We had a wonderful private tour today with our guide, Pietro. He arrived early at our hotel and immediately made us feel comfortable and excited for the day ahead. Our first stop was the Incense Village, where he patiently explained the incense-making process and helped us take beautiful photos, making the visit extra special. We then explored the Temple of Literature, which turned out to be incredibly rich in history, and Pietro’s storytelling truly brought the place to life. We also visited the Mausoleum and the famous St. Joseph Cathedral, then enjoyed a bountiful and delicious lunch at Banh Mi Tam. One of the highlights was Train Street, where we had coffee while waiting for the train to pass, a unique Hanoi experience full of energy and charm. Our last visit was the Pagoda, where Pietro shared fascinating details and stories that made the visit meaningful. He is funny, knowledgeable, kind, and very accommodating. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hanoi.

Nothing short of a wow! Our tour guide Andrew was great and made the trip very interactive. We drove in a fortuner. so ride was very comfortable. The trip started with Incense village where we saw the making of the incense sticks, in fact did some activities ourselves as well. Andrew was very helpful in taking the best pics for us as a family. Then we headed back to train street where Andrew has some friends who had a seat for us. We sipped Coffee and enjoyed the train literally so close to us that you can touch it..then we headed to our lunch place.Small but decent. Ban my, fried rice, rice rolls, dry pho( excellent) and sticky rice ice cream. Post our lunch we visited the Lake Pagoda, Cathedral, Literature Uni. Andrew explained the history of each place in detail, no rush and lot of photo time. All these places are close to old quarters. Finally ended our trip with an egg coffee with a nice view of the bustling street.. overall a very satisfying family day exploring Hanoi! Worth it
