We’re Nam, Van, Lisa, and Julia—the owners of Joyful Adventures, a group of young locals who speak English fluently, each holding a Professional Tour Guide Certificate. Having called Hanoi home for over twenty years, we have a deep love for this city and all its hidden gems.
Our goal is to explore the ancient 2,700-year history of the Vietnamese people, with their tradition of nation-building and defense, along with legendary stories that enrich the Vietnamese soul. To discover the everyday material life of the locals and the rich spiritual life reflected in ancestor worship, as well as the practices of visiting temples and pagodas among the Vietnamese. And to experience the fascinating blend of old Hanoi’s architecture, the mix of Eastern and Western cultures, and the fresh vibes of modern Hanoi.

5.00Lisa was a knowledgable and friendly local guide, showing me the highlights of the old quarter and the treasures it holds (especially the food). I experienced peach iced tea, Vietnamese donuts and custard apple, which were all amazing. The cherry on top was the bun cha restaurant she recommended to me at the end of the tour, which was my culinary highlight of Vietnam!
Great tour and the best tour guide

5.00Great tour in Hanoi’s Old Quarter. We walked through the narrow streets, visited temples, saw the old railway station, and also experienced Train Street when the train passed by. I learned a lot about the history and the area. Our guide Vân explained everything clearly and did a great job throughout the tour. Highly recommended
