Meeting Point
At your hotel
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.

“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.

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

“wonderful day”
We had a fantastic day exploring Hanoi with our tour guide! Everything was exceptionally well organized, and she was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. She shared lots of interesting information and gave us a wonderful insight into the city and its culture. What we appreciated most was her flexibility and personal approach. She listened carefully to our wishes and adapted the itinerary whenever we wanted to make a change. We never felt that we had to follow a standard tourist program — the entire day was tailored to our interests, which made the experience truly special. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Hanoi. We would absolutely love to come back and explore more with her again! Thank you for such a wonderful day!

Dear Peter, I can’t thank you enough for your wonderful review and kind words. It truly means so much to me! It was such a pleasure spending the day with you and sharing the charm, culture, and everyday life of Hanoi. I’m especially happy that we had the chance to explore Hanoi beyond its busy streets, wandering through little alleys, discovering hidden corners, enjoying some of Hanoi’s unique coffees, and sharing delicious local dishes along the way. These simple moments, the stories we shared, and the little discoveries we made together are what make days like this so meaningful to me as a guide. I’m truly grateful that you enjoyed our time together, and I would love to welcome you back to Vietnam someday to discover more beautiful places and create more wonderful memories together. Until then, I wish you all the best, many happy adventures, and beautiful memories wherever your travels take you! With my best regards, Rose Nhung
