Hanoi in a day shore excursion was excellent! - Our shore excursion to see Hanoi in a day was excellent. We had a great tour guide and a very reliable driver in a very nice vehicle. Hanoi is far from Halong Bay so you have to account for the distance and the traffic. This tour did just that going there and back. Once in Hanoi, our tour guide Tam educated and showed us to all the main sites such as train street and the old quarter. We had a terrific Pho lunch! Everything was on point t and we really enjoyed our tour which I highly recommend.

Great Day with an Exceptional Tour Guide! - Our tour guide Duc was very kind and knowledgeable! He was very accommodating as to what we were interested in seeing and made sure that each member of our group was safe and accounted for as well, especially with the crazy Vietnam traffic. We really felt we were in good hands - during our trip to Asia we had a lot of tour guides and Duc was by far one of the best. I would definitely recommend Duc to anyone looking to have a great day learning about local history and experiencing the best of what Hanoi City has to offer.

Outstanding Hanoi private tour - Excellent tour! We had Mickey as our guide. He was informative, friendly and fun! There were 6 of us in a roomy VIP van for 8 and we asked lots of questions! Mickey accommodated our schedule and time and even took us to a 120 year old coffee house for some Excellent Vietnam coffee! It was a perfect tour complete with NY celebrations at the Imperial Citadel.

Worth the expense and long risde. - Peter was a likable and good guide, and he has a good command of the English language, but often his pronunciations made it difficult to understand his meaning. He met us right on time at the designated spot and communicated well on WhatsApp. The vehicle was spacious and the driver very good at getting us close to where we were going. The included lunch was good, but the low typical Vietnamese seating was a little hard for us older and disabled persons. Peter and the driver were very conscientious about our safety and accommodated our requests. We particularly appreciated Peter being quiet on the long drive back to Ha Long, as the heat and humidity wore us out. We were very satisfied with the tour and felt we got a good sense of Hanoi in a short time frame. We were a little disappointed we were just a few minutes late to see the train pass through on Trsin Street, which would have been very cool. Overall, a good experience. Pay attention to the description; it is quite a trek to Hanoi from Ha Long .
