At your hotel
I will pick you up at your hotel to start our wonderful ultimate Hanoi city tour.
Ho Chi Minh mausoleum
Ho Chi Minh‘s Mausoleum has long been considered as the first place to come for the first time travelers to Hanoi thanks to its tremendous historical value. Everyone wants to make a pilgrimage there to show their respect for Ho Chi Minh (Uncle Ho President Ho), the Greatest President, who led Vietnam to Independence
Tran Quoc Pagoda
Tran Quoc Pagoda, the Pagoda of National Defence, is one of top sightseeing attractions in Hanoi for those who are fascinated by history, local legend and the Buddhist faith.
The most outstanding feature of Tran Quoc Pagoda is its architecture following strictly the Buddhist architectural philosophy with many layers of buildings and three main houses.
Temple of Literature
Temple of Literature or Văn Miếu is a temple dedicated to Confucius in Hanoi, northern Vietnam. The temple also hosts the Imperial Academy, Vietnam's first national university.
Fabulous street food tour in the Old Quarter
We will try the the most delicious local specialties by street styles. My ideas for us are: Obama's noodles, Vietnamese Banhmi, egg coffee, green sticky rice with ice-cream and more upon your special request/food restrictions.
Hoa Lo Prison
Nothing prepares you for how creepy Hoa Lo Prison in Hanoi, Vietnam can be. A visit to the "Hanoi Hilton" can inspire sorrow, disgust, and, depending on your politics, different flavors of outrage.
Train street
This is really a "Woa" experience if we sit in a cafe - try an unique local coffee and witness the train passing by so closely to you.
Unlock the secrets of Hanoi Old Quarter
We will do the walking tour in the Old Quarter to discover the hidden gems of the Old town through local market, architecture, hidden alleys and tiny houses.

"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*

“Full day tour with Rose in Hanoi”
What a fantastic day with Rose, seeing the sites of Hanoi. We were picked up promptly in a clean, and very comfortable van with a friendly and excellent driver. We had already been in close contact with Rose to organise which sites to visit in the city of Hanoi. She was very time efficient, however we did not feel rushed at all. We visited Hoa Lo Prison, Temple of Literature, Train Street, street food in the Old Quarter, remnants of the B52 Bomber, some hidden alleyways and went to the famous Cafe Giang for our much anticipated, authentic Egg coffee experience !! We had an amazing lunch at Cha Ca Thang Long - so delicious and it is the best food we have eaten in Vietnam so far ! Rose is a highly experienced and professional tour guide of 15 years. Her excellent English made the day so enjoyable and memorable. Her knowledge of history, politics, culture and food is very impressive. She patiently answered all our questions and was interested in our background too. Her sense of humour made the day even more fun. She guided us across the incredibly busy roads and made us feel very comfortable at all times. We highly recommend yRose as a private tour guide for any area of Vietnam !

Dear David, I would like to thank you so much for such glowing review. This really made my day. Thank you so much for picking me as your guide for Hanoi city tour - train street and street food tour. I am so glad to manage to take you to train street (in much less toursity area) and the original egg coffee from 1946. I am so glad that you LOVED Hanoi grilled fish. As a local guide who love history, culture and cuisine, I always want to show the must and hidden gems to my clients. Thank you so much for enjoying the tour with me. Your appreciation is well noted with gratitude. With my best regards, Rose Nhung

“The best you can get”
Rose was our guide for 4 days in and around Hanoi and Ninh Binh. I would recommend everybody to hire her a your guide. First of all she is a lovely person and extremely dedicated to make sure you have the best time ever. But in addition to her personality she is very well informed about so many aspects of life, culture, and religion in Vietnam. She also knows the hidden gems, the not very touristic places to go If you have enough energy you can talk to her all day about this beatiful country. Her grasp of the english language is excellent.

Dear Buck and family, I could not know how to fully express my gratitude for such glowing review. It was my great pleasure to be your guide from Hanoi (street food tour - city tour) to Ninh Binh and then Mai Hich - a peaceful less known place. I am so happy for short time, we had done alot from tasting the best local food to learning Vietnamese history and local culture of Ethnic groups. Thank you so much again and with my best regards from Hanoi, Rose Nhung
