Don’t skip this when you are in Hanoi and make sure you get Michael as your guide. The vehicle is comfortable and passengers get picked up and dropped off at hotel so long as you are in Old Quarter. Water is provided during the trip. The lunch is a set family style meal which is more Chinese-Viet than authentic Vietnamese but adequate and filling all the same. The places visited are essential to understand Vietnam’s history and Michael provided detailed and interesting facts about each site. I was surprised some “facts” I thought about Vietnam for a while are not correct. My appreciation and understanding of this country has improved with this visit. The tour is informal and Michael happily accommodates our questions as we move along. He looks after all his participants and accommodates requests if he is able. I will definitely come back and look for him again as a guide.

Our tour guide Michael is very passionate & took great efforts to explain the history, facts & culture of Vietnam in an engaging way & with a good sense of humour. He also demonstrated the warmth & hospitality of the Vietnamese people. In addition, he is proactive to welcome any queries that we have & go the extra mile in accommodating our requests. We truly appreciated his dedication & enthusiasm. The visits to Ethnology Musuem, Hoa Lo Prison and Ho Chi Minh are eye-openers for my family. The tour is really insightful & has deepen my understanding of this country. Highly recommended.

We applied for the Japanese tour, but because we didn't have enough people, we switched to the English tour. The difference was refunded in cash on the day. Even though we don't speak much English, we were able to enjoy the tour because it was easy to understand. It was too far away to visit on our own, and thanks to the guide's explanations, we were able to learn more. I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to go to the Cu Chi Tunnels.

We had a fantastic time on the Hanoi in a Day tour! The tour started with only 8 of us, and by the second half, it was just the 4 of us since some tourists had to catch their flights. The tour bus was very comfortable, and the itinerary was followed perfectly. One of the highlights was the yummy lunch included in the tour—delicious local dishes that added to the overall experience! We had a great mix of sightseeing and learning about Hanoi’s history. It was not only memorable but also very informative. Our tour guide was amazing, and he even took some great photos for us along the way! Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore Hanoi in a day!

Best Tour guide with extra skill in photography!~Vũ Quang Anh. Yep that is his name. It was very informative and enjoyable. The lunch was also sumptuous with meat and veggies and soup included and best thing u can even ask for rice for free with their set menu included in the package for this activity.

Exploring Hanoi in one day was an unforgettable experience, made even better by our fantastic guide, Anh. From the moment we started, Anh’s warmth, enthusiasm, and deep knowledge of the city brought every stop to life. We visited iconic sites like the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, the Temple of Literature, and Trấn Quốc Pagoda, each filled with rich history and stunning architecture. The highlight was navigating the bustling Old Quarter, where Anh’s local insights led us to hidden gems. His positive energy and storytelling made the day both engaging and seamless, ensuring we experienced the best of Hanoi in just a short time. Highly recommended!
