5.00Max was our guide for our private city tour of Hanoi. He arrived early even though we booked at the last minute. The tour was both wonderful and extremely emotive. So much was covered and more so than the general city tours and Max was full of information for us. He was extremely accommodating in stopping, waiting and taking us to additional stops. When we wanted to move from our train street cafe seating he was quick to find alternatives. Great tour with a great tour guide.
