Had an amazing experience, Thomas guided us very well and took great pictures throughout the trip!! Would recommend to friends and family!
It's already my second time on this trip and I can say that I had a better experience now because Thomas made it so much better for me and my family. Especially, we had so many amazing pictures and he made sure we will have the best of this trip. Would definitely bring more of my friends and family and how I wish it's still Thomas who would guide us.
Thomas was amazing! He was friendly, efficient, and took some great photos of us. Our driver also got us there in just an hour, and everything ran smoothly and on time. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely recommend this tour!
Thomas is such a great tour guide ❤️ He is very entertaining and informative. Plus he takes good photos! Very good job.
Our tour guide Kelvin was amazing! He sent us messages in advance to organise pick up and the logistics of it all. He answered all our many questions about culture and history with a smile, took wonderful photos of us, and showed us in detail the process of making incense (we even made our own). The train street visit was super cool! From tasting different types of coffee to watching the train passing by so close to us. Our driver was great as well. Highly recommend the tour!
Enjoyed my day tour! Cảm ơn. Great if you have only short time in Hanoi.
Thomas and Daniel were amazing hosts for our half day Incense Village and Train Street tour. They were warm, friendly, welcoming and great vibes all round. They explained how the incense is made, which made the experience even more interesting. They also took beautiful photos of us with a professional camera and told us how to pose which made things so smooth. We really appreciated them looking after our bags too. The door-to-door pick-up and drop-off was especially convenient as we were staying outside the Old Quarter, and they were very accommodating. Would definitely recommend Thomas and Daniel for a fun and memorable experience in Hanoi.

We had such an amazing experience with our tour guide, Thomas! He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely passionate about making sure we had the best possible time. Thomas made the entire tour fun and enjoyable from start to finish. He explained everything clearly, shared so many interesting facts and stories, and was always happy to answer our questions. What really stood out was how attentive and thoughtful he was throughout the day — we never felt rushed, and he made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves. His great sense of humour and warm personality made the experience even more memorable. It honestly felt less like being on a tour and more like exploring with a knowledgeable local friend. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Thank you so much, Thomas, for making our trip extra special and giving us such wonderful memories. We would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing tour experience!

Thomas is such a great tour guide and photographer. He is very friendly and accomodating and making feel us like we've met a long time ago. The best ever! We'll see you again soon, Thomas. Thank you very much for this unforgettable experience!
Mr. Thomas is a great tour guide! Very friendly and engaging with us throughout our tour. Mr. Thomas is also really excellent in taking pictures and giving a brief history of the places we’re going. Very much recommended tour guide! Would definitely come back and recommend to people we know are visiting Hanoi.
Thomas was our guide during my solo trip, and he was absolutely amazing! He was very patient and waited for me when I got lost and couldn’t find the meeting point. Throughout the tour, he explained everything clearly and made the experience enjoyable. He even became our photographer at the incense village, making sure we captured beautiful memories. I highly recommend Thomas as a tour guide. Thank you for making my solo trip so special! 🫰🤍
We had an absolutely lovely experience with our tour guide, Đạt. Friendly, warm and knowledgeable, he showed us a non-touristy yet extremely enjoyable side of Hanoi. With equal measures of history, local lore and an exclusive peek into the making of the popular incense sticks and the traditional Vietnamese hat, Đạt helped us explore each experience at our own pace. He helped us with recommendations on what to do, where to buy things as well. If you are looking for a tour guide in Hanoi, he’s the best!
Very friendly and I highly recommend! BOOK NYO SYA APPROVE YAN
The tour gives you an in depth experience of all significant places in Hanoi. I especially liked the information shared by our tour guide Devin. It was raining when we went, and his suggestions to maximize our time was awesome! Thank you

Thomas the pogi is really excellent tour guide. He is patient to took our photos. He explains very well about the places we been to visit . Highly recommend him as your future tour guide.
Awesome tour with our guide Mac who I would highly recommend. Mac was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The train street and incense experience was amazing.
My mom and I just finished an incredible tour of the Incense Village and the famous Train Street, and it was easily one of the highlights of our trip. It’s hard to find tours that are truly comprehensive without feeling exhausting, but this was perfectly paced—we got to soak in the stunning colors of the incense sticks and the unique buzz of the train tracks without ever feeling rushed. Beyond the experience itself, we really felt like we got our money’s worth. Every moment felt well-planned, and the value we received for the price was exceptional. Our guide, Devin, was so incredibly nice and friendly, and made sure both my mom and I felt comfortable and well-cared for. It was so helpful having someone so knowledgeable who also shared such great local recommendations with us; it’s really helped us plan the rest of our time here. If you’re looking for a special experience to share with a loved one in Hanoi, I couldn't recommend this tour more!
This was a very interesting and fun outing to the incense village and train street. Devin was a responsible and knowledgeable tour guide ensuring seamless pick up and a smooth trip.
Thomas was very nice guide. I’m satisfied with this tour!!
We had wonderful review at incense village with Thomas! He also took great pictures.
It was an amazing tour experience! Highly recommend Thomas as the tour guide! :)
Great experience! Thomas is very friendly and lively. He also took the pictures nicely.
Mr Walter is very friendly and accomodating! He shared a lot if information during the transpo from our hotel to Hanoi Train Street and to Incense Village. He also took great photos during the tour. He also shared great food spots to try during our time in Hanoi. Highly recommended!
It was a very pleasant outing. Walter, our guide, was very nice, knowledgeable and helpful. Seeing how incense is made was pretty neat. Fun place to take pictures too. It was also a nice way to see some of the area outside Hanoi Old Quarter.
Our guide Thomas is the best tour guide in Hanoi that we had and also a professional photographer. A complete package tour guide with complete knowledge about the place, funny and the whole tour is not boring.
