        Terrific Day in Hanoi
        Anh was absolutely terrific showing us the main historical sites in Hanoi! He was engaging, answered all of our questions about Vietnam’s history and did everything we asked of him. A highlight was the coffee shop he took us to where we had egg coffee - prepared right at our table! The last day of a 4 week trip couldn’t have been better! I highly recommend his services!

        Book this guide! He’s great.
        We had a great day with Anh. He was a wonderful guide for the day and his English was excellent. He has a driver with him so it made it so easy to get off at sites without worrying about parking. We had a delightful day together and ended with a cup of egg coffee and white wine for me!

        Knowledgable guide
        Anh was most helpful, not merely taking us from one food outlet to another in the old city, but commenting upon the history of Hanoi, the remnants of French architecture and the working lives of the population - he was also a good example of how to cross the city streets when motorcycles seem to come from every direction!

        A Wonderful Hanoi Experience
        This was an excellent tour in every respect. I was doing a S-E Asia cruise by myself. When I saw that the ship would be docked for two nights in Halong Bay, I wanted to see Hanoi, but the ship did not offer a one- day excursion in/ out of Hanoi that appealed to me. I had some ideas of what I wanted to see but no idea of where in Hanoi those sites were, how to get to them, or the amount of time it would all take. My travel agent found Anh ( Cao Thien) , an independent Tour Guide / Operator in Hanoi, to provide me with what I was looking for and I could not have been more satisfied. Anh connected directly with me by email to ascertain what I wanted to see and planned our route and schedule accordingly, to customize and maximize my experience in the time available. He picked me up right at the ship and ensured that I returned to it well in time for sailing, without any stress. He took me to see everything that I wanted to see and more! In addition, he managed to work in two wonderful Vietnamese meals at local establishments that I would never have found on my own, all in an efficient but relaxed and friendly ambiance that made me feel totally comfortable. Anh was ( and is) organized, reliable, friendly, knowledgeable about Vietnamese history and culture and enjoys sharing that knowledge with his customers, whether individuals or groups and I highly recommend him!

        FANTASTIC TOUR GUIDE - JUST BOOK IT
        Excellent Custom tour! Ahn was a fantastic guide, after I contacted him via email, we discussed a couple of different options for a full two days and finalised the itinerary. On the days themselves we then adapted the order depending on the weather and other extenuating factors. He did this effortlessly and with our best interests at heart. Ahn is a polite and professional guide that has excellent English language skills. He answers questions thoroughly and correctly and now we have toured Cambodia and Vietnam more thoroughly, we truly appreciate these skills!( Hanoi was our first stop) We would thoroughly recommend Ahn to any party looking to explore Hanoi and its surrounding areas. Don’t hesitate !!!!

        Incense making
        Great explanations and interesting tour to see how incense were made. Beautiful picture to be taken at the yard and no rush at all. Great way to end the tour before heading to the airport as this is less than 3 hrs in total.

        Good tour if short on time
        Mr. Hoang was our guide for the half-day tour. He was a super lovely guy who was very knowledgeable about all things in Hanoi. Brought us around in a car to various temples and to the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum, where we managed to just arrive in time before the queue was closed. Great tour if you’re in town for a short time. Super friendly too, so no hesitation in recommending.

        Fantastic tour guide!
        We had Ahn as our tour guide for a city tour (and later for a food tour) of Hanoi. He was fantastic. He’s friendly, very knowledgeable about the history of the city (and Vietnam as a whole), and was very patient as we asked questions. We'd highly recommend him for any visit!

        Wonderful Day with a Terrific Guide Anh!
        We took a full-day Hanoi city tour with Anh and had the most wonderful day! Anh is a very nice person and is so knowledgeable about the city and the history of Vietnam. He took us to some key historical sites and also showed us some local neighborhoods so we could learn about the local culture. We learned so much! In addition, before we even arrived in Hanoi he provided us with guidance about obtaining visas and hiring shuttles. We cannot say enough nice things about Anh, and we highly recommend his services to anyone traveling to Hanoi. He is the best!

        Superb Day Tour of Ninh Binh
        Did a private one day tour with Anh on 5 Dec 2022. We visited the temples at Hao Lu, climbed the Lying Dragon Mountain and went to Tam Coc town for a Vietnamese lunch. Anh (who has 2 Degrees!) was knowledgeable and we learnt a lot about Vietnamese history and culture. The trip was well- planned by Anh, communication was prompt and excellent. Transportation was safe and clean. We truly enjoyed the trip very much. Can't recommend enough!

        Highly recommended tour guide
        It was indeed a great experience visiting Hanoi and Anh and his team did a great job in arranging the tour including meals with good selection. Although I was little hesitant to take the risk to just book him by just reading reviews in the beginning but there was no regrets as he was helpful even to decide on the itinerary.

        Fantastic Experience with Anh
        We had an excellent experience touring the major landmarks of Hanoi. We were able to see and learn about many aspects of the city in just one day. Anh was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our questions. He is kind, friendly, and we enjoyed spending our day with him. He coordinated all of the day’s activities, including transportation and tickets, smoothly and efficiently. We highly recommend taking this tour of Hanoi.

        Fabulous day trip
        We had an amazing time with Anh he had great communication skills. He was prompt. He has a passion for Vietnam. He gave us several options to choose from. He hired an excellent (safe) driver to escort us. We had such a great day doing this tour. Not only do I recommend doing this day tour, I recommend Anh as the guide. He takes his job seriously. Five stars all The way!

        Great Tour Guide Highly Recommend
        Mr. Ang was a great tour guide. His knowledge was excellent and his flexibility was appreciated. He knew the best times to go to each site and we covered all of Hanoi in one day and it was not rushed at all. I have no hesitation in recommending him. You will learn so much from him.

        Great Trip
        This is a great tour of Halong Bay. Four hours on the cruise is perfect to take in the sights. Our tour guide showed us many of the different islands and took us to a fascinating cave.
