Great morning with Van!
Of note, I took the "French Quarter" tour not Train Street, as I was the only person that signed up. The booking company quickly contacted me after booking, which I made only 2 hours prior to the tour. Easy to find the meeting location, and the route was an easy walk for all ages. Excellent stop for coffee in the break. Van was one of the most engaging and knowledgeable guides I have encountered anywhere I have visited and would seek her out personally if I'm in Hanoi again!

Excellent tour by a fabulous guide!
We loved this tour because we learned so much about Vietnamese culture and history! You won’t get this much detail from websites or AI or guide books. Not even close! From historic figures and places, to why things are the way they are today — our guide covered an incredible amount of information in a few hours. Our guide was Julia - and we are truly grateful for her knowledge and willingness to share it with us. Julia also took extra time to recommend places for authentic food and continued learning for us, as we keep exploring this amazing city. And she is extremely fluent in English. ???? Thank you, Julia! ????????????????✌️ ????????????????????

Excellent tour!
Nam was our tour guide and he did an excellent job showing us highlights of the city. He was very respectful and gave us recommendations on where to eat and shop. He timed our tour so that we can see the train pass by while sitting at a cafe at train street! Do not hesitate to book!

Thu is amazing!
I and my husband joined a tour today. Our guide, Thu, was amazing! She is very enthusiastic, knowledgeable and so kind. She covered such a lot of interesting streets where we wouldn’t notice without her. She is a lovely guide. I recommend the tour for every tourist!

How does a free tour work?
Booking costs nothing. At the end, each person gives the guide what they think is fair for the experience: it's a voluntary tip.
