“Awesome day trip of Hanoi with Thuy”
It was an awesome experience to see Hanoi under the guidance of Thuy. Naturally, as this was essentially my first day in Southeast Asia, I had great trepidation navigating the bustling city of Hanoi. Thuy was particularly helpful with this process. Starting with the prompt arrival with her driver, her kindness & attentiveness, as well as flexibility to change the schedule on a whim. Her knowledge of the history of the region is nonpareil. For English speakers, her command of the language is admirable and quite clear. I would highly recommend her.
