Greetings! I'm Thuyet, with over a decade of experience as a tour guide, I'm thrilled to share the wonders of Vietnam with you. Halong - Quang Ninh Province holds a special place in my heart, being not only my birthplace but also a renowned destination honoured as one of the 7 Wonders of the World and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The breathtaking scenery and invigorating air of Halong inspired me to return after completing my studies at the university. Armed with a professional tour guide license from the Ministry of Tourism, Government of Vietnam, I lead all tours personally, ensuring an exceptional experience for each traveller. Tourism has always been my passion, leading me to pursue both undergraduate and postgraduate studies in tourism management. English is my primary language of communication, which allows me to seamlessly interact with travellers from all over the world. Throughout the years, I have had the privilege of guiding diverse groups of tourists, refining my ability to meet their needs and surpass their expectations, whether it is for a brief day trip or an extended adventure. This has provided me with the skills and experience necessary to ensure that every traveller has a superior experience, regardless of the duration or destination. My dedication to excellence has been recognized with the prestigious "Best Tourist Guide" award by the Ministry of Tourism, Government of Vietnam. I'm honoured to extend my services to visitors exploring Halong Bay or Hanoi for business or leisure. While sample tours are available for reference, I'm flexible and open to tailoring experiences to suit your preferences. Thank you for considering me as your guide. I look forward to embarking on this journey together and creating unforgettable memories with you.
