Great Tour in Hanoi

5.00Very good city tour with Tour Guide Johnny! He explains all the details and background knowledge while visiting the different stops as well as getting very fast into the sights, showing the best photo points, organizing some drinks, and at the same time you learn about the culture, history and people. Even if it rains, he was prepared with rain cover for everybody. Thank you Johnny!
Excellent Hanoi sightseeing

5.00Tour guided by Johnny: Very interesting tour and keeping promises from the description (fees and drinks included, rain cover provided) Johnny as guide was very friendly, providing many interesting information and creating a good atmosphere. Train street for me as a highlight, absolutely impressive when train passes. Well timed course, maybe a bit short for those who want to dig deeper.
Excellent tour of Han Oi with great tour guide

5.00We took our 85 year old father on this family tour. It was perfect. We had a great mix of information, saw interesting sights, and had an excellent driver and limousine minibus. Our guide, Ryley, was absolutely amazing. She answered all our questions, was friendly and really lovely to deal with. The walking was manageable for our father. Would highly recommend this tour if in Hanoi.

5.00We had a great time with Tuna and C. It was lots of fun driving around Hanoi in a military style jeep, seeing all the major areas. Tuna shared a lot of information on the sites. He was also very funny. The food at the end of the sight seeing and cultural tour was also very delicious. Highly recommend! Thanks so much Tuna!
