- 956melanieu0 contributionsPerfect TimeCrystal picked us up at our hotel with a warm welcome and showed us the Highlights of the Old Quarter. She told us a lot of details and answered all our questions. She was never in a hurry and had enough time for us. We had a great conversation while drinking lemon tea and eating green sticky rice. I was blown away by Crystal's personality and her professional ambition and desire to learn. Crystal, I am sure that you will go far and be successful.Written 24 March 2025
- 195felipv0 contributionsA perfect escapeSpending 2 days cruising through Ha Long Bay was an incredible experience. The boat was comfortable, the food was fantastic, and the views were absolutely breathtaking. Waking up to the peaceful scenery, with limestone cliffs rising from the water, was magical. The highlight was kayaking through hidden lagoons - it truly felt like stepping into another world.Written 19 March 2025

- nealont20240 contributionsA must-do Hanoi experienceHands down, this was the best decision ever! I highly recommend this booking a tour with Bop early in your trip. He takes you to the best local spots, all of which are his personal favorites, and trust me, they do not disappoint! From the refreshing beef salad to the unique grilled pork spring rolls, cheesy pork skewers, and delicious coconut sticky rice dessert, every bite was amazing.Written 27 February 2025
- 244finlayk0 contributionsA wonderful tour of HanoiThis was our first time having a guide show us around a city, and we were thrilled with our experience in Hanoi. It was no easy task, but she handled it perfectly. She shared fascinating insights about the city, its people, and the rich history of Vietnam. Thank you again for such a memorable time - I'll be sure to recommend some great food spots to my friends.Written 25 February 2025
- kevinc2290 contributionsPrison is the only War part of the tourThe prison was very interesting and it was great having Camille along as she could give depth to the information with the exhibits. That was the only war part of the trip as I got a message the night before to say the museum was 12km away so not possible. Offered other options but I didn’t pick your to go to women’s museum or literature museum so bailed after the prison tour. Really need to change the description as war sites tour is not what is offered. Camille provided some very helpful guidance on visiting some other sites.Written 23 February 2025
- S5536MPlauras0 contributionsGreat experience in Hanoi!We took a private tour with Crystal, she was really nice and checked in with us a day before the tour to ask us what we’ve already seen and what we wish to see.

- B1693CXsergiom0 contributionsGreat tour in HanoiOur guide was Thomas, a Vietnamese student who could make time for us after an exam. Really helpful since we talked by whatsapp and the tour that we could choose (although it was fast because we had no much time) it was amazing. We did the Hoa Lo Prision tour and Joseph Cathedral and all the information provided was super interesting but also other different topics as vietnamese history, food or fun facts… His actitud and passion make me recommend to everyone going to Hanoi making a tour with him.Written 12 January 2025

Experiencing the city with a local and passionate guide was a beautiful experience. We managed to get a good understanding of the city, sharing experiences and hearing first hand local stories. It is definitely something we would highly recommend to anyone, if is your first time in Hanoi or Vietnam but also if is not your first time in - you have the chance to discover the city on a different level :)Written 7 January 2025
- tobiasflorianm0 contributionsSpecial city tour by local studentsMy guide Juvelyn took me to various sights and gave me interesting insights in Vietnamese culture and day-to-day life in Hanoi. She came up with a tour proposal and certain sight and food destinations. All my personal wishes and preferences (e. g. destinations, food, transportation mode) were integrated into the tour by her. This tour was really personal and special. It was an excellent experience - I highly recommend it as a must do for your visit in Hanoi. Best guided city tour I‘ve done so far.Written 5 January 2025

What a wonderful morning! Bonnie, a student, took me around Hanoi. We got some green rice and glutinous rice a little shop and then we went to eat it in a very famous cafe in Hanoi for egg coffee. Then we went to the ancient house, and Bonnie told me so many curiosities about the house, it was super relaxing. Finally we took some time on the shore of Hoan Kiem Lake, resting from the heat.
And finally, pre-lunch, Bonnie took me to this chain of restaurants where they serve grilled fish, one of the best dishes I've tasted in Hanoi, and with great views of the lake from the fourth floor.
Bonnie is super cute and helpful.
A special morning! Thank you Bonnie and thank you Hanoi e-buddies!

It really looked like an authentic evening in Hanoi. The food was absolutely amazing! We were able to try unique versions of snacks that are only available in Hanoi, and our guide did a fantastic job explaining each dish and offering excellent recommendations. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you are traveling alone: it is the perfect way to enjoy the Hanoi culinary scene while learning from locals!

Our food tour was definitely one of the highlights of our Vietnam trip! We were allowed to taste 8 fantastic dishes for lunch and enjoyed every single bite. Our guide is super friendly and knows so much about the local food scene. With only four people in our group, it felt really personal and relaxed.

The time with the guides was truly remarkable. They catered to our every culinary craving, selecting the perfect dining spots based on our preferences. Opting for the street food tour with them proved to be a wise decision, saving us valuable time that would have otherwise been spent aimlessly navigating the streets of Hanoi. We wholeheartedly recommend them as guides; their expertise and attention to detail made our experience unforgettable.

We had a great time walking through the old quarter with our lovely guide Abigail. She spoke very good English and was very enthusiastic. She showed a good knowledge of the area and some of the less well known Vietnamese dishes. We ate food we probably would not have chosen so it was really good to try something very different. Having fermented rice in yogurt as a dessert was the highlight - delicious.
We would thoroughly recommend this free tour which serves to help the students develop their English skills

Daisy and Selina were amazing and our kids loved them! It was nice to walk around the streets of Hanoi and not having to remember how to get back somewhere. The girls took us to two restaurants (we were too full to go anywhere else) and gave us the option of what to do next.
Having a local with you made entering Train St a breeze and we didn’t have local cafe owners hassle us. They were knowledgeable, polite and fun - highly recommend!

We had an amazing experience on a Hanoi food tour with our guide! Our group was small - just two couples - which made the experience feel intimate and personalized. Our tour guide took us to several local, family-run restaurants, each famous for its authentic Vietnamese dishes that have been passed down through generations. This tour was an absolute highlight of our trip, and we’re incredibly grateful for the insights and unforgettable flavors it introduced us to!

We took a street food walking tour with Thomas as our e Buddie. We visited three street food restaurants, all from the tried and tested e buddies list, and had excellent food. We had no worries about food hygiene and to go with a local guide meant that we learned about not only what we were eating but something of the history of the dishes. Thomas, a university student, was extremely knowledgeable about Vietnamese culture, history, politics and of course daily life. His English was fluent and he was enthusiastic, energetic and very warm and friendly. I could give him nothing less than a five star review.
