Winnee was such a great guide! My first time in Hanoi and it was fun to learn from a local. Winnee went out of her way to keep me safe as we crossed the street. I enjoyed my conversations with her, taking pictures, and not getting run over by traffic😂 Thank you Winnee

A must to discover the sights of the city but also unusual places where many places students like to go. It is a dynamic and culturally rich friendly human adventure. I recommend! Another way to visit Hanoi and meet the Vietnamese

The POR Hanoi tour I liked a lot. We visited the old town, temples, the Mausoleum DE Ho Chi Minh and tasted some local drinks. The city ES very alive, full DE motorcycles, markets and culture. The guides were friendly and explained everything well. Highly recommended to get to know the culture in general DE Vietnam and in depth the history DE Hanoi.
