"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

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!

“Amazing Hanoi Experience with Rose”
We had an absolutely wonderful day exploring Hanoi with Rose, and I cannot recommend her enough. Her English is excellent, and her energy is infectious—she kept us engaged and excited from start to finish. Why you should book with Rose: • Expert Knowledge: Rose really knows her history. We loved soaking in the stories and cultural context she provided at every stop. • Logistical Pro: Her organizational skills are top-notch. She knows all the "secret" ways to cut through waiting times, making the day feel seamless. • The Food: The street food she picked was delicious! The Bun Cha was the absolute highlight, followed closely by the savory pancakes wrapped in rice paper. • Unique Experiences: Visiting the train track was a fascinating and memorable highlight of the trip. Special shout-out to her driver, Mr. Happy, who truly lived up to his name. He has an uncanny ability to navigate the busy Hanoi streets and somehow always appeared exactly where we were for a perfectly timed pickup. If you want a stress-free, deep dive into Hanoi’s culture and cuisine, book Rose!

Dear Mr. Sailesh, I could know how to fully express my gratitude for your glowing feedback on my services.
