Echo all reviews - great overview
Did the private tour with my husband and it was great. I think the private tour provided more opportunities to ask lots of questions on how the past impacts the present and get a good first person perspective of how the youth of Vietnam (Gen Z) view society, religion, government, education, etc. versus older generations. No brainer if you’re new to Ha Noi or Vietnam and especially if you’re staying in the French quarter. We went in mid October and it was still so HOT at 95-100F real feel with humidity. Locals said it was unseasonably warm. Prepare accordingly.

Walking tour with Hanoi Free Tour Guide.
I researched the Hanoi Free Tour Guide on Google for my trip to Hanoi.
Since I thought the main reason of educational exchange and getting to know the country and the locals was great anyway, I submitted a tour request via their website.
I received a response and was also told the general terms and conditions, especially what is included and what requires extra payments.
My tour guide was Ethan.
He picked me up directly from the hotel and we discussed the tour individually. The day was also very hot and the highlight was the visit to Hasai Coffee.🫶🏻
All in all, it was very worth it for me and I can recommend it to every Hanoi visitor. 👍🏻

Great guide, great time
We needed a custom itinerary because we were at the end of our trip. So, private in a car. Our guide, Lan , was amazing. High energy, very knowledgeable and had a great delivery. She flexed for us due to mobility challenges, too. I absolutely recommend private car tour with LAN!!! This was our last activity, booked on a whim at the last moment and LAN made it work for us in the time we had. Oh, yeah, she made us reservations for Train Street so we didn’t have to rush there either. Book with LAN!

Highly recommended tour.
Great tour! Very good experience. Easy to contact. They sent very clear instructions ahead of the tour. Inclusion of coffee/ drinks at the right time of the itinerary was great.
Hiu - our tour guide - was fantastic! Very knowledgeable, friendly, engaging, and easy to communicate with. He made the trip very enjoyable.
Highly recommend him and the overall tour!

Hanoi in a day
Tu was great, very passionate about his country. He was friendly and really helpful. The lunch was tasty. I think we missed the Opera house and train street (though we did drive past it). Overall a good way to really see the city and key points of interest. Tiring but worth it.

Fantastic Hanoi Tour with Peter
Fantastic Hanoi Tour with Peter
We had a great experience exploring Hanoi with our guide, Peter. He was knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and made the entire day easy and enjoyable. He did a great job explaining the history and culture behind the places we visited while still keeping the experience relaxed and fun.
We especially appreciated how smoothly everything was organized and how comfortable we felt throughout the tour. Peter was also great about helping us experience Hanoi beyond simply checking attractions off a list.
If you’re visiting Hanoi, I definitely recommend asking for Peter as your guide and his trusted driver. He helped make our time in Vietnam memorable, and we would absolutely book with him again.

Very Helpful Driver!
The driver was very helpful and friendly. My partner left his wallet in the car, and what could have been a very stressful time was handled quickly and without panic. We messaged via Whatsapp and his wallet was returned within 10 minutes!
The car itself was fairly run-down, with several seatbelts not working. But it was on time, the driver was safe on the road, and we arrived safely at our hotel.

Memorable day on Ha Long Bay
A great day-trip from Hanoi (total excision was ~9 hours). Boating through Ha Long Bay was beautiful & opportunities to explore caves on foot and by small craft was also fun. An ample lunch served on the boat paired with an excellent and professional guide (Johnny) throughout the day made this private tour a good value. As a bonus we stopped at a pearl factory on the way out which was also quite fun!

The young male guide's lack of understanding of English and caring...
The young male guide's lack of understanding of English and thoughtfulness allowed me to tour the sights of the city. We also went on a full day tour of Ha Long Bay, but if we knew, we should have gone on a full day tour of the city without going to the crowded bay, which is just far away and uncaring.

10/10 would recommend
We did the tour of the ceramic village with the guides and driver Tuna and Snow. Was fantastic, my mom and I loved it. Was nice to get out of central Hanoi, esp the old quarter and get some more insight on other facets of Vietnamese industries. Got to see both modern ceramic production (stunning stuff) and an ancient set up. Both tuna and snow spoke fantastic English and were good drivers. Super open, knowledgeable and happy to answer all our questions. Thank you so much again - was a highlight so far

Day 1 Sapa review
Day 1 review -
The journey time was gruelling over 250km of road (5-6 hours).
Once there the views were spectacular & quiet, scenic tracks in the country. Su (our guide) accommodated the group's needs and pointed out to us the best photo points. Thank you Su for looking after the group!

Great experience!
Highly recommended this tour! Chip our tour guide was super excited and showed us her personal favorite street food spots in the city. We never would have eaten ourselves because you don't know what you're getting and if it's okay. She also told us ins and outs about the dishes, food traditions and other typical Vietnamese customs, very nice to know more about this.
We have had delicious dishes and is definitely recommended if you are in Hanoi for the first time, so at least you know what to look for when looking for genuine Vietnamese food.
Thank you Chip for this very nice experience and good luck with everything you are going to do in the future!
Love Anne and John
