Long our guide was exceptional. He gave us the right amount of information at every visit and answered our questions very well. I highly recommend this tour to see places like the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum (limited times open each day) and the train through the cafes. Working with a great guide with a skillful driver helps you navigate the city quickly and helps you cope with the heat and humidity. We saw a lot of memorable places and ate an amazing vegetarian lunch at a local restaurant.

Just back from our Tour. Our guide, Ling was the best. Mention also to Mr Lin the driver who also did a top job. The itinerary was spot on, not too long but enough time to learn about the sites we were at. Highlight was Train Street where we had a beverage and watched the mad sight of the Train coming through the street. The temple and mausoleum were also very interesting. At just under 4 hrs it was perfect and Ling was brilliant at letting us understand Vietnam and its culture. Would totally recommend this tour as it was private and therefore you dictate the pace, not the group.

We learnt a lot from our witty host Linh. The highlight was Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum and Train Street. It was a relief to return to the air conditioned car and driver between activities. I’d recommend this tour for people who are unable to do too much walking and stay in the heat. For those who are more adventurous and able to navigate themselves, I’d say you could do this without a guide. Although it was great to learn more about the history and significance of each location with Linh. One thing is the tour says it includes a coffee or egg-coffee at train street but we paid for our own. It’s not a big deal but just different to what was advertised. Overall I’d recommend Linh and this tour to those with mobility challenges who are wanting to learn more about Hanoi and Vietnam.

The tour was very interesting and informative with a variety of experiences, not surprisingly the highlight for us was train street. Our guide Mr. Long was excellent - enthusiastic and a pleasure to spend time with and our driver made us feel confident being safely guided through the magical chaos of Hanoi traffic. Very glad that we did the tour.

Really great tour guide, who was very dry and good humoured, and it was a lovely trip. We did lots of things. One thing we went to but could go "in" as it was a Friday was Ho Chi Minh moratorium but nevertheless was nice to learn about Vietnam's history and the reverence this man has with the Vietnamese. He is a big deal with them and I'd never heard of him so I found all that history really good to learn. The trip also included train street, where the guide bought everyone a drink and we waited for around an hour. Due to the typhoon and flood on the line further down we didn't see a train which was a shame BUT the staff of the bar we were in gave us a card and said to come down later that evening after the tour which we did, and in the space of less than an hour and a half we saw 6 trains! Absolutely brilliant, great trip around Hanoi. REALLY hot and humid but would highly recommend as interesting and well worth the money. Also went to a wholesale market which was really interesting.

We had a great time with this tour.
Ocean was very knowledgeable and was able to give us many great facts about the places we visited - lots of historical information and then answers to lots of our questions.
The pace he took us at was excellent and he was very patient when we wanted to spend more time looking at anything.
We particularly enjoyed our walk through the old Quarter at the end of the tour and trying out Vietnamese hookah :)
Would totally recommend this tour for others - be aware that there is a reasonable amount of walking involved - all on flat ground though so nothing difficult

We were given a thorough tour of the city's must-see spots, efficiently showing us places that would be difficult to see on our own.
The guide and driver worked well together, and after we'd finished seeing the sights, they turned the car around immediately instead of going back to the entrance, so we were able to sightsee without losing time.
They took photos at each stop, so we were grateful that we were able to take lots of photos of the whole family.

Arriving at Ha noi, on a hot summer day, our Guide Linh welcomed us, a very prepared and passionate guy of his great and wonderful country. With him we visited both the most significant places of the Vietnamese capital, and the picturesque region of Lao Chai (sa Pa, with trekking in the valley below the city)... so much information he gave us, not only about the places visited but also about Vietnamese society, its habits, its recent history. Thank you Linh!

Absolutely fantastic experience with our tour guide, Long, in Hanoi! His great sense of humor kept the group entertained and engaged throughout the entire tour. Long went above and beyond to ensure everyone felt welcome and taken care of, making us all feel like part of one big family. His knowledge of the area and its history added so much depth to our experience. I can't recommend Long enough for anyone looking to explore Hanoi! Thank you for an unforgettable adventure!
