Best Custom Tour for the Price - Annie was amazing. She was so accommodating and friendly! The tour was customized. My favorite part was that she brought me to a hidden coffee shop that turned out to be where I got the best robusta beans ever.

A little bit of the maze that Hanoi is! - What a beautiful way to experience Hanoi! The tour guides were amazing, well informed and oh so kind (lost my travel buddies and they came with to find her). The tour tells you a little about everything in Hanoi and you get to see what a maze and how amazing the city is!

I would definitely recommend

Discovering Hanoi with two great guides. - Both guides had a great knowledge of Hanoi, its history and heritage, and had an excellent capacity to translate this into our language, which is English. We had a great time discovering Hanoi and were very flexible to our needs. It’s great value for money.

Knowledge, understanding and motivation - We found the tour offer last night and were off this morning with Thai and his colleague Khay on a wonderful 6-hour trip through the French Quarter and the Old Town Center of Hanoi. Thai, a student of international law and Khay, student of tourism management, proved to enormously knowledgeable of the history and culture of their home town and people. It was a great joy for my wife and me to spend the day with them.
