FROM HANOI: Legacy of Ninh Binh: Boat Ride, Natural and Hiking

Hi, I’m Katie – your local guide based in the heart of Hanoi, Vietnam. As a certified tour guide with 9 years of hands-on experience, I’ve spent nearly a decade sharing the vibrant life, rich traditions, and hidden corners of Hanoi with travelers from around the world. Born and raised in this historic capital, I’m deeply connected to its rhythms — from the early morning bustle of wet markets to the quiet charm of ancient pagodas tucked away in side streets. My passion lies in offering authentic, off-the-beaten-path experiences that go far beyond the tourist checklist. Whether it’s wandering through maze-like alleys in the Old Quarter, hopping on a motorbike to explore local neighborhoods, or enjoying a warm meal in a countryside village, I aim to help you discover the real Hanoi — the one locals live and breathe every day. I offer a variety of personalized tours, including: • Cultural & historical walks • Street food adventures • Countryside escapes • Motorbike city tours • Shore excursions for cruise travelers Beyond guiding, I love answering travel questions and helping guests plan meaningful trips across Vietnam — from visa tips and restaurant suggestions to local events and hidden spots. If you're looking for a friendly, experienced, and passionate Hanoi native to guide your journey, I’d be delighted to share my hometown with you. Let’s explore the real Hanoi — together.
