My name is Leon, I used to live in Germany for 12 years before coming back to Viet Nam and becoming a tour guide in 2004. Thanks to the 12 years living in Germany, I have excellent communication skills in English, German and speak good French. However, this is not my main strength, as a hobby traveller, I used to travel all around Europe and now started my discovery journeys around Asia. Whenever I travel, I have only 1 wish, I wish to meet somebody who will regard me as a good friend and show me the places that a usual tourist won't be able to see. Understanding that point, I turned myself to that person here in Viet Nam for all other visitors. I usually say, when you contact me then you are my client, when we meet then we are still strangers, but when we go on the tour then I am a friend of yours. My private tours around Vietnam and unique Hanoi tours will show you things that you neither find on any travel map nor any guide books. Going on a private charter trip with me will make your trip unique, filled with unforgettable memories and enrich your experiences through the deep looks into the country. And all that is my promise to you! - Certificate in sustainable Tourism - Certificate in learning Vietnamese History and Culture - Test Deutsch als Fremdsprache (TestDaf) 20/20 - Bachelor Degree in Business and Tourism Management (Phuong Dong University) - Bachelor Degree in Linguistics - Master Degree in Linguistic Science (University of Cambridge) - Awarded with "Best Tour guide" for 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013 and 2015 by Hapro Travel, Ami Tour, ViTour and Friends Travel Vietnam - I am not a driver, but I always arrange suitable cars with drivers, motorbikes, bicycles and pedicabs for the tours.

In this tour you will track back the history of Ha Noi, explore its present and help to create a better future. Explore with me the hidden alleys inside the Old Quarter and the secret passages that the usual tourists will skip. See with your own eyes the real daily life of the Hanoi people and experience with all your senses what it means to live in a communist country with an open market.
After the pick up at your hotel, we will visit the Temple of Literature and the Ho Chi Minh Complex. Enjoy your lunch at a local street food restaurant that has been operated by the family for over 50 years, however it is now struggling to keep itself alive as the big companies are taking the land to build fancy buildings and apartment complexes. Visit this genuine traditional restaurant when you still can as it is unsure how much longer the owner can keep this family business. After the meal we will explore the Old Quarter on foot. Explore with me the hidden alleys, a secret school deep inside the narrow passages and a fabulous hidden coffee shop inside an old french colonial style building. After the walk and exploration I will escort you back to your hotel.
