Belinda W, Aug 2017

A little disappointing. Our guide was more interested in checking her phone and talking to the driver. Only found out as we did the tour that Ho Chi Minhs mausoleum is closed on Fridays, would have been good to have found that out earlier. Took us to shops to look at things we weren't really interested in, we got the impression the shop was owned by her friend. We were hoping for a tour of Hanoi, to learn about the city, not shop

Steven P, May 2017

The tour was fine, but we were told to confirm the booking and advise the pickup hotel location 24 hours before the tour - but the tour provider was closed over the weekend - somewhat inconvenient for an 8AM Monday tour! Viator was useless in locating the tour provider, in the end our hotel was able to find an after hours number and sorted everything out on our behalf - credit to VinPearl, they were fantastic!

Ryan M, Mar 2016

A great tour that hit all the highlights we wanted to see in Hanoi even on the day before Tet, when many tours were not operating!. Our guide, Vanessa, was absolutely fantastic -- she made the experience personal, fun, informative, and she shared beautiful photos taken during the tour. Highly recommended!
