History of Hanoi with Vân

Ronald_K, Jul 2025

This was an amazing experience. Unfortunately I was the only person who booked this tour today but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. I had an incredible experience. Van was the most amazing tour guide I’ve ever had. She is incredibly knowledgeable about all of the locations listed on this tour. Since I was there only client I had her undivided attention. I learned so much more about Hanoi than I ever thought possible. She is very thorough, very friendly and very professional. I highly recommend taking this tour with her and any of the other tours that she does. I know that the next time that I come to Hanoi I will only look to book my tours with her. I want to thank her for one hell of an education today. I left the tour having been enlightened and edified with the rich history of Hanoi from Van, a proud, true historian of her Vietnamese culture. I can’t say enough great things about the history lesson that she provided me with today. I will definitely be looking for any of your tours on my next visit to Hanoi.
