Was able to experience their culture as to how to making insence and hats in a traditional way. An eye opener for me how important it is to preserve our culture. The tour guide is really nice and accommodating. Her purpose in promoting the local tradition/culture is really commendable.

The Hanoi Night Sightseeing Double-Decker Bus was a wonderful experience and a relaxing way to explore the city after sunset. The upper deck offered fantastic views of Hanoi’s beautifully illuminated landmarks, including Hoan Kiem Lake and the Old Quarter. The cool evening breeze made the ride even more enjoyable. The audio guide provided interesting information about the city's history and culture. The route was well planned, allowing us to see many famous attractions without the hassle of walking through crowded streets. I highly recommend this experience for first-time visitors who want to enjoy Hanoi’s vibrant nighttime atmosphere and capture some great photos along the way

I had a wonderful time with Trang, our tour guide. This tour was very worth it given the experiences you get — it is food, culture, scenery all-in-one. I was not able to capture all the scenes but it felt like we were able to see all of Hanoi. Being on a jeep made it more fun. Trang is very helpful and took lovely photos. I highly recommend this tour :)

This tour was such a great experience! we had Mike as our guide and he was such a genuine and kind person who truly loves what he does. It was a great way to get around to some of the main landmarks eothout having to get a grab everywhere but also a nice break to 'Banana Island' in lush greenery once you get there. (Ignore the rubbish along the way, as this is a slum area and no policing this. Mike explains this very well. So be mindful.)

Highly recommend tour. I had Bee as our guide and she had lots of history knowledge. The driver was good as well. The food was great and the sights were also good. I recommend the night one as we had sunset but the war museum was closed as expected after 5:00pm but was able to see the outside which had plenty to see. It is good value for money.

We had an incredible half-day historical tour with Harley. His passion for Hanoi's history and culture made every landmark come alive. The pacing was perfect for a half-day outing, and Harley went above and beyond to answer all of our questions and make us feel welcome. Outstanding knowledge, super friendly, and wonderfully structured. We also got to taste the salt coffee and it was really, really good! Will definitely book again when we come back here in Hanoi.

Had a great tour with Louise, she knew quite alot of the history which made an interesting chat. Safe driver and we shared a few laughs and I got to share some of my culture with her as well. If recommend booking through this group. it was great to visit places where there was less crowds especially the farm, just on the outskirts of the city.
