We enjoyed the tour a lot! Shalia took a lot of time for us and adjusted the tour to our interests, even spontaneously, which was really awesome!
We met at 8:30 at our hotel and we needed to withdraw local money (because we just arrived to VN the night before), so she walked shortly with us to the ATM, which didn’t work, so she kindly helped us to find the bank. Afterwards we went to the Vietnam Military History Museum, which just freshly opened in the new building, and Shalia explained us a lot about the history, we learned a lot. We spent there quite some time till noon and went to a nice restaurant afterwards. She helped us with taxis and restaurant she chose was awesome! Afterwards, we went to the Hoa Lo Prison, which was around the corner, and there we learned also a lot of interesting things! Briefly on the way we saw the famous train street and Shalia showed it to us as well because we got curious - it was an amazing experience.
She also answered a lot of our questions about Vietnam in general, which was great!
Of course, if you book this tour, you should pay for the food/entrance for the guide as well, but these are small additional expenses (+ you might want to give tips at the end)
We were glad that we booked this tour! Highly recommended!

Our family of 4 knew we would arrive early AM and so we decided to organise a street food tour for lunch. I managed to book it for the next day easily whilst in transit changing flights. When we arrived at our hotel and connected to WiFi they had sent a welcome message via WhatsApp with details. We asked to postpone by an hour as our daughter didn't sleep on the flight and crashed as soon as we arrived. Also my wife is gluten free which we noted on booking and again they said no problem to our requests. Jenna our guide was a final year student at university and truly lovely. She had a very easy going manner and our girls especially got on so well with her. We loved the food places we visited and sampled lots of different dishes in 2 or 3 places. We then asked to visit the lake and Jenna said no problem and explained all the history of the lake and we took lots of pictures. She then walked us back to our hotel (where she came to meet us also at the start). Our tour was 3 hours in total and the guides don't get paid they are volunteering so it's important to tip them generously if you had a great time as we did.

It has been a super complete tour, Hanoi city is amazing and Gracie has been super friendly to us. He has told us a lot of curiosities about the city, his way of explaining made us want to know more and we have not stopped asking things, he has answered us all and even gave us more information about it. He has even told us where to eat and even where to change money. It's been short for us. I recommend it 100%. If I come back, I will not hesitate to contact her.

Booked a booking tour to see the city in 1 day in the company of a local and I can say that it was the best decision! We were given a tour by the wonderful Hoa and Dung girls. All our wishes were taken into account, we visited all the planned places, ate at the local cafe, drank the famous egg coffee, viewed the street with the train. This is a great opportunity to dive into the local flavor and learn more about the city! We were excited about the walk! Thank you!!

Gracie is an amazing tour guide who knows very well about the history of Hanoi, how the city and it’s monumental landscape has developed over the years. She was very helpful in explaining about the culture, society and history behind Vietnam from prehistoric times to modern days.
I would highly recommend her for guided tours of Hanoi and its monuments.

We visited the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum and then the museum in Hanoi. When we entered we were approached by Lily and Anna who are students, offering us a free guided tour of the museum. We accepted, and they are the two loveliest girls you could meet in Vietnam. They were so keen to share the history of their country with us and spoke fantastic English
They made it very interesting and were keen to share stories about our country too. I want to thank them so much for their time and patience with us as it was very noisy with lots of school children which sometimes made it difficult to hear them. But they persevered with us. They walked with us to the one pillar pagoda and we had a really nice conversation with them. Thank you again Lily and Anna, you were brilliant! From Andrea and Kevin

The friendly and knowledgeable Linh, with help from her partner Thuy, gave us a fantastic tour of various sites in Hanoi, some prearranged and some at her suggestion as we progressed. We saw the beautiful Temple of Literature, the island temple on the Short Lake, and the ancient house in the Old Quarter, along with everyday street scenes. We had interesting chats as we walked about the history, education and culture of Vietnam. Linh was enthusiastic about her country and speaks good English, and Thuy had a lot of information to share too. It was great to spend time with two young Hanoi people who want to share the beauty of their city and improve their English. Thank you both!

My Sapa tour guide introduced me to the free guide service while I was travelling from Sapa to Hanoi. I am grateful that this last-minute (less than a day's notice) arrangement was made possible.
12 of us planned to cover Ho Chin Ming Musume and Prison Relic within half a day but realised later that we were too ambitious. Eventually, we only covered part of HCM Musume and went on to the Prison Relic tour. We also had lunch and a coffee break in between.
The part I enjoyed most in this tour was the chit-chat session with Linh at a cafe where we understood better about the local's lifestyle and society, and definitely the prison relic tour. Thanks to Linh, our tour guide, who SHOWED us how the locals brave through the sufferings in the war. I can feel the heart of those heroes and heroines!
This was indeed a memorable trip! All the best for your last Uni year, Linh!

Thank you for using our service and for your feedback.
We are so glad that you and Linh had such a good time together. With the information you shared, we are sorry that you have a little regret in your journey. However, there's one detail that I would like to verify with you: in half a day, you visited the whole Ho Chi Minh museum and Hoa Lo prison, then enjoyed Hanoi cuisine with Cong coffee and banh gio. Perhaps you have had a bit of confusion between Ho Chi Minh museum and Hochiminh Complex - the stilt house and Ba Dinh square and the architecture you wanted to go to is located in the Ho Chi Minh complex, not in the Ho Chi Minh museum. We regret that due to time reasons, Linh was not able to take you to visit the whole Hochiminh complex as it usually takes 4 hours to fully explore this area.
Hanoi Free Private Tour Guides hope that we can accompany you on your next trip and we will prepare well for a visit to Hochiminh Complex if you wish.
Best regards,
