Guide #74450
Hi, I’m Katie – a Hanoi girl through and through. I was born and raised here, and for the past 9 years, I've been working as a licensed local tour guide, showing travelers the Hanoi I know and love. To me, Hanoi isn't just about famous landmarks or must-see attractions. It's the smell of fresh coffee drifting through tiny alleyways in the morning, neighbors gathering on plastic stools for a bowl of pho, hidden temples that have quietly stood for centuries, and stories that you won't find in any guidebook. Whether you're visiting Hanoi for the first time or returning to discover something new, I'd love to help you experience the city at your own pace. Every tour is relaxed, personal, and designed around your interests. Here are some of the experiences I offer: • Hanoi cultural & historical walking tours • Street food adventures • Motorbike city tours • Countryside day trips • Shore excursions for cruise travelers Besides guiding, I'm always happy to help with travel planning around Vietnam. Need recommendations for food, cafés, hidden gems, local events, or practical travel tips? Just ask me, I'm more than happy to share my favorite places and help make your trip as smooth and memorable as possible. See you in Hanoi!

Katie's was a great companion for the day for my wife and I. She took us off the beaten path and we got to see things the normal tour would have missed out on. I highly recommend Katie for this tour or any other.

A wonderful day with Katie. She was patient as we determined our itinerary so that it did not duplicate the sites my Vietnam tour would cover. We went to Bat Trang Ceramic village - a fascinating, old village, dedicated to making ceramics. We visited a nonprofit who teach deaf girls the skill of painting pottery. Then we tried to make our own pot and paint up vessel. In...

Communication with Katie was prompt and easy. Unfortunately she was ill on the scheduled date, but she did arrange for a different guide who gave us a terrific tour based on Katie’s itinerary.

December 2025Dear Donna, I was so happy that I could talk and build the Hanoi trip plan for you! It was really fun and I was so excited to welcome you in Hanoi. Unfortunately, I was sick and at the mean time, I tried to find the quickest way for your trip to happen without any interuption. I'm so sorry for this confusion but I hope you could still enjoyed the trip. Thank you so much...
