Top Hanoi Walking Tours - page 2

Without much ideas of what to see/do on our first day in Hanoi, having a private and customised walking tour by a local is a great way to get to know the city. Our guide Vy, has good English skill and pleasantly showed us Hanoi landmarks to our interests. We were told the small booking fee (about US$5) was for a donation and we're to cover our guide's applicable entry fees and F&B expenses as she accompanies us plus optional tips. Overall, the tour was well worth it. Vy also gave good recommendations on money changing, shopping, and places for good food.

Before my trip, company reached out to confirmed my booking and provided me with contact number on day of arrival. On the day of, driver reached out to me promptly just before I landed in Hanoi. He provided me with directions on where to go once I’m cleared immigration and exit the airport with luggage. Pickup was quick and driver got me to my hotel in Old Quarter with no issue. He was helpful and courteous.

Our food guide was very friendly and chatty. We had him to ourselves so we could ask him lots of questions about the food but also about Hanoi and Vietnam. He was very open about his food choices and his life, and asked us all about ourselves too. He was very easy to get on with and clearly enjoyed showing us his favourite places to eat. He also ate with us which was great. His food choices were lovely....nothing too adventurous or out of the ordinary...just good food.

After much training with her colleagues, this was Kahn’s first solo with customers all by herself! It was OUR honor to be her first two customers! She was as nice as could be, spoke great English, and answered all of our questions and concerns from my wife and I. She took us to great local food venues which we enjoyed very much. Also spoke of her family life and what it is like growing up in Hanoi. Definitely we would recommend this tour for anyone and everyone of all ages. Thank you so much Kahn for a great time!! Also wanted you to know that we noticed you watching us intensely as we caught our taxi ride back to hotel, making sure we were safe. (We waved goodbye but you couldn’t see us through the tinted glass) Excellent job!

Absolutely worth the few dollars and an afternoon of time. Our guide Brandon had a helper today and they worked together to build confidence in each other's language skills and public speaking. They knew a lot about the history of Hanoi and helped us understand the basic customs expectations before we arrived. Communication was fantastic also. This is a MUST do when in Hanoi

Great experience. I booked this tour on day 1 to get an idea of the food and the city. The guide Pilko was exceptionally friendly and a great vibe. Can't believe he's only 19 and so talented. Really set a great tone for the rest of the trip. And don't worry the amount of food is right and doesn't make you uncomfortable also because you're walking from place to place. I had only 3 other people in the group so, that was good as well.

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!

Got taken on the half day tour by Walter and Rose and it was lovely! We got picked up at our hotel and driven to the 5-6 of the most popular spots in Ha Noi. Our tour guides were so friendly and joyful. They offered to cater the tour to how we wanted it, as in whether we wanted to go into certain museums and attractions or spend more time or not at one area over another. We learned a lot of history and fun facts, and they took so many great photos of us. They even treated us to some egg coffee and coconut coffee. Then when we asked for a lunch recommendation they even brought us to a popular spot and helped us order (since my Vietnamese is so bad haha). We loved our time and really felt like we knew the city much better. Highly recommend!
