Dear friends from around the world. My name is Tai, and I was born and lived in Hanoi for many years.

With a degree from the prestigious Hanoi Foreign Trade University and specialized training in tourism, I boast over a decade of experience as a tour guide, having led more than 1, 000 tours and welcomed over 3, 000 tourists from 30 different countries. Among my proudest moments was the privilege of guiding Australian Prime Minister, Ms. Hon Julia Gillard MP, during her visit to Vietnam in 2010, as well as accompanying United States Trade Representative, Mr. Jon Kirk, during his visit in 2012. These experiences have not only enriched my understanding of Vietnam but also strengthened my commitment to providing authentic insights about Vietnam to friends from all over the world.

Moreover, with fluency in both English and Chinese, I can effortlessly bridge cultural gaps and reveal hidden gems known only to locals. 2. SENSITIVITY AND FLEXIBILITY From the initial inquiry to the completion of the tour, I prioritize attention to detail and customer satisfaction. In addition, I strive to create a comfortable and inclusive environment for all, respecting cultural differences while accommodating specific personal needs throughout the journey. 3. SENSE OF HUMOR With a natural flair for humour, I infuse each tour with warmth and levity, fostering a relaxed atmosphere and ensuring maximum enjoyment for all guests. 4. UNWAVERING ENTHUSIASM My passion for Vietnam shines through in every interaction, as I take immense joy in sharing my homeland with visitors. Rest assured, your journey will be guided by a caring and dedicated companion. I am passionate about my home country and would like to welcome you not just as a personal guest, but also as a lifelong friend. 5.

Embark on a 3-hour walking tour with me and dive into Hanoi's vibrant street food scene, rich culture, and fascinating history. Unlike typical street food experiences in other major cities, Hanoi offers a diverse culinary landscape. On this tour, you'll have the chance to sample 8 to 10 different authentic dishes from local food stalls and family-run restaurants. As a private tour, your experience is fully flexible and personalized. I will tailor the culinary journey to your preferences, expertly explaining each dish and eloquently answering all your questions, ensuring a memorable and delicious adventure.
Tai was so knowledge about Hanoi history, culture, and especially food! We learned so much from him and enjoyed getting to know him!
Tai gave us a brilliant insight into Hanoi street culture and community. He customised our tour to suit our interests and took an interest in what we wanted to see. Well worth it and would certainly use Tai again on future trips.
Tai was a wonderful guide. Not only did he take us to places we never would have found on our own he also provided information on Hanoi itself and how to deal with that crazy busy traffic. Made us feel very full and very comfortable making our way around. Would recommend Tai as a guide to anyone considering doing a street food tour - and this particular tour if you want a fantastic overall experience of Hanoi and the food on offer.
Tai is super friendly and extremely knowledgeable about Hanoi. We were jet lagged and very tired toward the end of the tour, and he was very accommodating to make sure we enjoyed ourselves as much as possible. Highly recommended.
We got to try so many different foods and Tai looked after us extremely well. He attended to all our wishes and didn't limit our tour to just food. We loved Tai and how much he helped us understand his wonderful city. He had a ton of knowledge to keep us intrigued and taught us a lot. Would visit again just see our new friend, Tai ❤️
Tai was an incredible guide! Very knowledgeable about all food and took me to fantastic places to eat. Since I was alone and got full quickly, he improvised tour to show me different interesting places/temples and was excellent in explaining history of everything. Tai is excellent ambassador for Hanoi! He is very friendly and fun. I enjoyed his company very much and hated for my time with him to end! Would give 10 stars if I could!
