Excellent Guide & Restaurant Selection!

Rose was amazing! Taught us so much about Vietnam food and culture and brought us to places I certainly would have missed! All the food was great as well and I would sincerely recommend if you are in Hanoi.

Rose was a great tour...

Rose was a great tour guide. She was very knowledgeable. Gave us information about the different foods & culture in Hanoi & Vietnam. The food was delicious. We went to places that we wouldn’t have found on our own. She was very kind, trying to connect with all the group. It included the train street, which was scary & exciting!
