We had a marvellous day with Hannah. She is great company and very informative about Hanoi and the history of Vietnam. She was very flexible in our timetable and our choices of sites to visit, and made every effort to make our visit memorable. Many thanks Hannah!

Had a great time with Hannah touring the many sites of Hanoi. I asked to visit the Museum of Ethnology and she adjusted and customized the tour accordingly. That turned out to be the highlight of the tour as I spent a few hours enjoying the excellent exhibits at the museum. Hannah also made some great recommendations for shopping and the bun cha for lunch was simply amazing. All in all, I had a fantastic time on a cool, rainy Hanoi day and I would highly recommend taking a tour with Hannah.
