5.00Our tour was quite informative and lovely, led by our guide Johnny, we were kept informed and energized throughout the tour with his friendly energy. Also we had the perfect amount of stops and getting on and off of the vehicle to not over exert and tire ourselves out in this heat. He was a great tour guide would highly recommend him! And the tour was great, loved seeing the train street.

5.00Hai was our tour guide. I was part of his morning tour where we visited multiple sites such as Train Street and the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum. We ended the tour with some refreshing iced coffee. I recommend and appreciate Hai as a tour guide as he gave us historical and personal insights on not just Hanoi but Vietnam overall.
Easy way to see highlights
