My tour guide Nam (Nathan) is very accommodating and friendly. I learned a lot from him especially when he talked about the history.

I have used this company three times for each of my three days in Hanoi and I would thoroughly recommend contacting them to show you the sights of Hanoi. They are very happy to customise your trip so you can see whatever it is you would like and there was no time limit. On my last day I had Ngat as my guide and we spent six hours together. She was very knowledgable about the Ho Chi Minh complex and had very good English. They’ll be happy to walk you around or take you on the back of their bike. I know I wouldn’t have enjoyed exploring Hanoi city as much if I hadn’t contacted these guys

It should be first thing you do when you come to Hanoi, it's a half day tour from morning 9.30am to 2pm with all the major spots as well as the food (we need to pay)
The Tour Guides were super helpful and made it possible to have the best possible experience. When the tour ended they even took us to the food place as per our recommendations. It was the amazing walking tour. Totally recommended.
