Imagine having someone who lives and breathes Hanoi spill its secrets. That's what local guides bring to the table. They know the hidden alleys, the best bites, and stories that never made it to the guidebooks. Whether you're into munching through food tours, wandering the city's streets, or going off the beaten path, a local guide hooks you up with a private tour that's authentically Hanoi.
The best part? These tours are all about you. No herding in big groups or rushing through places you're not interested in. With private tours, you're the boss.

But it doesn't stop at city limits. Day trips let you escape the urban jungle and explore nearby wonders. And if you're just setting foot in Hanoi, kickstart tours give you a taste of everything. Think of it as a crash course in Hanoi awesomeness, guided by a local who knows the city like the back of their hand.
So, next time you're in Hanoi, ditch the ordinary. Grab a local tour and unlock the city's real magic – the stories, flavors, and places that make it uniquely Hanoi. Get ready to explore like a local!
"Trang Chu was excellent from start to finish. A warm and engaging guide, keen to ensure we got the most out of our time with her.
Fabulous foods from locations off the main tourist thoroughfares and it was worth it. Tasty, fresh and plentiful. She even took us for a beer on train street."
"My husband and I spent an enjoyable and energized afternoon learning about Hanoi's food scene with Ruby. We enjoyed the dishes we got to try, and this was tge highlight of our 24 hour stay in Hanoi."

Wonderful tour!
"Trang is very lovely and super flexible. She gave us a great tour of the old town and prison and helped us find the best deals at the market. Highly reccomend a tour with her!"
"We spent the evening with Ruby doing her 10 stop food tour and couldn’t have been happier, she was absolutely fantastic especially with our 5yr old daughter.
She knew all the hidden spots and local specialties, if you are here in Hanoi and want an authentic and delicious food experience she is your guide.
Full of local knowledge and excited to show off her amazing city.
Tim + Tish & Harriet"
"Ruby is amazing, from the minute I booked she was able to help curate a itinerary that fit what I was looking for. She was extremely personable, knowledgeable, and my personal photographer for the day 🥰
I'd highly recommend booking some time with Ruby to see Hanoi, I wish I had more time to explore! "
"My girlfriend and I had a lovely trip with Hang. Hang took us to a nice and quiet local fishing spot where we fished and had lunch. Unfortunately we did not catch any fish, but we had 4 bites. Hang was helpful and very passionate and during lunch we shared stories and anecdotes. Hang gave us tips on where to go during our stay in Hanoi. Can warmly recommend!"
"Would definitely recommend booking, we discovered many nice spots and tried new food. Loan is also great company! "

Fantastic Walking Tour
"It was our first time in Hanoi and Lien had seven women with whom she had to appease. Everyone wanted something a little different and Lien didn't disappoint. She was able to accommodate us with a special walking tour. I appreciate her time and knowledge about her city. I will use her again and the price was worth it."
