Bustling Hanoi

Carole_C, Feb 2026

Mr Thomas, our guide, took us through amazing experiences in Hanoi. We got to ride in a pedi cab, experience the train drive-through town, inches from us, while we had coffee as well as the sites and fabulous food in this city. Wonderful memories!!

Our guide in Hanoi was friendly and helpful; I use a mobility scooter so accessibility is very important to me!! The lunch was truly a delight and we got to try lots of things we might not have otherwise. We would recommend!

Don’t bother with Hanoi go to Halong bay instead for 2 days

David_T, Mar 2025

Long journey from where the cruise ship docked and not much to see when you get there I should have spent the 2 days in Halong bay. The Guild was very helpful and made the trip worthwhile. However if considering a trip to Hanoi reconsider. The only thing we enjoyed was Train street .

Response from Host, May 2025

Dear Mr. David, We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience in Hanoi didn’t meet your expectations. We understand that Hanoi can be a bit overwhelming when you’re short on time, and we completely respect your decision to prefer the natural beauty and tranquility of Halong Bay. However, we’re happy to hear that the guide was able to make the trip worthwhile, and we’ll certainly take your feedback into account as we continue to improve our tours. Hanoi has its own unique charm, but we do understand that it’s not for everyone. We hope that your Halong Bay experience was much more in line with what you were looking for, and we do appreciate your honest feedback. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. We are hoping to see you come back to VIetnam in the future 🤍
