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.

Throughout its thousand-year history, today, Hanoi is developing rapidly, yet still maintains its own unique characters and traditional values including the Old Quarter as well as numerous temples and pagodas. The History and Religion tour will help you explore the highlights of Hanoi including Tran Quoc pagoda, Quan Thanh temple, one pillar pagoda, Temple of Literature, Hoa Lo prison, Vietnam historical museum. I will help you to track back the history of Ha Noi, finding remains of the history in the present and giving you a full understanding of this imperfect but still breath-taking city.
We will meet each other in the lobby of your hotel. Starting the tour you will be brought back to the time when the West Lake was wild and free, this is the time when the Tran Quoc pagoda was built. Leaving Tran Quoc pagoda behind us, we will head to the next stage of history, the time when Vietnam has to fought against foreign feudal conquerors, the time when Quan Thanh temple was built. Leaving the big bronze statue in Quan Thanh temple behind us, we will visit the Ho Chi Minh complex, a must for all those who want to get to know the patriotic history of Vietnam. At the Temple of Literature (Van Mieu - Quoc Tu Giam) you will see that Vietnamese always were fond of studying. But before, that we will enjoy a fantastic traditional Vietnamese cuisine. At the Hoa Lo prison and the Vietnam historical museum you will see the "modern" history of Vietnam. At the end of the tour, you will (depending on your wish) enjoy a cyclo trip around Hoan Kiem Lake and finish up the day with a relaxing Spa massage.
