About Tour Guide Tuyen N.

Hi, I’m Tuyen, a licensed international tour guide based in Hanoi, and I’d love to show you Vietnam beyond the usual tourist sights.


I specialize in private, personalized experiences in Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, Ninh Binh and Northern Vietnam, including shore excursions for cruise travelers. Whether you’re interested in history and culture, local food, hidden corners, or simply want to explore at a relaxed pace, I’ll tailor the experience around what you enjoy.


What I love most about guiding is connecting visitors with real Vietnamese life — tasting something delicious from a small local shop, wandering through a quiet alley, hearing the stories behind a historic place, or simply sharing a conversation over Vietnamese coffee.


My tours are flexible, personal and stress-free. I’m happy to adjust the pace, add places you’re curious about, or suggest something special based on your interests. My goal is not simply to show you Vietnam, but to help you understand and experience it like a local.


Qualifications:

• Tourism graduate – Hanoi University

• Licensed by Vietnam’s Ministry of Culture, Sports & Tourism

• Member of Vietnam Tour Guide Association

• First Aid certified


I look forward to welcoming you to Vietnam and creating an experience you’ll remember long after you leave.
