As a certified tour guide with 9 years of hands-on experience, I’ve spent nearly a decade sharing the vibrant life, rich traditions, and hidden corners of Hanoi with travelers from around the world.

My passion lies in offering authentic, off-the-beaten-path experiences that go far beyond the tourist checklist. Whether it’s wandering through maze-like alleys in the Old Quarter, hopping on a motorbike to explore local neighborhoods, or enjoying a warm meal in a countryside village, I aim to help you discover the real Hanoi — the one locals live and breathe every day. I offer a variety of personalized tours, including: • Cultural & historical walks • Street food adventures • Countryside escapes • Motorbike city tours • Shore excursions for cruise travelers Beyond guiding, I love answering travel questions and helping guests plan meaningful trips across Vietnam — from visa tips and restaurant suggestions to local events and hidden spots.
