Vietnam Private Tours & Local Tour Guides

Q: How many days are ideal for Vietnam?

Generally, 7–10 days in Vietnam is enough to get a gasp of the country’s greatest highlights, and see glimpses of Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh and Nha Trang (if you want to squeeze it in). Honestly, though, you could spend two weeks in Vietnam and never run out of sights and sounds.

Q: What are some useful Vietnamese phrases?

- Hello: Xin chào (seen chow) - Thank you: Cảm ơn (gauhm uhn) - Excuse me: Xin lỗi (seen luh-ee) - I want to buy: Tôi muốn mua (toy muh-own moo-ah) - How much does it cost?: Bao nhiêu tiền? (baow nyew tien) - Can I have one please?: Cho tôi xin một cái (chow toy seen mot cái) - I am vegetarian: Ăn chay (an chay) - One, two, three: Một, hai, ba (một, hai, ba) - I don't understand: Tôi không hiểu (toy khom hyu) - Good night: Chúc ngủ ngon (chewk ngoo ngawn)

Q: When is the best time to visit Vietnam?

Generally speaking, the best time to visit Vietnam is between November and April , as this is when it’s the most comfortable in terms of temperature, as well as the driest period, in terms of rainfall. However, Vietnam’s weather varies by region.

Q: Is it easy to book tours in Vietnam?

Yes! Even if you’re not sure where to start your journey, head to our Vietnam local guides page and click on the profiles that stick out to you. You can see which tours match your travel schedule (Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh, Da Nang and so on), and book instantly, or message a guide to create your own tour with their suggestions for you and your travel group. Looking to relax, have a thrilling adventure, or learn about history? Let the guide know, and they’ll give some amazing suggestions.

Q: Can you tour Vietnam on your own?

While this depends on your preferences, touring Vietnam’s major cities has been made less difficult with the spread of English in tourist areas (Vietnam ranks number 58 out of 113 non-native English countries). But guides are so much more than language translators. They provide safety, historical, cultural and social context, and they save a lot of time that could be spent zipping from one venue to the next, or getting lost.

Q: Should I go to Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi?

This is a tough one! But each city offers something different, so here’s a quick comparison. Hanoi is the capital, so it’s ideal for travelers looking for history and culture. Hanoi captivates visitors with its charming Old Quarter, serene lakes, and centuries-old temples. As Vietnam's capital, it offers a more traditional and laid-back atmosphere compared to Ho Chi Minh City. Ho Chi Minh is ideal for daily excitement, so it's ideal for travelers interested in urban exploration, nightlife, and a bustling street food scene. Also known as Saigon, it has a deep wartime history that some travelers might find interesting.

Q: Is Vietnam safe for a solo female traveler?

Yes! Based on data from Travel Ladies, Vietnam is ranked the 8th safest travel country for solo women travelers. With that said, it’s best to keep the following tips in mind. Dress conservatively. Keep your cash, card and valuables in a safe place. When touring, use legitimate, recommended Vietnam tour guides .

Q: Where should I go for the first time in Vietnam?

Depending on which city you’re headed to, here are some key travel points and adventures you should consider for your first trip to Vietnam; Hanoi’s Highlights Hoan Kiem Lake and Ngoc Son Temple Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum Temple of Literature Old Quarter Hoa Lo Prison Ho Chi Minh’s (Saigon) Highlights Ben Thanh Market War Remnants Museum Notre Dame Cathedral Reunification Palace Bitexco Financial Tower Nha Trang’s Highlights Nha Trang Beach Vinpearl Amusement Park Long Son Pagoda Hon Chong Promontory Po Nagar Cham Towers Da Nang Highlights Marble Mountains My Khe Beach Dragon Bridge Son Tra Peninsula (Monkey Mountain) Han River Bridge

Hi, I’m Minh, your local guide in Hanoi! This city is my hometown, and to me, it’s so much more than just a place—it’s filled with warm, welcoming people and unforgettable experiences. As a local guide, I'm excited to share hidden gems, delicious street food (I’m a big foodie!), and fascinating stories about Hanoi’s history. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

I'm thinking about why we travel: some looking for fun; but some looking for something they don't know they need in their life; but our instinct is calling for it. Tripping away your familiar routine, your language, and your comfort zone, you let yourself into uncertainty; some discover more about themselves in that uncertainty. So, what can I do as your tour guide? - to make your trips more comfortable? To provide information? Of course, I can do that. But more than that, I'd like to work more in that "uncertainty".

We were so lucky to meet Rose! She was amazing. She was very knowledgeable and showed us all the great spots. Some were not the typical tourist spots. What made our time with Rose so amazing was not only her knowledge and the locations she took us to, but her personality. She was so much fun to hang out with. Anything we needed she helped us with. What a gem! Thanks Rose.

“She Made Our Day in Hanoi Amazing!”

This was honestly the BEST day of our trip to Vietnam!!!!! She took us to Hanoi Train Street, the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, the Temple of Literature, and Hoa Lo Prison. She was incredibly knowledgeable and explained everything really well. We asked her so many questions throughout the day, not only about the places we visited, but also about what everyday life is like for people in Hanoi, the culture, and local life. She answered every question we had and taught us so much about the city. One of my favorite parts was the food:):) She took us to a really local restaurant and café that we probably never would have found on our own. The food was seriously amazing and easily the best food I had during our 5-day trip! She was super friendly, easy to talk to, and made the whole day really fun. It didn’t feel like a typical tourist tour at all. We got to learn about the history while also getting a real feel for what life in Hanoi is actually like. She made our day in Hanoi amazing!!!!!! I’m so glad we booked this tour and would 100% recommend her to anyone visiting Hanoi!

“Absolutely perfect experience”

If you are looking for a guide in Hanoi, please consider Rose! I was so very happy with her guidance and believe she has the knowledge and ability to customize any tour and activity you could possibly want in the area. I will be recommending her to friends and family that visit Hanoi, and hope to hire her again if I return! I hired Nhung N. (English nickname Rose) for 2 days for a flexible tour of Hanoi including tailoring, food recommendations, and some local culture/history. I truly could not be more happy with my experience with her. She was patient and listened extremely well, both directly as well as picked up on things I may be interested in and recommended. She had a very positive, kind vibe to her that felt authentic. The first day she recruited a personal driver, brought us to Lang Van Phuc (silk village), explained extensive history, brought us to Obama Noodles and taught us about how to eat Bun Cha (pork noddles), brought us to Phu Tay Ho to see the temple, and lastly took us to the women’s museum, personally explaining the history, all while acting as a translator. She also challenged us to learn some words in Vietnamese! The second day was more focused on tailoring and fabrics, in which she was extremely patient with explaining our wants and needs. She then brought us to some shops we were interested in, and took us to eat some of the best food I’ve had at a restaurant locals love (and she personally goes to). Again, she was very patient with our constant and specific questions about local cultures, histories, and norms. She also worked to get us discounts without being asked, advised us on a culturally sensitive inquiry of an object taken by a US soldier, was comfortable speaking about her family and personal life/past, was flexible with last minute changes to plans, stayed in consistent contact before and during the planned tour dates, and responded quickly and reached out to get more info to further personalize the tours.

Nhung N.

Dear Ms. Hannah, I could not know how to fully express my sincerest gratitude for your kind choice on my services & your glowing review. Thank you so much for your sharing your experience with me. It was truly my great honor to be your guide 2 days in Hanoi. I sincerely wish to welcome you back one day. Words cannot express enough my thanks. I wish you a fabulous trip ahead. With my best regards, Rose Nhung
