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.

“Fantastic Private Tour of Hanoi with Rose – A Memorable Day Despite the Heat”
I had the pleasure of taking a private tour of Hanoi on June 15, guided by the wonderful Rose. Despite the intense summer heat, Rose made the day incredibly engaging, informative, and enjoyable. Her deep knowledge of Hanoi’s history and culture, paired with a warm and personable approach, made this a highlight of my visit to Vietnam. We covered many of Hanoi’s most iconic and meaningful sites: the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and residence, the serene Temple of Literature, the insightful Museum of Ethnology, and the moving Hoa Lo Prison Museum (“Hanoi Hilton”). Rose also guided me through the vibrant Old Quarter and the peaceful grounds of Tran Quoc Pagoda. One unforgettable moment was sitting just steps away from the tracks on Hanoi Train Street (Kham Thien) as the train rushed by—a thrilling experience! We also strolled along the old railroad bridge over the Hong River near Dong Xuan Market, offering a unique perspective of the city. Throughout the day, Rose ensured we stayed refreshed with classic Hanoi culinary experiences: Banh Mi, Bun Cha (famously known as “Obama noodles”), sticky green rice with ice cream, and the original egg coffee shop—all delicious and perfectly timed. This tour struck the perfect balance between must-see landmarks, hidden gems, and local flavors. I highly recommend Rose to anyone looking for a thoughtful and well-paced introduction to Hanoi.

Dear Gim and family, I would like to thank you so much for such wonderful review. It was my great honor to welcome you and family to my house with hands-on cooking class. I am so glad that you loved all the food we cooked from spring roll, banana blossom salad to Obama noodles. I wish you a safe and sound flight home. With my warmest regards from Hanoi, Rose Nhung
