Not to forget, she is also a gorgeous young lady with lots of potential and talent! This tour takes away the stress of having to figure out things on our own by giving us the best that Hanoi has to offer in Old Quarter. It was well-paced with fun historical facts peppered in. Definitely worth a try, if you are stopping by Hanoi for a little trip!
