We just experienced today our private walking tour with two nice young students - Hanh Dung and Thomas. It was perfect, we walked around the city, first we saw Hoam Kiem Lake and Ngoc Son temple, than we visited Hoa Lo prison, after we take an egg coffee on the train street and then we visited beautiful Temple of literature.
Our guides were very nice, talked good english, especially Hanh Dung was excellent in english, she knew a lot about vietnamese history and architecture, it was easy and fun talking to her. I really recommend this tour, you will see a lot of interesting sites and with a guide its easy to navigate throught the city and learn a lot about vietnamese people, their culture and history.

We had an amazing trip with Hanh Dung & Grey, who guided us through the prison museum and ngoc son temple.
We ended the trip at the original egg coffee café. Had a great experience and enjoyed our conversations on the way, with these two friendly, well educated and knowledgeable girls!
All the best Rasmus & Marie
