5.00Our Hanoi city tour with guide Johnny was excellent. He contacted us in advance to confirm pickup details. The tour began on time, with a comfortable car and a skilled driver for a smooth ride. Throughout the trip, Johnny shared his knowledge of the history, highlights, and insights of each site we visited. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hanoi who wants to learn about its historic sites from an expert guide.
An Unforgettable Journey Through Hanoi with the Exceptional Johnny Nguyen

5.00Our Hanoi City Tour with Johnny Nguyen was absolutely fantastic—easily one of the highlights of our trip! From start to finish, everything was incredibly well organized, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the experience without worrying about logistics. Johnny is an exceptional guide—his knowledge of Hanoi’s history, culture, and hidden gems is truly impressive. What stood out most was how clearly and engagingly he communicated; he brought every site to life with stories and insights that you simply wouldn’t get exploring on your own. We visited a great mix of iconic landmarks and local spots, but the train street experience was especially unforgettable. Watching the train pass through such a narrow, lively street while soaking in the atmosphere was something I’ll never forget. Johnny’s passion for what he does really shines through, and his friendly, approachable nature made the whole day even more enjoyable. If you’re visiting Hanoi, I can’t recommend this tour—and Johnny—highly enough!

It was a delightful afternoon and we highly recommend it.

5.00Spent our last day in Vietnam with Johnny on a tour of Hanoi and it was incredible! Johnny was amazing and made the experience perfect. I learnt so much about Hanoi through train street, the Temple of Literature and Ho Chi Minh’s residence. Next time we come back to Hanoi we will definitely book with these guys again!

5.00We booked this tour very last minute but they couldn’t have been more accommodating. From the moment we made contact, Freddy was super helpful organising everything. Anni our host spoke excellent English and her knowledge of the Vietnamese culture and history was amazing. We found her to be very charismatic and funny. She even arranged a reservation for us at a cafe in train street later that evening which was not part of the itinerary. Amazing value for money!
Great guide and tour!

5.00We had a fantastic time with our guide, Johnny. Our group was a party of 7 including 4 year old twins and a 6 year old. We visited many notable attractions and also had time to stop for ice cream and later, delicious coffee at the cutest coffee shop. Johnny was informative and very accommodating with small children. We would highly recommend!
