We had a full and eventful day with our excellent guide, Bay, who took us to all the main attractions. Lunch was also included and very enjoyable.
It was a lot of fun exploring the dim alleyways and discovering some of Vietnam’s best-hidden food spots.
Everything was wonderful. Our guide was kind and shared lots of interesting information. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to explore the city efficiently in just one day.
A great way to get an overview of the neighborhoods, main attractions, and how far everything is from each other. It’s really convenient to be driven around, especially with how hectic Hanoi’s traffic can be! The guide was also very friendly.
