If you're visiting Hanoi and looking for an exceptional local guide, look no further than Jennie! We booked her after reading so many rave reviews, and I can confidently say she lived up to every single one of them—and then some! What impressed us most was Jennie's attention to detail and genuine desire to make our experience unforgettable. Shortly after booking, she reached out through WhatsApp to ask what we were interested in seeing, experiencing, or purchasing during our visit. Because of our travel schedule, we ended up booking her for two separate days, and it was one of the best decisions we made in Vietnam! Our wish list was extensive, and Jennie delivered on absolutely everything! From exquisite Vietnamese silk and intricate lotus embroidery to beautiful lacquer artwork, a custom-tailored suit, stunning pearl jewelry, unique pieces from local artists, and handcrafted ceramics—she knew exactly where to take us. These weren't just random tourist shops; Jennie introduced us to wonderful stores, talented artisans, and places we never would have discovered on our own. And here's where Jennie truly shines: she is an incredible negotiator! Not only did she take us to the best places for quality and craftsmanship, but she also made sure we received the best possible prices. Having someone with her local knowledge, connections, and negotiating skills made the entire experience so much more enjoyable and rewarding. But what really sets Jennie apart is Jennie herself! She is incredibly kind, warm, friendly, and speaks amazing English, making communication effortless. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and her genuine love for Vietnam shines through in everything she does. She doesn't just show you Hanoi—she shares her passion for its people, culture, traditions, and craftsmanship. You can tell she truly loves what she does, and that makes all the difference. What impressed us even more was her flexibility and willingness to go above and beyond. We asked her to help us with something that wasn't even part of our original tour, and without hesitation, she made it happen! She even managed to secure us a reservation at a special restaurant, taking care of the details so we could simply enjoy ourselves. Nothing ever seemed too much trouble for Jennie! What could have been two overwhelming days of navigating Hanoi's shopping districts turned into an incredible, personalized adventure. Jennie took the guesswork out of everything, allowing us to relax, explore, and truly enjoy the experience. Jennie isn't just a tour guide—she's your personal Hanoi insider, shopping expert, cultural ambassador, and secret weapon for discovering the very best Vietnam has to offer! If you're considering booking Jennie, don't hesitate for a second. Her kindness, professionalism, enthusiasm, and willingness to go the extra mile made our time in Hanoi truly special. We came away with beautiful treasures, wonderful memories, and a much deeper appreciation for Vietnam. We would book Jennie again in a heartbeat and recommend her without reservation. Five stars simply aren't enough for someone who puts so much heart into making your experience extraordinary!

We booked a private shopping experience with Jennie in Hanoi. Right after I booked, I received a private message through WhatsApp asking for a list of what specifically we were looking for. I sent her a full list, focusing on vintage clothing and gems and crystals. When the day came and we met Jennie at the first stop she had arranged, I was completely blown away. This was the best gem crystal shop I have ever seen in. The selection was unbelievable. Jennie also helped us by speaking Vietnamese to the workers when negotiating a price. We then went to the old quarter and she brought us to the coolest vintage chores that we would never have found on our own. Jennie was the sweetest and nicest person, and she really went above and beyond to accommodate my family. The shopping experience was so fun and my kids absolutely loved it. I highly recommend doing this because she will bring you to some really cool places!
We booked a private shopping tour with Jennie through Viator. Jennie is a local in Hanoi and she knows all the best kept secrets! Jennie reached out once I booked the tour and she asked me for a shopping list! My family and I love gems, crystals and vintage clothes, we also had a few other things on the list. Jennie asked us all types of questions and prepared the perfect day!! I was so blown away by the gem shop- it was unbelievable! All the cool vintage stores she brought us to, we would have never have found on our own! We bought some of the coolest stuff and had so much fun with Jennie!! I highly recommend if you love shopping!!!
Great experience with Jennie our shopping tour guide. Went above and beyond to ensure all details were handled prior to start of shopping experience. Jennie is very hospitable and speaks good English. We thoroughly enjoyed our time spent with her. Jennie is a true gem!
My wife and I joined Jennie's tour on a recommendation from our hotel concierge and it turned out to be the highlight of our entire Vietnam trip. Jennie arranged comfortable transport between every stop and never once made us feel rushed — and yet everything was completed with remarkable speed. At the pearl boutique, she explained the difference between keshi pearls, baroque pearls and freshwater pearls with the confidence of a gemologist. My wife fell in love with a pair of golden baroque pearl earrings on silver hoops — completely one-of-a-kind pieces designed by a local designer who clearly pours her soul into her work. For myself, I purchased a stunning hand-embroidered lacquer painting — cranes against cherry blossoms on a deep black background. What impressed us both was that despite being custom pieces, everything was ready for collection on the same day — Jennie had coordinated the whole timeline seamlessly so we never had to worry about logistics. Knowing that our purchases directly support these remarkable people made spending feel genuinely good. Book her tour without hesit
Jennie is a wonderful shopping guide tour operator. She is very knowledgeable with the local merchants and will negotiate on your behalf to get best price possible. She also maintained excellent communication with us before and after the shopping tour. We highly recommend Jennie for your next shopping trip.
