Arthur is an excellent guide with great knowledge of Vietnamese history and culture. His explanations were interesting, and he made everything easy to understand. We really enjoyed the tour!
If you are visiting Hanoi, you must tour with Mr. Ben! He is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and passionate about Vietnam''s rich culture and delicious food. He showed us the best local spots, shared fascinating stories, and ensured we had a fun, stress-free experience from start to finish. Thank you, Mr. Ben, for making our trip to Vietnam so memorable! Highly recommended to anyone traveling to Hanoi.
!!!THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM!!! THE ABSOLUTE WORST EXPERIENCE, DO NOT RECOMMEND. I've been using GYG for years and this has never happened to me before; usually, they contact me a day in advance through this platform or via the WhatsApp number you provide. Even though this company had all my information, they NEVER notified me of anything at all. They made me waste a whole day, knowing full well that we are tourists with set schedules and plans. We were waiting from 7:10 AM for a 7:30 AM pickup that NEVER arrived. I had to book another tour on the spot just to make the most of the day—obviously paying more because of the IRRESPONSIBILITY of this fake, SCAMMING company. It is in terrible taste and a total scam. I repeat... THE WORST EXPERIENCE, NOT RECOMMENDED!
Booked a tour with this company and had Mr Ben as my tourguide. He was very kind and friendly. Many photos were taken. Thank again
I am very happy with our tour trip with Mr. Manh he is very friendly and very helpful to us on a pleasant trip to visit ninh binh
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing day trip to Ninh Binh with Son as our guide! 🏞️ The scenery was breathtaking - the rice fields, the caves... just wow! 😍 Son was super knowledgeable, pointing out hidden spots and sharing local stories. The boat ride was relaxing. Highly recommend this tour if you're visiting Hanoi! 👍
Enjoy the tour with mr Ben the man my friend very much. Thank you
Very well organized tour. We visit more places, drink coffee and have nice lunch. Our guide Tiger was very knowledge and very friendly. Thanks for everything.
We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and explained everything clearly. He was always punctual and made sure we were comfortable throughout the trip. Highly recommended!
The perfect full day tour to start my trip in Hanoi. The tour covered all the major to-visits. Train street times perfectly and I saw 2 up close and personal. Luca the tour guide was amazing and carried the entire group along. 10/10
We were lucky enough to only be two on this tour. So we received the all-round carefree package from the professional tour guide, Tiger On-time hotel pickup, then first exchange of important words in Vietnamese. This was followed by the great visits to Lackproduktion, where we got to get a little creative ourselves. Then on to the incense, where we were allowed to dye sticks ourselves. Followed, of course, by a great photo session. Tiger, paint a cone hat after Danny demonstrated the production and explained it clearly. A great day trip! 😀 Thanks to Tiger and the skilful driver who safely meandered through the chaotic traffic 👍🏻
Excellent tour! Packed in the day with lots of activities - which would have been really hard to do without the guide/ tour. Our favourite part was the train street and the visit to the prison! Jenny was friendly and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
Very unique experice, specially the lunch and coffee at the train street directly infront of your eyes, nice weather, nice tour, nice city, love people here in hanoi, a bit traffic jam but the tour guide took very good care of everyone, a bit sad at Hoa Lo prision due to the stories, highly recommend
All the scenes are very very nice and beautiful, eye catcher. Our tourist guide was an absolute delight! Not only was Mr Ben an incredibly knowledgeable about the sites we visited, but he also infused the tour with humor, making it both informative and enjoyable. His ability to balance facts with wit kept the group engaged and entertained throughout the entire journey. I highly recommend this guide (Mr Ben) for anyone looking to explore with a side of laughter. Mr Ben is extremely nice and humble person.
11月にツアーに参加しました。日本語のツアーが高く安さに惹かれて参加しましたが、英語にそこまで自信がなかったため始まるまでは不安でした。ただスタッフの方(特にMr.James)がとても親切で、わかるまで説明頂けたのでなんとかついていくことができました。また日本の方が少なく、海外の雰囲気を味わうことができました(ここは好みが分かれるでしょうが…)。ツアー内容、食事もしっかりしており、コスパは非常に良いと思います。 I participated this tour at Nov. Japanese tour is so expensive that I chose this, but I feel anxious a little bit before starting tour because of my poor English skills. But all staffs(especially Mr.James!) were quite helpful and friendly, and they explained again and again, so I managed to catch up them. The contents and lunch were also good. I recommend to enjoy this tour. I'm sorry for my poor English.
Cycle tour and boat tour were very good! Tour guys are very friendly. We had doubts about the meal but the diversity was quite enough.
Enjoyed a great day seeing all the sights as listed in Hanoi via the itinerary. Guide very knowledgable, patient & helpful.... adding to our experiences were his interesting stories, commentary & little snippets of information. Highly recommend this tour to get a great overview of this busy city.
We did have a great time with our tour guide for a day tour in Hanoi City. Ash, is his name & he is very accommodative yet friendly in served us the best he can. We glad to have this service from Him & thanks for the warmest hospitality.
