on time at the hotel to pick us up. The car was clean and comfortable. Phuc patiently explained the history behind all monuments and answered our questions. He knew all the best spots to take memorable pictures and obliged us to have couple pictures taken. Highly recommended way of seeing the highlights of the city.

5.00We enjoyed a wonderful tour of Hanoi, visiting Tran Quoc Pagoda, Long Bien Bridge, Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, Temple of Literature, Train St and the markets. Our guide, Phuc, was lovely. He knew the best places for photos, recommended great restaurants for Banh mi and Pho, and was able to adjust our itinerary based on what we had already visited the day prior.
