    · October 8th, 2025
    Great introduction to all the Vietnamese/Hanoian food favourites/must-haves along with great stories, beliefs and traditions of the Hanoians by Sarah/Yen. Please make sure to arrive hungry as there are lots to taste and enjoy. I love the short walks and stops to cool off and enjoy the local atmosphere. The train street was a great way to top off the tour. Sarah is very friendly, a good story teller too. Tour is great value for money too. Highly recommended.

    Great guide who was really informative and friendly. Our guide Ben contacted us the day before to confirm timings which was really helpful. On the day we went to many landmarks and learnt a lot as Ben was very knowledgeable about them all. He also asked for any requests we had and was very happy to structure the day according to what we wanted. His English is good, would highly recommend!
