Me and my partner went on a morning tour with Louisa to the Ho Chi Minh Complex and Temple of Literature. She was very knowledgeable and shared plenty of local customs which you wouldn't find out if you went there by yourself. I can really recommend.

It was an awesome experience. We organized an early morning walking tour to see the flag rising on a very short notice and couldn’t be happier with our guide Nhung, the insights and the opportunity to understand and learn about the local culture and customs as well as the history of Vietnam. In total, the tour was about 3 hours. I would join a free tour with this organization again when I am revisiting Hanoi. The concept of having a guided tour to help locals to practice English is fantastic. It creates a win-win constellation.

Our guide Ms. Nhung made sure that whole walking tour went smoothly. She was very cheerful all through out the tour and gave the history and context of each building, monument and relic. She gave a useful insight into the daily lives of Vietnamese. I would highly recommend going on this tour.

Interesting tour around landmarks in the Old, the French and the Ba Dinh quarters. My guide, Ly, was full of energy and good vibes while making this street walk a very nice experience. Thank you!

We went on a private walking tour with tour guide Jenny today. The tour was great, we visited so many historical places, including the oldest building in Hanoi, Hoa Lo prison, a Cathedral and the first University in Hanoi. Jenny was full of information and gave us a great insight into Hanoi's history! The tour lasted from 9.30am until around 2pm. I would highly recommend this tour.

My city tour was by motorbike and was amazing! Great! My guide David was very educated and polite. He explained a lot about the history, we have fun taking photos too. We visited many places, it was everything great! Highly recommend it. The only thing we did quicker was the Ho Chi Minh museum because they were closing at that time, so we had just 15 mins but the guide from the museum Serena was very knowledgeable so she did a quick but very good route for the main milestones there. Places we visited were the Ho Chi Minh's Stilt House, the one Pilar Pagoda, Long Bien Bridge, we crossed the bridge over the Red River by motorbike, we visited the train street and having fun waiting for the train. Amazing experience! I highly recommend make your tour with this guides.
