Hi, I’m Tuyen, a licensed international tour guide based in Hanoi, and I’d love to show you Vietnam beyond the usual tourist sights. 🇻🇳 I specialize in private, personalized experiences in Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, Ninh Binh and Northern Vietnam, including shore excursions for cruise travelers. Whether you’re interested in history and culture, local food, hidden corners, or simply want to explore at a relaxed pace, I’ll tailor the experience around what you enjoy. What I love most about guiding is connecting visitors with real Vietnamese life — tasting something delicious from a small local shop, wandering through a quiet alley, hearing the stories behind a historic place, or simply sharing a conversation over Vietnamese coffee. ✨ My tours are flexible, personal and stress-free. I’m happy to adjust the pace, add places you’re curious about, or suggest something special based on your interests. My goal is not simply to show you Vietnam, but to help you understand and experience it like a local. 📌 Qualifications: • Tourism graduate – Hanoi University • Licensed by Vietnam’s Ministry of Culture, Sports & Tourism • Member of Vietnam Tour Guide Association • First Aid certified I look forward to welcoming you to Vietnam and creating an experience you’ll remember long after you leave.

Today, I’m not taking you to see Hanoi. I’m taking you to understand Hanoi. Step away from the usual tourist routes and discover Hanoi through its streets, people, culture and history. We’ll explore the Old Quarter beyond its busy streets, wandering through narrow alleyways, local markets and hidden corners where everyday life unfolds. See tiny homes, unique tube houses, family businesses and local traditions that reveal how generations of Hanoians have lived. We’ll experience the unique atmosphere of Train Street and explore the history of Hoa Lo Prison before continuing to the French Quarter. Here, the atmosphere changes completely — from the intimate, lively world of the Old Quarter to broad streets, elegant colonial architecture and a more spacious urban landscape. This isn’t about checking off famous sights. It’s about understanding the different layers of Hanoi and seeing how the city’s past and present live side by side. Come walk with me and discover the real Hanoi.
Let me say how pleased I was to have Tuyen as a guide. Not only was he knowledgeable concerning the history of Hanoi and the areas we visited but his insights on the local life was eye opening. As a first time traveler to Vietnam, I was given an exclusive look at local life of the Vietnamese people. Thank you Tuyen. This is my third tour with this company and I have had nothing but the most enjoyable time spent walking the streets of Vietnam.
Tuyen is a very amazing tour guide, organized, he, really catered to our tour preference.
Tuyen brought history to life and it was a delight to have him as our guide. He responded 'beyond expectation' to all of our questions. Not only did he provide historical facts but also able to explain the cultural, social and economic impacts. We had very fruitful conversations and he always possessed a perpetual smile. Most highly recommend Tuyen as your storyteller.
Begin in the Old Quarter, leaving the busy tourist streets behind to explore local markets, narrow alleys and hidden corners. See tiny homes, tube houses, family businesses and everyday life rarely noticed by visitors. Wander through small lanes and Hang Ma Street, discovering the fascinating tradition of votive paper and other customs still woven into daily life. Continue to Hanoi’s unique train street neighborhood, where homes, cafés and the railway exist remarkably close together. Hear the stories behind this unusual part of the city. Step into Hanoi’s history at Hoa Lo Prison and explore an important chapter of Vietnam’s past. From Old Hanoi to French Hanoi Continue toward the French Quarter, where narrow, lively streets give way to broad avenues and elegant colonial architecture. By the end, you’ll have experienced two very different faces of Hanoi and gained a deeper understanding of the city beyond its famous sights. The route can be adjusted to your interests and walking pace.
