5.00It was an educational experience learning about Vietnamese culture and how the local people of Hanoi spend their time either work or leisure/relaxation. The food was delicious specially the Pho…the sand worm omelette street food is something that everyone should try it was actually good. We did walked quite a bit in the narrow but busy streets of Hanoi even if was really hot but was worth it. The highlight of the tour was the train street having a sip of coffee waiting for the passenger /freight train to pass by. And I shouldn’t forget the sticky rice with ice cream as our dessert I give it a thumbs up. James was really great with giving us the information about Hanoi and offered ideas about other Vietnam tourist areas to visit. Will highly recommend.

5.00I did not read the details properly and didn’t know that meal is not included. But the company was very flexible. They allowed us to change the pick up time so that we could have lunch first. They were flexible with the places to visit too. The guide is very well-informed and the driver was friendly too.
Great orientation to Hanoi and Vietnamese history

5.00From the basic sites and sounds of Hanoi to visits to the Hanoi Hilton and Train Street, this tour is highly recommended. Our guide, Sandy, had extensive knowledge of the city and the country and educated us from the time she picked us up at our hotel until she left us after several hours. This tour is highly recommended for first time visitors to Hanoi.

5.00Great tour to get the highlights of the city. My favorite stop and the stop I was most looking forward to was train street. Chung was a great tour guide and he did a wonderful job capturing pictures of me, for me. I would highly recommend this tour to get an overview of Hanoi.
