Linh was a sensational guide, who not only ensured we experienced some amazing food, but he was also a font of information about the city as a whole. We were looking to 'eat like a local' and with the exception of 'The Obama' (which is we ate a number of local delicacies that we'd have ordinarily walked straight past, but he ensured we were fortunate enough to discover. Thank you Linh, we had a wondrous and delicious tour of discovery with you, and experienced a view of the city we would never have thought to try. For all those reading I can't recommend Linh enough.

Our guide Lyna was a calm young lady with very good English and profound knowledge not only in Vietnamese food but also local history and folklore which expanded from past centuries to contemporary times. Discreet and polite Lyna helped us navigate through the busy Hanoi Old Quarter , temples and Train street. Accurate and timely pick up from the hotel and friendly unforgettable experience.
