ハノイ市半日プライベート ツアー : 隠れたコーナーとトレイン ストリート

Co worker and I had a business trip to Hanoi from the US and booked this tour at the end of the trip. We didn't have a ton of time to see the city but wanted to get a flavor. Boiled down: we were VERY pleased with this experience and would highly recommend. Our guide's name was Lan and she was everything you hope for in a tour guide in a foreign-to-you city: native, enthusiastic personality, and her English was very good. We visited Ho Chi Minh's mausoleum (make sure you go in the morning; you can't see Minh's body in the afternoon) and the complex around it. We then went to the Temple of Literature (aka the oldest school in Vietnam) and learned about the influence of China throughout Vietnam's history. We took a scheduled stop at a coffee shop on Train Street and were able to watch one of the trains go through. The videos of Train Street don't do the experience justice; the train was close enough to touch with your hand. You would never see that in the US. We visited the oldest cathedral in Hanoi, walked through a huge wholesale market and ended at the Long Bien bridge. We did a fair amount of walking around the different locations but transport between was in a private car where we could leave our belongings between stops and cool down in the air conditioning. The transport, driver, and all entrance fees were included in our tour price, as was our beverage at the Train Street shop. For the amount of time available to us at the end of our trip, this tour proved to be a great use of time. If you have the opportunity, definitely recommend trying to book with Lan (be ready to be quizzed constantly on the facts she teaches during the tour). If you have the flexibility of timing your overall trip to Vietnam, non-summer months would be more comfortable.

We really enjoyed this tour with our very knowledgeable and friendly guide Linh. It provided us with a great introduction to Hanoi and its history.

Our tour guide was LAN and she was fantastic and enthusiastic every minute of the tour…in fact another tour member asked for her details as she was so good compared to theirs! We visited several sites including the Temple of Literature, iconic Don Xuan Market, the famous Train Street which was amazing and St Josephs Cathedral. Lans knowledge and love for her city made the tour even more special.

The tour was good but the itinerary was quite different to what was on the website, and the guide was not able to make changes as that was what she had been instructed to do. Once we adjusted our expectations we learnt a lot about some of the sights, and we would not have got as much out of the tour without our guide. Our tour guide was lovely with quite good English

LAN was a fantastic guide, informative and funny:) the school of literature was my fave spot, there was so much history I didn’t know.

This tour is perfect for first timers to Hanoi and helps you get aquainted with the city. Guide and driver were exceptional. Lan, our guide, was very good at telling us about each place and was super friendly. She went out of her way to assist us throughout the tour.

The guide was friendly and seemed knowledgeable about Vietnam’s history, though he appeared quite young and somewhat inexperienced. Unfortunately, we missed 3 of the 7 places listed in the itinerary. We also just missed a train we were trying to catch and had to wait about 40 minutes for the next one, which cost us some time. There was also some confusion about the egg coffee/tea that was supposed to be included in the package. Initially, the guide asked us to pay for it, but after we asked him to double-check with his team, he confirmed that the drinks would be covered. During this process, we were taken up and down the busy train street several times with our elderly parents while trying to find a cheaper café. In the end, they did cover the drinks at a slightly more expensive café, which we appreciated. Overall, the experience was pleasant, but the itinerary felt a bit rushed. Trying to fit so many stops into a half-day tour made it difficult to see everything comfortably; it would likely work better as a full-day tour.

Nice guide, but left out a lot what we noticed only afterwards. Sure, it was only a morning, but dropped us off at the hotel after less than 3h

Had a good tour with Linh, he was very helpful and knowledgeable about the locations, it's a shame train street has no trains ! Not the operators fault, it's the same for everyone, I would recommend, hopefully someone else would get better weather, Hanoi in the cold and rain is not pleasant.

Ken was our tour guide and Vinh was our driver. We had a wonderful time on this tour. We went to the Temple of Literature and Ho Chi Min mosoleum among other places. Ken share Vietnamese history in depth. He answered all of our questions and made our time together very enjoyable. I highly recommend booking a tour.
