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.

The Hanoi City & Countryside Tour was a meaningful and eye-opening journey. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, punctual, and even sprinkled in a little humor that kept the day light despite some very profound stops.
The most impactful part of the tour was visiting the Hoa Lo Prison Museum. While not exactly “enjoyable” in the usual sense, it was deeply significant—it gave us a glimpse into the harsh lives of prisoners during the French occupation, and helped us understand an important piece of Vietnam’s history.
The tour was well-organized, and the complimentary water was much appreciated, though including some light snacks would make the experience even more comfortable. Overall, it was a powerful mix of cultural immersion and historical awareness—an experience I would recommend to travelers who want to see both the beauty and the depth of Hanoi.

Our tour guide Anh, was such a great guide around Hanoi's historically significant places. I really appreciated all his explanations and stories about each place. He was very patient and nice. The pick up and drop off experience was smooth. My friend and I really enjoyed the lunch as well!

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.

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.

What a steal! Had a very convenient way of exploring Hanoi in a day. Lunch was also sumptuous and delicious. Only downside was the long line to enter Ho Chi Minh Mauselum. Overall, this is worth the money.
