This tour was amazing for those who may want to get off of the beaten path of just the old quarter and food. The guides were quite knowledgeable and were able to speak intelligently about many aspects of the typical Vietnamese lifestyle. I highly recommend this experience!
I had a great time on this tour. Kien is a great guide with loads of interesting insight to share. Definitely a worthwhile experience.
An incredibly unique experience walking around neighbourhoods that are off the beaten tourist routes! Quang’s expert knowledge is super handy as you get to experience a really local side of things! As it’s a group tour, you also get the opportunity to connect with other like minded people, who are inquisitive and out-going. I highly recommend Quang’s tour, which was recommended to me by word of mouth, as it truly shows you Hanoi like in no other way. With Quang as your expert guide, rest assured you’re in safe hands!
とにかく期待以上の深い話を聞くことができました!
始めにコーヒーを飲みながらベトナムの歴史を多方面から本当にわかりやすく説明していただきました。その中には私が知らないこともあり、立場が違うと情報が違うこと、そして実際にご家族の体験からの本物の情報は何よりも響くものがありました。彼の英語はとても聞きやすく、そして、わからないとすぐに説明してくれました。
話を聞いた後に特殊なマーケットで、コミュニティについてや、お金のあるシステムが始まる前からの名残があることなどを聞きながら歩きました。
彼の話は実際にそこに住む人たちからの話や関係性もあり、彼だからこそ聞ける話がたくさんあります。ベトナムの歴史とそれによる個人の生活変化について教えていただきました。
そして電車を待つまでの時間にもまだまだ戦争についての話や南北の人の違いなどを聞き、本当に考えさせられるツアーでした。
心が優しく頭の良い彼のツアーはハノイにきたら絶対に参加するべきツアーです!体験者から話を聞くことは響きが違います。どうぞこれを見た方は迷うことなく参加してください!
Amazing experience. Kien was so knowledgeable and great insight into Vietnamese history and culture, and perspective from new and old generations. The tour was so personal and casual, not at all contrived or touristy. Both our kids aged 12 and 17 loved it as well. Would highly recommend!!
Really great tour by Kiên and Linh. Kiên shared interesting stories and was a really good host and communicator. We had so much fun on this tour and would highly recommend it to anyone who would like to explore parts of Hanoi that are less touristy. Thanks so much for the amazing morning. It is an experience we will not forget!
Besides the tour being incredible and excellently planned, my guide Kien went above and beyond in every single way to make this tour special. Besides looking out for my needs and safety, he throughly explained all of the necessary details for me to understand the history of his amazing country, but at all times it felt like chitchatting with a friend more than having a history lesson. He patiently replied to all of my questions (which I had many) and we even discussed his culture and culture shocks he’s had in the past in both the west and his own country upon return. After the tour, he recommended a great restaurant next to my hotel and even wrote down the recommended order. Definitely an outstanding tour and guide!
This was a very interesting tour. Quang was a knowledgeable, thoughtful guide who spoke very good English and told good stories. We did many things we would not have done without going on this tour, like seeing the memorial statue of the woman who lost her child in a bombing raid during the American War.
Hanoi during the Vietnam War: the dark side of its most famous monuments.
Discover life under the planned economy, the fate(s) of the local people from both sides (the North and the South; and the story of the unification of Vietnam, a country once divided between the communist and anti-communist, on the brink of the COLD WAR)
Our “stroll” will last about 2.5 hours, with a short taxi ride halfway through. The aim of my walk is to make you discover specific areas of Hanoi (far away from the tourist’s eyes) in the light of aspects of our city’s rich history that are rarely touched upon by guidebooks, with in-depth information (history buffs welcome) but in a relaxed and joyful atmosphere. A conversation, rather than a lecture!
Places we will visit:
– Cho Gioi area
– Kham Thiem B52 memorial
– Hanoi Train Street
Note: 20% of the profit will be donated to the Vietnam Association for Victims of Agen Orange/Dioxin; Blue Dragon Children’s Foundation.
