"Xin Chao" my dear customers from all over the world, I am Rose Nguyen , who was born and raised in Hanoi. I have been working as a guide and travel consultant for customized unique tours in all parts of Vietnam. It is my great honor always to be your local expertise wherever you go in my country. I graduated from the University of Languages and International studies. My second and third degree are tourism & Vietnamese cooking. 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

“Excellent day with Rose!”
Rose did a great job guiding us around Hanoi. We had very specific requirements about our interests and what we wanted to see, and Rose was able to meet our needs 100%. She is very well informed about the history of Vietnam and was able to answer all our questions. I hope I can find a guide like her in every country that I visit!

“Fabulous tour ”
Rose was the perfect tour guide. She was informative and so interesting. She organised a whole-day tour with taxi rides so that I didn’t overuse my broken ankle. She was kind and helpful at all times and I really enjoyed her company. Please don’t hesitate to get in contact with Rose if you want the best tour guide in Hanoi.

“An amazing day in Ninh Binh thank to Rose”
Rose was a phenomenal guide for our group of 4 as we explored Ninh Binh! She was great to work with as we customized the plan for the day so we could see all the sights we wanted to, and brought an incredibly positive energy throughout the day that made the tour feel truly personal. She really made an effort to speak with us each individually, get to know us, and call out facts that she thought we might personally find interesting. Her knowledge of the area was phenomenal and she gave wonderful context about the region, local life, and Vietnamese culture. Truly, you could not pick a better person to help you experience such a beautiful place.
Nhung N.
Hello Miles and friends, Thank you so much for your kind words. It truly means a lot to me. I’m so happy I had the chance to spend the day with you and share a little of my home, my culture, and the beauty of Ninh Binh with you. What made the day special for me was not only showing you around, but also getting to know each of you along the way. I’m truly grateful for the time we shared, and I hope you’ll take home wonderful memories of Ninh Binh and Vietnam. Wishing you all the best, and I hope our paths cross again someday! With warmest wishes, Rose Nhung
