She doesn’t just introduce you to incredible local food, she helped discover hidden gems you’d never try by yourself, she shares insights into Vietnamese culture and daily life. Her energy, knowledge, and warmth made this tour one of the highlights of our time in Hanoi. Come hungry and curious, you’ll leave full and inspired!

Bo — Friendly & down to earth guide - Bo was very accommodating, pushing the time back for me as I was weary upon my arrival in Hanoi. He was also a great conversationalist and humorous, at no point did I feel uncomfortable despite it being a 1-on-1 experience and I got to try lots of local specialties and learn a little about Hanoi as well. I would 100% recommend, what a great start to the trip! Thank you again, Bo. :)
