Great Tour, Friendly Guides

I had Trang as my tour guide. She was excellent, friendly and very informative. It really helped that she was able to speak English as my vietnamese, while decent definitely isn't fluent enough to ask more in depth questions. She was able to answer all my questions, give me history lessons about Hanoi. And bonus points, show me a hidden, delicious coffee spot I would have never been able to find myself.
