Dear friends from around the world. My name is Tai, and I was born and lived in Hanoi for many years. With a deep affection for the old and historically significant city, I have a strong passion for showcasing the city's unique beauty to international visitors in ways that they may not have experienced before. 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.

Located about 70 km southwest of Hanoi in the stunning Huong Son (Perfume Mountain) area, Perfume Pagoda is a true highlight of the region and one of Vietnam's most significant Buddhist sites. The pagoda complex is beautifully integrated into dramatic limestone cliffs, accessible only by a serene boat journey and a picturesque walk up winding mountain paths. On this tour, you'll glide along scenic waterways and ascend steep trails, discovering ancient pagodas and temples built here over centuries.

Depart for Perfume Pagoda (60km west), with a 20-min break to see local handicrafts. 10:00 AM: Arrive and enjoy a scenic 40-minute boat ride along the river, admiring streams and paddy fields. 11:00 AM: Hike up to the unique Huong Tich Cave (Perfume Pagoda) on the mountain summit (2.5km).
