Unforgettable Hanoi Experience with the Best Guides! - I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with Hanoi Free Private Tours — this organization is a true gem, and I feel incredibly lucky to have been paired with three outstanding guides who made my trip to Hanoi one of the most memorable travel experiences of my life. Hieu was my first guide, and he gave me a warm welcome to the city. We explored the charming Old Quarter, strolled around the peaceful Hoàn Kiếm Lake, and visited the serene Temple of Literature. Hieu was full of knowledge, incredibly friendly, and gave such rich historical context to everything we saw. He brought the past and present of Hanoi to life in the most engaging way. Ngoc was my second guide, and she took me to the inspiring Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum Complex — her respect and insight into Vietnam’s history were deeply moving. Afterwards, she helped me navigate the bustling markets for some bargain shopping — I would never have found such great deals without her! Ngoc was thoughtful, patient, and such a joy to spend the day with. My final tour was with Chi, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. We explored the powerful Hoa Lo Prison (a true war memorial), indulged in delicious Vietnamese street food (she knew all the best spots!), and, to my absolute delight, Chi even took me to her family's neighborhood. That personal touch gave me a rare and heartwarming glimpse into everyday life in Hanoi — something I’ll never forget. Each guide brought their own unique energy, passion, and personal stories to the experience. I felt like I wasn’t just seeing Hanoi — I was feeling it through the eyes of locals who genuinely cared about sharing their city with me. To anyone visiting Hanoi, do not miss out on this incredible organization. These free tours are not only informative — they’re full of heart, soul, and authentic connection. Thank you, Hieu, Ngoc, and Chi — you are truly amazing! 🇻🇳✨

Experiential learning of Vietnam by Oliver and Ming - Your guides Oliver and Ming conducted the tour for me. Both possessed good knowledge of Vietnamese history. They even suggested good cafes and restaurants in the town I totally recommend both of them if you wish to take a tour.

Unique experience - With my sons 14&15, it was great, we saw and learned a lot through the eyes of our local guides. Unique, cozy and very special. English was good, we discovered that German was also a language dur she learned so we also spoke German. In addition to the great locations and information, it was an open window into the real Vietnamese culture. Big thanks to both ladies. We greatly admire their commitment and commitment. Ps communication in advance was very good. Everything was very clear.

Informative and Friendly Tour with the Next Generation of Youth in Vietnam - Thao and her colleague (Thai?) Provided a wonderful tour. We spent time in Old Town, by the lake, and at Hoa Lo prison. We discussed Vietnam culture, history, food, and more. They had insightful questions on life in the United States and I enjoyed the conversation. They are excellent communicators and great ambassadors on behalf of young folks in Hanoi. We appreciated every minute of the tour.
