Great tour - driven all over the city to see the most wonderful things and the Hanoi way of life. Given a great lunch and then continued for a real full day! Recommended with Asianway Travel - our guide was Ky.

Thank you for Tom who was so knowledgeable about his beautiful country. The biggest impression for this tour was the Hoa Lo Prison and The Temple of Literature and National University. I was very moved and emotional at Hoa Lo Prison seeing all that was displayed there. One can feel what went on there.
I was also looking forward to the famous egg coffee. It was so good that I had 2 cups.
Tom, hands down, was a great tour guide. The best part was how he and Mr. Driver brought us around and made sure we were safe.

This tour was frustrating because the guide, Hero, was totally distracted the entire time. He was organizing two other tour groups on his phone the whole day and I felt like I was a second (third?) thought for the most part. He did get us into a VIP entrance at Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, which was a huge win and probably saved 45 minutes and I really appreciated that. And Hero took me to the place where Obama ate Bun Cha, which was delicious. I'm glad I visited the "Hanoi Hilton," but I was totally on my own as he was on the phone the whole time. Instead of going to the downed B-52, he wanted to go to the army museum, which turned out to mostly be closed for renovation. And the visit to the lake area was just one temple (which was definitely worth the visit). So, overall a mixed bag, but it probably would have been better with a more attentive guide.
(Note: I was handed a review sheet at the end of the tour to fill out on the spot and return to the guide. Obviously, I was not going to say anything negative - this is a dumb practice on the tour operator's part and is not going to earn them honest feedback).

Excellent, comprehensive tour that packs many key sites into about 6 hours. Travel from one site to another is comfortable. Our guide, Duc, was outstanding - knowledgeable, friendly, and easily understood.

We had already seen the pagodas and Ho Chi Min Mausoleum and we had already had a cyclo ride in Hue, so we went to the Women’s Museum and Fine Arts Museum instead. Both were excellent. We enjoyed the Temple of Literature and the lacquerware demonstration. We also visited the Hanoi Hilton. The lunch was mostly very good. The guide and driver were very accommodating.

This is the best way to experience Hanoi for non-Vietnamese speakers. Our private guide spoke excellent English, met us at our hotel with a nice air conditioned van and arranged for and took us to the tomb of Ho Chi Minh, walked us around some of the beautiful gardens and muséums and answered all of our questions in a very candid manner which we appreciated. We ended the tour with a tour of the old part of town in bicycle rickshaws which was alot of fun and a bit scary with the crazy traffic. We'd highly recommend taking this tour!