Jennie was lovely and couldn’t have been more helpful and generous with her time. If you know what you want but don’t know where to find it Jennie is your person !
If you like shopping especially for specific things you might not find on your own Jennie is your girl. I WhatsApp her before I arrived about some particular pearls I wanted and she even had a tailor me us at my hotel. It’s a Great service. Highly recommend Thanks Jennie !
Highly recommended. We contacted Jenny after striking out on our own with some shopping wish lists, and on very short notice she pulled together a custom itinerary and found us just the right places to locate high quality trip mementos. Tour price included a beverage at a cafe, as well as taxi transport between locations. She made it very easy and fun!
This was the most amazing start to our Vietnam adventure. Jennie was so warm and friendly and was able to create a really unique experience for us. She curated our experience to our interests that made it even more special. This will always be one of our most memorable traveling memories. Thank you so much Jennie!
My experience shopping with Jenny Cherry was fabulous! She contacted me beforehand to learn what I was shopping for and curated a wonderful shopping experience for me. I was looking for art and fine handicrafts and Jenny took me to a few high-end workshops and an art gallery. Specifically, we went to a lacquerware workshop and an embroidery workshop, at both of which I could watch the craft being made. Jenny was truly enthusiastic and very patient while I looked at the wares and decided what to purchase. Jenny also graciously walked with me in and out of many small souvenir shops to look for small items and gifts. She was incredibly patient and kind throughout, and we chatted the whole time. It as like making a new friend! Jenny also answered my questions about Vietnamese culture and language - she is very knowledgeable and happy to share her knowledge. Also, it was raining the day we were together, and Jenny called and paid for taxis to take us from place to place. She even insisted on holding her umbrella over me as we went in and out of the souvenir shops. Jenny and I spent five hours together and it was great fun! I highly recommend this tour!!

I sent my shopping list to Cherry before traveling to Vietnam. She visited various shops researching the gifts I wanted. She ordered things that would take time to make or ship to Hanoi. The shopping tour was organized, transportation arranged, and the shops we visited had excellent representations of the desired gifts. Without Cherry I would have wandered around Hanoi hoping to find good quality gifts. Instead I felt assured that I was getting the best price and quality available. Her knowledge of the city and culture is extensive. Worth every penny for the tour. You will have a good time, learn about the city from a local, and enjoy Cherry’s company. My highest recommendation.
Cherry was friendly, easy going and listened to what both another lady and I wanted to do. Very enjoyable day! We took our time shopping and exploring the old quarter. I would definitely do it again.
Thad a fabulous day with Cherry jewellery shopping in Hanoi. Some good shops in the Old Quarter that I would not normally go and I bought some beautiful Jade. Then into a Grab to a wonderful pearl shop where the owner made a custom baroque pearl necklace and earrings for me. Very special and a very reasonable price.
I can really recommend Cherry, she helps you to find all the things you are looking for at a decent price🥰 Thank you so much!
I spent a fantastic afternoon with Cherry as she became my Hanoi personal shopper for the day. We met for a coffe to start and Cherry introduced me to my first egg coffee, it sounds strange but tastes like tiramisu. She had already asked me what kind of things I wanted to shop for and had plenty of suggestions where to go to suit my needs. Whether it was delicious Vietnamese coffee beans, tailored clothes, beautiful Vietnamese silk, or Vietnam war era propaganda posters Cherry knew where to go to get me whatever I wanted. I really had a most wonderful day and experience with Cherry and highly recommend booking a trip. Thank you so much Cherry you are amazing.
Cherry was a fantastic shopping guide! Honestly, Cherry looks after her customers and pre plans the shopping trip based on budget and shopping experience! Would highly recommend Cherry! Please see her Instagram for visuals of our shopping trip. Thank you earnestly Cherry, truly appreciate you, and the added bonus of taking me through alleyways that I wouldn’t have known to explore! Everyone have loved their presents, thanks to you :D
Cherry was a ray of sunshine and the best shopping companion in the city of Hanoi. I was limited with time and unfamiliar with the city, so I had Cherry assist me to find quality products at the best prices to take home. There were numerous shops to choose from, and Cherry knew just where to go amongst hundreds of options. We shopped for jewelry, silks, and chocolates per my request. I even had her help me pick out some good Vietnamese snacks for my teenagers to try during our travels in Vietnam. Upon returning home, I reached out to Cherry and she assisted me with purchasing some items I regretted not buying during my visit. I highly recommend this tour.
