Andrew was a wonderful guide. We asked to see Hao Lo Prison (Hanoi Hilton) and Train Street. Andrew was very flexible with our schedule. We also got to see the B-52 museum, Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and St. Joseph’s cathedral. It was nice of him to contact us before the tour to ask what we wanted to see and what should be the primary focus. Andrew and the driver were great partners in this experience. If you have a limited amount of time, this is a great tour to see the highlights since it’s only 4 hours.
What a wonderful morning out and about with Oliver on this 4 hour tour. He was informative and interesting about the history of Vietnam but also the current day which we were interested in. Tour was smoothly run and a great introduction to the city. Highly recommended.
This is an amazing tour, a great way to see Hanoi. It shows all the best bits with wonderful local knowledge. We had Tu as our guide and I can’t recommend him enough, he was so knowledgeable, friendly, funny and made us feel welcome. Special mention also to the driver Mr V (ex military) who always found parking spots nearby and managed to negotiate the chaotic traffic in Hanoi City. If you only do one tour in Hanoi then do this one, as it was memorable, educational and fun to spend time with Tu
Was very good experience our guide Pietra was very knowledgeable and friendly as well as very accommodating.
Harley was great! Informative and took us around to wherever we asked to go. Would highly recommend this company and this tour!
The Hanoi excursion was both fascinating and interesting. The driver took us to several interesting places and culminated in an in-your-face view of the train. Harley was very knowledgeable in both past and present Hanoi and Vietnam, a very good guide. A highly recommended tour.
Our tour guide K and driver were great, taught us so much about the history of Hanoi and provided a lot of local tips!
The only reason only 4* and not 5, is that it was rushed and we did not have enough time to visit everything on the itinerary. In the future I’d hope the tour starts at 1pm and last 5-6 hours instead of 4 to ensure there’s time for everything g
We had an outstanding experience touring Hanoi with our guide, Walter. From the start, Walter was welcoming, friendly, and very easy to get along with. His depth of knowledge about the city's history and culture was impressive, and he was always flexible with our pace and requests.
Beyond the tour itself, Walter went above and beyond by providing us with some fantastic, off-the-beaten-path recommendations for local food spots and activities. His insights genuinely enhanced our entire trip. Highly recommended!"
This is a great tour visiting some main sites of Hanoi. Zach our tour guide was informative and his English was excellent. 4 hrs was enough to learn about some of Hanoi’s history and try some coffee and finish at train street for a nice cold drink to watch the train go by. Thanks Zack for a great afternoon.
Very informative tour. Well planned and executed. Kelvin is a thoughful, professional, well educated tour guide. One of the best in my 30yrs of foreign travel. Even if you have an extended stay, I highly reccomenf this 4 hr tour.
Leo was a very good guide and very informative.
His knowledge of the subjects was first class and we would recommend this tour
Harley was wonderful. You can see the pride he has in his country as he shares the history. He was able to keep myself and my 20 year old son engaged throughout the tour. I would highly recommend him!
A great half day tour with a fantastic guide.
Minh was our guide for the day and adapted the tour to suit the timings of the trip.

Our guide Levy was awesome. Very kind, knowledgeable, and obviously enjoying his job. The tour was well organized and we enjoyed our time. The train street was really cool.
The tour was amazing. Our tour guide, Levy, was the reason that everything was so special. He is so smart about the history as well as what’s happening today. He’s so special that I recommended that he write a book.
Paul was a very polite and well informed guide. Very safe taxi driver who drove to each destination.
Tyler was awesome! The train street was so cool. Loved all the historical information. We learned a lot on this trip.
This is a great introduction to Hanoi and some of its history. Teddy, our guide, was excellent. His English was superb and he was very knowledgeable on the sights that we visited and on the history of Hanoi. Highly recommended.
We had an amazing day. Nick, our guide, was quite simply brilliant. Fantastic English, very knowledgeable and totally engaging with a fantastic sense of humour. He even managed to make me look taller in a photo 🤣 We loved Train Street and the various Temples as always, were incredible. Definitely recommend
Bang was so keen on catering the tour to our interests. He was really fun to tour around Hanoi with and made us all feel like old friends. We had sooo many questions and he answered them all with patience and even taught us some words in vietnamese. After the tour, he took the extra time to help us to our lunch spot and to find the bank. I’d recommend this tour to all my friends and anyone who is really interested in getting to know the history and culture of Vietnam and who wants to have fun doing it!
Travis was excellent.
Very professional.

Leon was a great guide, full of energy and welll-versed when it came to talking about the sights and their back stories. Fun to be with and very knowledgeable. Highly recommended!
Excellent experience! Travis was the best guide we could have asked for, knowledgeable and friendly. He made this experience be amazing, showing his passion for his city and for his job. Travis deserves to be nominated as the best tour guide! I would only add the temple of litersature to this tour to make it extraordinary!
Train Street was fun! This tour included the Hanoi prison, but not some of the places we thought were included the temple of literature. Overall, we learned a lot and our guide and driver were very nice!
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Bruno! The stops were all very interesting and picturesque. We especially enjoyed going train street - a must do!
I highly recommend this tour and this company. Thanks, Bruno for a fantastic afternoon!
Amazing tour with Bob. It was marvellous day. He cared for us and he let us to see beautiful attractions. He is super expert, nice and even excellent photographer. Thanks to Bob, we had opportunity to see the train passing by train street and to be sitted with a coffe watching the train. Thank you Bob for this amazing Experience
I recently had a fantastic private city tour of Hanoi led by Travis, and chauffeured by Mr Vien. It was truly an unforgettable experience! Travis’s deep knowledge of the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems made the tour engaging and insightful from start to finish. Travis’s passion for Hanoi was evident, and his ability to weave fascinating stories into the tour kept us captivated throughout the half-day tour. He was also incredibly friendly, patient, and attentive to our needs, making sure we all had a great time. I can’t recommend Travis enough for anyone looking to explore Hanoi with a guide who brings the city to life in such a unique and enjoyable way!
This was an amazing tour, our guide Levy, history teacher, knew so much history, modern,ancient and cultural details which made for an awesome day. He took great care of us while travelling around. He was very polite and respectful. Great English speaking guide. Don’t hesitate, do this tour.
