Alex N.
Xin Chào & Welcome to Hanoi! Hello! My name is Alex, a professional tour guide proudly based in Hanoi. I was born and raised in Hanoi, so this city is not just where I work—it’s my home. From hidden alleys and local markets to historical landmarks and everyday life, I truly understand Hanoi, its culture, and its people. I graduated from two major universities in Hanoi, specializing in Tourism (Tour Guide) and English, and I have been working in the tourism industry since 1995. I speak fluent English and bring strong knowledge of Vietnamese history, geography, traditions, culture, and local customs. Over the years, I have built close partnerships with trusted service providers, including hotels, transportation companies, and ticket agencies. Thanks to this network, I can design and organize private, flexible, and fully customized tours to match your interests, pace, and travel style. Traveling with me means smooth services, thoughtful planning, and a worry-free experience. More than a guide, I am also a passionate traveler—just like you. I love discovering new destinations, tasting local cuisine, and learning about different cultures. I have traveled extensively across Asia, including China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, and South Korea. When we travel together, we share the same curiosity, excitement, and passion for discovering the real Vietnam. Your vacation is not just a trip — it’s a lifetime experience. I look forward to welcoming you and creating unforgettable memories in Vietnam!

My specialty is creating authentic and unforgettable local experiences through motorbike tours, foodie adventures, hidden gems, and customized shore excursions.
