Great City Tour - This was a very good tour. My guide, Peter, reqlly helped me see all the things I wanted to see from the National Assembly, Mosleaum, President's house, Hanoi Hilton, etc. I rewlly appreciate all the information he gave me, and that he let me totally be a tourist, taking pictures at random spots. This is a reqlly great tour. I would suggest people who take this tour look at the city to wee the things they want to do and really delve into it. I wish I has known earlier about the Citadel and Opera House. I eould have asked to go insde these things, alongside the Mosleaum. . This is the tourto take for it.

Perfect informative tour when your time in Hanoi is limited. - Peter is an outstanding tour guide with lots of knowledge and very passionate for his profession. It is not usual to find someone who is so young and passionate, and has so much love for his city and country that he finds joy in sharing it with the world. The highlites of the tour were Hoa Lo Prison (aka. Hanoi Hilton) as well as Train Street where passenger trains come with in inches of you as you enjoy a delicious Vietnamese iced coffee.
