Outstanding tour - Highly recommended organization! - Our experience with the students of Hanoi was truly delightful! We embarked on a food tour on our first day, followed by a visit to the Temple of Literature. Opting for the food tour initially proved to be an excellent decision; we were introduced to traditional cuisine, provided insights into their culinary customs, and received valuable recommendations on where to dine. It comes highly recommended! Regarding the historical tour, regrettably, I've forgotten the names of our guides. However, both students were incredibly kind and knowledgeable, particularly about the Temple of Literature. Despite our group comprising two small children, making it challenging to adhere strictly to the tour itinerary, they handled the situation admirably. We highly recommend their services!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time exploring with him! - Our guide proved to be an exceptional guide during our Hanoi War Sites Walking Tour, expertly leading us to historic and cultural landmarks. His recommendations for Pho and Banh Mi were spot-on, adding a delightful culinary dimension to our experience. Moreover, he went above and beyond by assisting us with translations during our shopping excursion at a local wholesale market.

Reflecting on History - One of the highlights of the tour is a visit to the iconic Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, where visitors can pay their respects to the revolutionary leader whose vision shaped modern Vietnam. Surrounded by the solemn grandeur of the mausoleum, one can't help but reflect on the enduring legacy of Ho Chi Minh and his contributions to the nation's independence.

Terrible, the guide did not showed up! - Terrible! The company is not professional at all. Nobody showed up to the meeting point. I tried to contact the company via the chat and nobody replied. I had to ask people on the streets if they could help me by calling the company since my SIM card was only for data. Someone called on my behalf and she was told that there was no such tour. I lost more than an hour by getting to the meeting point and waiting. After Viator intervened, someone of the company texted me saying that he was just informed of the tour and if I could wait for him 30min! The company never apologized and I had to demand to get a reimbursement. Unfortunately Viator cannot intervene in the reimbursement. Note that it is up to the company to reimburse you so Viator cannot provide you any guarantee. The situation was quite annoying.
