Above and beyond our expectations - Although we booked a group tour we were lucky enough to get a private tour. Our guide,Timmy, was knowledgeable and friendly. He was able to recommend and arrange transportation and a Halong bay cruise. He handled all the small details to tailor the toys to our specific needs.

- I had a great experience with this tour agency! The service was smooth and professional from start to finish. Our guide was incredibly helpful — not only did he make our tour enjoyable, but he also went the extra mile by helping us book an additional trip. That extra trip turned out to be even better than I expected, and the price was very reasonable. Highly recommend this agency for anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful service!

Great Hanoi highlights tour! - I did the full day tour and the optional puppet show at the end. Our tour guide was great. He knew a lot of the history of the different sites he took us to. Though the tour group itself was limited to 15 people, many other tour groups visit the exact same sites on or around the same time so crowding became an issue at times. That was my only critique. I also really enjoyed lunch! The restaurant was really accommodating to everyone’s dietary needs though I ate everything. I highly recommend this tour! It’s a great way to see the sites in a short amount of time, though keep in mind not everything is covered, most notably the Hanoi Train Street.

Marvelous guide and tour - We had a marvelous time. Our guide, Thui, was so informative. Not only about the sites we went to but about life in general in both the city and the country. She had answers to all our questions. This was very relaxed and enjoyable. We hope to return and spend more time with Thui. Lovely person.

Great tour with Thuy - I booked a one day tour with Thuy. It was a great way to get your bearings around the city and it was always comforting to have a local like Thuy show you around all the great sites in the city!
