We chose this half day tour of Hanoi on our first full day in the city to help us get our bearings and to understand a little bit more about this city’s history. Our guide for the afternoon was Mac and he was excellent, very knowledgeable, kind and helpful. He made our afternoon really interesting and answered questions along the way. Would definitely recommend this tour as an introduction to some of the sights of the city. Thank you Mac.
Amazing tour, Thomas had great knowledge. Fantastic sights. Highly recommend.
Devin is really a nice and fluent English speaking tour guide. He is very knowledgeable, helpful and understand our personal needs (muslim travellers). Being a fluent English speaking guide is a plus point to him and the travel agent should keep him.
