Hi, I’m Jackie Vu. Welcome to Hanoi and Halong! I offer private tours for travelers who want to discover Vietnam’s famous sights and get a closer look at everyday local life. Whether you’re exploring Hanoi’s Old Quarter, tasting Vietnamese food, or visiting Halong during a cruise stop, I’ll help you make the most of your time. In Hanoi, we can combine historic landmarks with neighborhood walks, local eateries and a relaxing coffee break. In Halong and Quang Ninh, we can explore the bay, local markets and cultural sites, depending on your interests and schedule. My approach is friendly, practical and flexible. I enjoy sharing local stories, helping you understand what you see, and leaving time for questions and conversation. We can adjust the pace to suit your group, with breaks along the way. For cruise passengers, I plan the itinerary around your ship’s arrival and all-aboard times. Before booking, we’ll confirm the meeting point, travel time and what can comfortably fit into your visit. I personally guide my tours. When transport is needed, I can arrange a private air-conditioned vehicle with a professional driver. Each itinerary clearly explains the transport arrangements and what is included. Traveling as a couple, with family or with friends? Tell me your interests, group size and preferred date. I’ll help you choose a suitable tour or create a personalized itinerary. I look forward to welcoming you and sharing Hanoi and Halong with you. Jackie Vu
