I'm Leon L., your private tour guide in Hanoi

Guide #4309

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.

    Leon was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Hanoi. He was also wonderful when I needed to take a break due to the heat and humidity. He found me a cafe with AC and we talked about Hanoi while we enjoyed a cold drink. Leon was very personable and if I were to return to Vietnam, I wouldn't hesitate to book him again.

    Our two days with Leon made us fall in love with Hanoi and Vietnam. Leon is most knowledgeable, personable, and has a fascinating perspective on Vietnam’s culture and history. Leon’s service stands out in that he is willing to personalize the whole itinerary to you individually. When he heard we were headed to the train station right after our tour, he insisted on booking...

    Leon was a great guide and we really enjoyed learning about the history of Ha Noi and Viet Nam from Leon. I would highly recommend Leon for a guide.
