Minh N.
Hi, I’m Minh, your local guide in Hanoi! This city is my hometown, and to me, it’s so much more than just a place—it’s filled with warm, welcoming people and unforgettable experiences. As a local guide, I'm excited to share hidden gems, delicious street food (I’m a big foodie!), and fascinating stories about Hanoi’s history. Feel free to reach out with any questions! With my knowledge, sense of humor, and passion for my country, I aim to connect with fellow travelers. I promise you’ll have an amazing experience in Vietnam! If you are traveling solo, I can ride you on my motorbike; if you have more than 1 person, we can walk together and call a taxi when needed. Additionally, I’m a photographer, so I can offer photo tours to capture stunning moments at the city’s best spots. Looking forward to seeing you!

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!

I found those as the great connection to bring the best services to my beloved customers. I have been the international licensed tourist guide for more than 12 years until now. I am lucky to escort my clients through different regions. From that, I have chances of better understanding and respecting each culture and value. My priority of working is your satisfaction. Beside all classic tours in Vietnam, I also have great ides for authentic tours as below: 1) Hidden Hanoi photograph tours 2) Hanoi backstreet motorbike tours: visit the beautiful parts of city and learn about local lives through hidden streets and alleys that only motorbikes can go through. 3) Non-touristy rural market visit and hands-on cooking experience at local home 4) Unspoilt Ninh Binh day trip from Hanoi More customized options I can offer for your kind consideration. To describe briefly my self: I am passionate, energetic and sincere always. Warmest regards, *Your ambassador in Vietnam* Rose Nhung

“Great whirlwind tour of Hanoi with Rose”
Rose was a fantastic guide ensuring that I get the best of Hanoi even though I had only one evening and one morning free. She brought me to the various local food places where you see only locals in those shops. She is knowledgeable about Vietnam's history and allowed me to understand the long history of Vietnam and even gained insights into some of the influences from chinese, Japanese and French. Highly recommend her if you are to come to Hanoi
