Wonderful streets of Hanoi - We spent 3 hours with Lee tour guide Lee, exploring The streets of Hanoi. Lee was knowledgeable and enthusiastic, providing fascinating insights into the history and culture of the city. Every corner reveals something new, from small alleys to bustling markets. The local people were very friendly and welcoming, we had the opportunity to chat with them and felt their welcome to us

Actual places we visited were great, tour guide not so great. - We were due to meet our guide at 5:30 from our hotel. We arrived at 5.27. by 5:38 having informed them we were sat in the lobby, we said no one had arrived. So we actually met our guide at 5:45
We had to wait for a taxi to take us to meet the rest of the group which did not arrive until 6pm. When we met the rest of the group we learned that the tour guide, as now we had been transferred to another chap, had in fact told the group that we were late!! Which was not correct, they should of arranged for us to meet earlier.
We were expecting a bit more history than provided but we did go to some really interesting places. We did not experience BhanMi, but less traditional foods.
We were taken to train street after we explained we had booked that. We go the feeling the guide was trying to maximise his profit by including less.
He was also hung up with our son who is 6ft 5in insisting he was as tall!
He showed me how to follow him on instagram so he could send us the details of the places we ate but later blocked me.
The tour itself we would recommend as it does take you to some great places we just wished we had stayed with Oli the original guide.
