Hanoi Walking Tour

Had an amazing time with our tour guide Tom - very knowledgeable, funny, and personable. Our favorite guide on our trip through Vietnam. He gave us some flexibility on this tour to stop at places we wanted to see. He was so well informed on all the places he stopped to show us. The experience would not have been this good without him. Amazing experience.

We got a tour by Max who did an amazing job. He was super educational and provided us with lots of information which was amazing to learn. He was always happy to listen to us and answer any of our questions, and able to adapt to our needs. We had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend, especially our tour guide Max.

Excellent tour with a truly knowledgable guide 👍

This was a brilliant introduction to Hanoi. Our guide Peter (Quan) was excellent - very knowledgable and interesting. We received a great insight into Hanoi and Vietnamese culture and history in a morning half day tour. The driver was also very helpful. Would definitely recommend this tour for a first time visitor.
