I had a wonderful Hanoi private tour. We were picked up by the friendly guide and driver at our hotel. The car was so nice, and we were safe with the driver. The guide spoke good English, knowledgable, and took good care of us. We leant so much about Hanoi history and culture from him. The lunch was great as well!
