Excellent experience, awesome tour guide

Lana was excellent as a tour guide and provided lots of knowledge on local culture and plenty of tips for tourists! She was incredibly kind and friendly, and I was surprised by how many food stops we made on the tour! My partner and I are vego and she went out of her way to make sure we were well catered for. Thanks Lana!

Must do in Hanoi!

Sarah is an amazing tour guide, very knowledgeable with her culture and happily shares it with us! Food is great and the timing with the train is perfect! Even took our photos! Sarah even helped us book our ride back to our hotel! I will 100% do it again when I'm back in Hanoi!

Can find better restaurants on my own

Ethan did a nice job taking us around to the various stops. I didn’t think we went to the BEST PLACES but instead went to places they had an agreement to bring people in at a DISCOUNT. Bahn my was disappointing, hardly had any meat in it and was a hot dog inside.
