We had a wonderful shore excursion from Ha Long Bay to Hanoi with Trang Vu from Tours by Locals. Trang was very prompt, extremely friendly and very knowledgeable about Hanoi and its people and customs. We were able to customise the tour and Trang was very accommodating to our needs. We had a delicious lunch at a lovely restaurant in the Old Quarter. We visited some beautiful religious sites by the lakes and the highlight (for me) was the stop at Train St. Trang knew exactly when the train was coming and arranged a seat for us at one of the little coffee stalls. She had many contacts throughout the city whiich was really helpful. Trang is a lovely young woman and her driver (Dat) was also very courteous. I would 100% recommend Trang for any of your your needs in Hanoi. We had a superb day!
