Meeting Point
At your hotel
At your hotel
I will pick you up at your hotel to start our wonderful ultimate Hanoi city tour.
Ho Chi Minh mausoleum
Ho Chi Minh‘s Mausoleum has long been considered as the first place to come for the first time travelers to Hanoi thanks to its tremendous historical value. Everyone wants to make a pilgrimage there to show their respect for Ho Chi Minh (Uncle Ho President Ho), the Greatest President, who led Vietnam to Independence
Tran Quoc Pagoda
Tran Quoc Pagoda, the Pagoda of National Defence, is one of top sightseeing attractions in Hanoi for those who are fascinated by history, local legend and the Buddhist faith.
The most outstanding feature of Tran Quoc Pagoda is its architecture following strictly the Buddhist architectural philosophy with many layers of buildings and three main houses.
Temple of Literature
Temple of Literature or Văn Miếu is a temple dedicated to Confucius in Hanoi, northern Vietnam. The temple also hosts the Imperial Academy, Vietnam's first national university.
Fabulous street food tour in the Old Quarter
We will try the the most delicious local specialties by street styles. My ideas for us are: Obama's noodles, Vietnamese Banhmi, egg coffee, green sticky rice with ice-cream and more upon your special request/food restrictions.
Hoa Lo Prison
Nothing prepares you for how creepy Hoa Lo Prison in Hanoi, Vietnam can be. A visit to the "Hanoi Hilton" can inspire sorrow, disgust, and, depending on your politics, different flavors of outrage.
Train street
This is really a "Woa" experience if we sit in a cafe - try an unique local coffee and witness the train passing by so closely to you.
Unlock the secrets of Hanoi Old Quarter
We will do the walking tour in the Old Quarter to discover the hidden gems of the Old town through local market, architecture, hidden alleys and tiny houses.

“Rose was amazing!”
We were so lucky to meet Rose! She was amazing. She was very knowledgeable and showed us all the great spots. Some were not the typical tourist spots. What made our time with Rose so amazing was not only her knowledge and the locations she took us to, but her personality. She was so much fun to hang out with. Anything we needed she helped us with. What a gem! Thanks Rose.

Dear Mr. Cory, Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience. It was a pleasure meeting you and spending time together in Hanoi. I’m very glad you enjoyed the places we visited, especially the local spots that are a little away from the usual tourist routes. For me, being a guide is not only about sharing history and information, but also about helping guests feel comfortable and experience the city in a more personal way. I really enjoyed our time together and am happy that you felt well taken care of throughout the day. Thank you again for choosing me as your guide and for your wonderful recommendation. I truly appreciate it and hope to see you again if you return to Hanoi. Best regards, Rose Nhung

“She Made Our Day in Hanoi Amazing!”
This was honestly the BEST day of our trip to Vietnam!!!!! She took us to Hanoi Train Street, the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, the Temple of Literature, and Hoa Lo Prison. She was incredibly knowledgeable and explained everything really well. We asked her so many questions throughout the day, not only about the places we visited, but also about what everyday life is like for people in Hanoi, the culture, and local life. She answered every question we had and taught us so much about the city. One of my favorite parts was the food:):) She took us to a really local restaurant and café that we probably never would have found on our own. The food was seriously amazing and easily the best food I had during our 5-day trip! She was super friendly, easy to talk to, and made the whole day really fun. It didn’t feel like a typical tourist tour at all. We got to learn about the history while also getting a real feel for what life in Hanoi is actually like. She made our day in Hanoi amazing!!!!!! I’m so glad we booked this tour and would 100% recommend her to anyone visiting Hanoi!

Dear Leo and friends, Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed review. It was a real pleasure spending the day with you and showing you around Hanoi. I’m glad you enjoyed the places we visited and that I could answer your questions about Hanoi’s history, culture, and everyday life. I always enjoy sharing not only the well-known sights, but also some of the local experiences that give visitors a better understanding of the city. I’m especially happy that you enjoyed the local food and café. Finding good local places and sharing them with guests is one of the things I enjoy most about being a tour guide. Thank you again for choosing me as your guide and for your kind recommendation. I truly appreciate it, and I hope you have many more great travel experiences in the future. It would be a pleasure to welcome you back to Hanoi someday. Best regards, Rose

“Absolutely perfect experience”
If you are looking for a guide in Hanoi, please consider Rose! I was so very happy with her guidance and believe she has the knowledge and ability to customize any tour and activity you could possibly want in the area. I will be recommending her to friends and family that visit Hanoi, and hope to hire her again if I return! I hired Nhung N. (English nickname Rose) for 2 days for a flexible tour of Hanoi including tailoring, food recommendations, and some local culture/history. I truly could not be more happy with my experience with her. She was patient and listened extremely well, both directly as well as picked up on things I may be interested in and recommended. She had a very positive, kind vibe to her that felt authentic. The first day she recruited a personal driver, brought us to Lang Van Phuc (silk village), explained extensive history, brought us to Obama Noodles and taught us about how to eat Bun Cha (pork noddles), brought us to Phu Tay Ho to see the temple, and lastly took us to the women’s museum, personally explaining the history, all while acting as a translator. She also challenged us to learn some words in Vietnamese! The second day was more focused on tailoring and fabrics, in which she was extremely patient with explaining our wants and needs. She then brought us to some shops we were interested in, and took us to eat some of the best food I’ve had at a restaurant locals love (and she personally goes to). Again, she was very patient with our constant and specific questions about local cultures, histories, and norms. She also worked to get us discounts without being asked, advised us on a culturally sensitive inquiry of an object taken by a US soldier, was comfortable speaking about her family and personal life/past, was flexible with last minute changes to plans, stayed in consistent contact before and during the planned tour dates, and responded quickly and reached out to get more info to further personalize the tours.
