5.00We had a lovely morning with our guide Max who showed us so many interesting sights in Hanoi including the Tran Quoc Pagoda, St Joseph’s Church and of course the train street where I enjoyed my first egg coffee! Max was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. A shout out to our driver too who was excellent. Highly recommend.
Brilliant start to our Vietnamese trip.

5.00Jenny Tran was our tour guide. Her use of the English language is impeccable, and she is very friendly. The driver was also very prompt and drive safely despite all of the chaotic traffic in Hanoi. Jenny went out of her way to make sure that my husband and I enjoyed this tour. Her fund of knowledge is outstanding. She even volunteered to assist us in our efforts in exchanging currency and in negotiations at the Wholesale Market. I appreciate her insight into everyday living and local experiences in Cambodia. The Temple and Train Street tours were AWESOME.
