Amazing experience with a professional guide girl with a perfect sense of humor. Unfortunately I cannot recall her name, we were on the tour on 12.3. I fully recommend this tour. The only small problem was the waiting time at the shooting range because it was a little loudly for those who did not want to shoot.

I forgot our guide's name, but he was very knowledgeable. He's the kind of guide that beyond just the tour, if you have extra questions related to the tour or Hanoi in general, will be able to answer.

Had a great tour with Sarah! She was very friendly and gave us a lot of information about Hanoi history and the local food culture! Definitely would recommend.

we had an amazing tour, Thanh our driver was so helpful and made seeing all the sights in Hue so fun and easy. I would really recommend!

Great experience traversing the streets of Hanoi and trying all the wonderful food! Our guide phon was amazing !
