The tour was really well organized...

Lily Liu, Aug 2017

The tour was really well organized. Our tour guide Anh from Tourguide Hanoi was very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. He shared with us lot of information pertains to the Hanoi history pertains to the Temples we Visited. We departed from hotel at 8:30am and Anh even make effort to come to my hotel the day before our trip to left us a message of tour pick up time which is really helpful. We returned to hotel at 4:30pm which leave us enough time to explore the Old Quarter night market and walking street. We feel is it necessary to booked this tour as the traffic condition in Old Quarter was not really ideal for the coach/bus to move around and you can easily sit on the bus and wait for the driver to pick up all the participant which could need almost an hour. This will definitely delay your tour schedule. Overall, I will recommend anyone who come to Hanoi and want to exoplore Hoa Lu to this Tour.

Exactly what I wanted and it was a great trip. Our guide was WONDERFUL and had fun facts and so much knowledge of the area and history. He was just a fun all around! It was far from city but it was worth the trip. I would do it again in a heartbeat.
