Greetings! My name is Thuyet, and with over a decade of experience as a professional tour guide, I am delighted to share the beauty and rich culture of Vietnam with you. Halong – Quang Ninh Province holds a very special place in my heart. It is not only my hometown but also a world-famous destination, recognized as one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Inspired by its breathtaking landscapes and refreshing sea air, I returned home after completing my university studies to dedicate myself to introducing this remarkable region to travellers from around the world. I hold an International Tour Guide License issued by the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism, and I personally lead all of my tours to ensure each guest receives attentive, high-quality service. Tourism has always been my true passion, which led me to pursue both undergraduate and postgraduate studies in tourism management. With English as my primary working language, I comfortably connect with travellers from many different countries and cultural backgrounds. Over the years, I have guided a wide variety of groups — from short day trips to extended journeys — continuously refining my ability to understand guests’ needs and exceed their expectations. My goal is always to create meaningful, enjoyable, and memorable experiences, regardless of the tour’s length or destination. I am honored to have received the “Best Tourist Guide” award from the Ministry of Tourism of Vietnam in recognition of my dedication and service excellence. Whether you are visiting Halong Bay or Hanoi for business or leisure, I would be pleased to accompany you. While sample itineraries are available for your reference, I am always happy to customize tours to perfectly match your interests and preferences. Thank you very much for considering me as your guide. I look forward to welcoming you and creating unforgettable memories together.
