Great one day private war tour - Very insightful and informative tour. Tour guides fexible and happy to take you to whatever attraction you would like to visit. They also organised taxi transport to each destination. Took away the stress of trying to get to places by ourselves.

A Great Knowledgable Experience - Just had a great tour experience with Ha' and Lily who contacted us the night before to confirm time and location of meeting Both were great company full of local knowledge and also very knowledgable when we visited Hoa Lo Prison and the Ho Chi Minh Museum where we saw the changing of the guards. Both ladies were very chatty and spoke great English and gave us some tips of where to eat later I would highly recommend them both for a great tour of Hanoi

Great war sites tour - Had the War Sites tour with Tai on a Monday. Knowledgeable and explained the various exhibits with accompanying history and folklore. Was also given time to have a look around myself after he finished his explanations. I'd recommend paying attention to what day you're signing up for as it turns out most museums are closed Monday and/or Friday, the tour goes to different destinations depending on the day of the week.

Like a friend from Vietnam was touring me around. - Even tough I messaged them the afternoon before the tour, they were still able to accomodate me. Tai was great. Polite, friendly and patient and will give a lot of information. We were able to chat along the way too. Just remember that this is a free tour and all of then are volunteers so make sure to bring cash for the rides and tickets, and give tip when you can. Very worth it if you want a laid back fun tour. :)

Enriching journey to the Military History Museum and Hoa Lo Prison - Our guides Tai and Tai are very friendly and knowledgeable. We went to the Vietnam Military History Museum and the Hoa Lo Prison to learn more about the various wars that Vietnam went through and left with an appreciation of how resilient the Vietnamese people are.

Hanoi war sites tour - Great private tour. 2 guides and just the two of us on this tour. Saw the Ho Chi Minh museum. The remains of the B52 in the small lake. The B52 museum and the Hanoi Hilton prison or Hoa Lo Prison. The guides were very knowledgeable and ensured we saw what we wanted to see It’s too far to walk so we used a couple of cheap Grab taxis to get around. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour although the subject matter is still sobering
