My wife and I had a half-day Hanoi tour with Trang V. We visited the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum and presidential palace, some temples/pagodas including the Temple of Literature, and the Hanoi lacquer workshop (which was totally worth a visit). It was a very enjoyable tour despite city traffic. Trang V picked us up on time at our hotel with a comfortable vehicle and driver. Her knowledge of Vietnamese history and culture was extensive. I would highly recommend this tour and guide in Hanoi.

Trang was a fantastic tour guide. She came at very short notice, and was very responsive to my mother's mobility problems. She was both very friendly and very informative.

I give Trang 5 stars and it would be ten stars if that was possible. Trang is the perfect Hanoi guide. She is enthusiastic and knowledgeable and fun. She took us into the heart of Hanoi where the ordinary people live and eat. We learned what locals eat, what it costs and what people earn each month. She also provides insight into the life of a typical Hanoi resident and particularly students. Pick Trang because she will provide an amazing Hanoi experience.
