Hi, I’m Katie – a Hanoi girl through and through. I was born and raised here, and for the past 9 years, I've been working as a licensed local tour guide, showing travelers the Hanoi I know and love. To me, Hanoi isn't just about famous landmarks or must-see attractions. It's the smell of fresh coffee drifting through tiny alleyways in the morning, neighbors gathering on plastic stools for a bowl of pho, hidden temples that have quietly stood for centuries, and stories that you won't find in any guidebook. Whether you're visiting Hanoi for the first time or returning to discover something new, I'd love to help you experience the city at your own pace. Every tour is relaxed, personal, and designed around your interests. Here are some of the experiences I offer: • Hanoi cultural & historical walking tours • Street food adventures • Motorbike city tours • Countryside day trips • Shore excursions for cruise travelers Besides guiding, I'm always happy to help with travel planning around Vietnam. Need recommendations for food, cafés, hidden gems, local events, or practical travel tips? Just ask me, I'm more than happy to share my favorite places and help make your trip as smooth and memorable as possible. See you in Hanoi!
