3.00Able to see many sites in a four hour window. Transportation was comfortable. Guide was average (and the guide can make or break the experience). This half day tour was more expensive than our full day Ninh Binh tour.

5.00I had an incredible day exploring Hanoi with Kai and his driver. From start to finish, the experience was seamless and well-organised. Kai was incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s history, culture, and key landmarks, which added so much depth to each stop on the tour. All attraction tickets were included, making the whole day hassle-free. I also really appreciated the door-to-door service — it made things so convenient and comfortable. If you’re looking for a personalised and insightful tour of Hanoi, I can’t recommend Kai enough!
Great overall tour of Hanoi, the people and culture of Vietnam
