Brilliant tour, highly recommended with lovely guide and driver - Our tour of Hanoi with Sandy was brilliant. We were able to customise it to include things we wanted to see, and the private car transfers made the whole experience very comfortable and easy. I would strongly recommend taking this tour whether you have limited time in Hanoi (like we did) or you have more flexibility in your schedule. Our guide, Sandy, was delightful and very knowledgable and made some great recommendations for us to follow up on.

Best Hanoi City Guide - We had the best time with jenny on our trip around Hanoi. She was informative, personalising the tour based on what we wanted and very welcoming to us. We got to see lots of interesting places in the city such as the first university, the prison and other spots like the train street. Jenny was incredibly knowledgeable and easy to have as a tour guide and made the experience brilliant. Could not recommend enough.

Get to see what you want to see - Dee was extremely good. Asked in advance where we wanted to go and was happy to skip things we had already see . Spent as long as we wanted at each location. Good knowledge. Gave the right amount of information without overdoing it. Even found a really nice ice cream place for the kids at the end!

Amazing half day Hanoi Tour - Our tour guide Sandy met us in our hotel lobby on time. She was very friendly and ran through the itinerary for the tour. We went to St Joseph Cathedral, Train Street, the Pagoda and temple near Hoan Kiem Lake and Hoa Lo Prison. We were given detailed information which was fascinating to learn about. As it was a Saturday, some places like the HCM mausoleum were closed. But this meant we were able to take our time at other places. As our hotel is close to Train Street, Sandy took us to another train street which was also nice to see an alternative. A drink per person was included. We were dropped off in the old quarter at the end of the tour as we wanted to have lunch at Banh Mi 25. Sandy was so kind that she even helped us jump the queue to order, helped us grab a table and waited with us. We really appreciated the private tour and the respite of the air conditioned car. We would definitely recommend this tour!

Must do in Hanoi - Jenny was an amazing tour guide and very knowledgeable about the history of Vietnam and gave valuable tips for our time in the country. She communicates well and was very friendly. We learned so much during our short time with her. The tour was private so they were able to tailor to what we wanted to see. Highly recommend going on this tour!
