Best option to see Hanoi - I chose this tour because it was advertised as being available in all languages. We booked it in Spanish, and to our surprise, the guide spoke it perfectly. I suppose that’s not very common in Vietnam. In addition, his professionalism and knowledge allowed us to enjoy the tour immensely. The night before, he was already messaging us to remind us and suggested we leave half an hour earlier to avoid long lines at the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum. It was a very wise suggestion.
We are older adults, and our guide Luis (I believe his real Vietnamese name is Thuy, but I’m not sure) made the tour very adaptable to our needs, and we always felt very safe with him. I absolutely recommend this tour. Hanoi is definitely worth an 8-hour visit.

What an excellent day! - Our group arranged for a Spanish-speaking guide, and we were thoroughly impressed. Tom, our guide, was knowledgeable, fluent in Spanish, and made our day delightful. We highly recommend Mr. Tom to anyone visiting Hanoi and seeking a Spanish-speaking guide!

An interesting experience in Hanoi - It was an amazing experience in Hanoi. Our guide Harry did an excellent job; he had extensive knowledge about the attractions in Hanoi and explained all our questions in a clear and humorous manner. The itinerary was very well-organized, making us feel comfortable and not bored. Harry also took us to experience a variety of Hanoi's specialty foods. Honestly, if we had to find these authentic places on our own online, it would have been very challenging. Both my spouse and I particularly enjoyed the egg coffee; it was truly delicious and unique. Thank you, Harry. We greatly appreciate this trip.

It was a great experience. - Nguon is our guide when we travel to Hanoi. He took us to many gourmet locations that were hard to find ourselves. Not only does he have a great knowledge of local cuisine, he also shares a lot of cultural knowledge that enriches the whole experience. His friendly attitude made us feel very welcome and comfortable throughout our journey. It was an unforgettable experience!

Very Historical Tour. - The tour included some very historical sites in the city. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of each of the sites, but left out stops that were supposed to be part of the tour. There is more walking than expected, but there were no hills so it wasn’t too hard.

Terrible. - Considering the price I have to say that I had greater expectations. I expect a professional firm and a guide with a name sign and the company's clothes. It is after all this one pays for, a “luxury experience). Well, it wasn't. We paid almost $500 for a family (2 adults and 2 children), and little of the experience was especially VIP. We have done similar private guide around the world and in Vietnam, but this seemed very simple.
Not least that the guide has a slightly nuanced picture of the presentation of the story. The guide portrays the attractions with historical errors, and sincerely believes in propaganda from a communist regime.
In a tour like this we spent half the day at the Ho Chi Minh Mosquito, and the description in the program is misleading. Just take a closer look, it is divided up in such a way that it looks like you are at different attractions but in reality you are on the mosquito 70% of the time.
That the guide has a tunnel view of his own perception of historical facts, I think is under any criticism. Those engaged in tourism in the rest of the class should have nuanced communications of events and historical facts.
Something that also draws the experience very down is that at several points during the trip there were people who filmed and took pictures of you while they apparently “talked” on the phone. Or that they pretended to be filming attractions to randomly turn around to film you. This was very unpleasant, and the guide had no explanation for this strange phenomenon. This was very unpleasant and must be a form of fraud. There's nothing else I can't understand.
If you want to have a private trip, avoid this. That find more.
