5.00Our guide, Raian arrived at our hotel right on time. He spoke very good English and was very knowledgeable about the history and culture in Hanoi and Vietnam. It was great to taste some traditional egg coffee in a cafe run by the fourth generation of the same family. Our stay in Hanoi was made easier after Raian taught us how to cross the street safely!
