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.

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

More customized options I can offer for your kind consideration.

Rose has been excellent from the outset helping us with our arrangements and tickets for the Water Puppet show before we’d even set off for our trip. Always attentive to our needs, Rose has an infectious energy and enthusiasm for guiding. We asked to adjust our plans through the 2 days and Rose kindly did so in real time. Thank you Rose.

“Wonderful experience with a phenomenal guide.”
During our short visit to Hanoi, we spent a day with Rose touring the sights, learning the history, and eating some amazing food. After she met us at our hotel, we started at the Hanoi Hilton. Rose shared her extensive knowledge of its history and provided great insight. She then took us to Train Street where we got trackside seats at a cafe. Before the train arrived, she toured us around some small alleys in the area and we saw some local homes. Then back to the cafe for the exhilarating experience of having the train pass us by approximately one foot away from our front row seats. After seeing the train, she took us for lunch. First we tried Bun Cha (Obama noodles) down a little alley that we never would have found by ourselves. They were so good. Next, Rose brought us for delicious Banh Mi sandwiches. It was the best one I have had in Vietnam to date. She offered to take us for grilled fish next, but we had already eaten our fill. So although it sounded good, we passed. Our next stop was to try egg coffee. I wasn't expecting to like it, but I was pleasantly surprised and found it delightful. After lunch, we ended our day at the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum where, once again, Rose's knowledge of the history was truly appreciated. Rose then brought us back to our hotel where we parted ways after a spectacular tour. Overall, it was an enlightening day and Rose was a wonderful guide. Her excellent command of English combined with her warmth and personality created a lasting impression. We made some great memoried and we highly recommend taking a tour with Rose. You won't regret it!
