Dear valued guests from around the world, “Xin Chào!” My name is Sammy., and I was born and raised in Hanoi, Vietnam. It is truly my pleasure and honor to be your local expert and companion during your journey through Vietnam. I graduated from Technology as my major, but I found the tour guide as an amazing job for me since I love sharing Vietnamese culture, history and cuisine. I speak English and am expecting to get German language degree in the near future. My specialty is creating authentic and unforgettable local experiences through motorbike tours, foodie adventures, hidden gems, and customized shore excursions. I am passionate about taking travelers beyond the usual tourist routes to discover the true heart of Vietnam that other guides do not take them to. From riding through Hanoi’s hidden alleyways on a motorbike to tasting authentic local cuisine and visiting peaceful countryside villages, my goal is to create the unique authentic experience. For cruise passengers and travelers with limited time, I carefully design unique shore excursions that make the most of every moment. These experiences may include once-in-a-lifetime motorbike adventures, peaceful escapes in Ha Long Bay away from the crowds, or discovering the hidden side of Hanoi within just a few hours. I can arrange the private transfers, cruise, hotels and services for package tours. I would be excited to hear from you and tailor your fabulous trip!!!! With my very best regards, Sammy

“An amazining day tour in Hanoi with Rose!”
The 15th of June 2026, we had the opportunity to visit Ha Noi with Rose! It was the best day tour ever. Rose is an exceptional guide. She is friendly, kind, knowledgeable and her English is excellent!!! Rose shared information in a way that was engaging and memorable. Her deep knowledge of Hanoi’s history and culture, paired with a warm and personable approach, made our visit unforgettable. Her organizational skills are top-notch. The street food she picked was delicious. The egg-coffee shop she choose was amazing and the train street experience was a fascinating and memorable highlight of the trip. Her driver was always on time for a perfectly timed pickup. We highly recommend her services! Thank you Rose!
