Max was amazing, very knowledgeable and attentive. My advice is know what you want to see. Max was well organised and nothing was too much bother. Ontop of his local knowledge he went out of his way to help us shop for specific items and we were successful

We had a fantastic private tour—much less touristy than expected! Our guide, Tom, was incredibly friendly and flexible, tailoring the experience to our preferences. He was kind, knowledgeable, and went out of his way to ensure we had an unforgettable time. Beyond the tour itself, he even recommended excellent restaurants and helped us navigate the menus so we could enjoy the best local food in Hanoi. I would highly recommend this tour!

The train going through the city was amazing . You do have to find seats but I think our tour guide James had reserved us some seats or we were extremely lucky I wished he was abtti show us The Victory Museum when there was still light out. It was hard viewing the llanes, tanks, and missiles in the dark. The prison is also a must!
