“Full day tour with Rose in Hanoi”
What a fantastic day with Rose, seeing the sites of Hanoi. We were picked up promptly in a clean, and very comfortable van with a friendly and excellent driver. We had already been in close contact with Rose to organise which sites to visit in the city of Hanoi. She was very time efficient, however we did not feel rushed at all. We visited Hoa Lo Prison, Temple of Literature, Train Street, street food in the Old Quarter, remnants of the B52 Bomber, some hidden alleyways and went to the famous Cafe Giang for our much anticipated, authentic Egg coffee experience !! We had an amazing lunch at Cha Ca Thang Long - so delicious and it is the best food we have eaten in Vietnam so far ! Rose is a highly experienced and professional tour guide of 15 years. Her excellent English made the day so enjoyable and memorable. Her knowledge of history, politics, culture and food is very impressive. She patiently answered all our questions and was interested in our background too. Her sense of humour made the day even more fun. She guided us across the incredibly busy roads and made us feel very comfortable at all times. We highly recommend yRose as a private tour guide for any area of Vietnam !

“Fantastic tour with Nhung N”
I asked Nhung to arrange a tour for us that included the train street in Hanoi. We wanted to experience the train coming down the street and feel the excitement of being close to the train. Despite there being 10 of us, Nhung ensured that we got the most amazing experience as the train rolled down the street less than a meter from us. It was a truly once in a lifetime experience and was such a blast. Thank you Nhung for a great evening!
