5 reviews of the full-day local life tour on Viator
We were pleasantly surprised by how interesting and fun this tour was. Our guide was very nice and honest. We had a clean car with a good driver and were able to go at our own pace throughout the day. Highly recommend!
Great tour with the opportunity to meet with local people. The meal was fantastic and our guide (Sam) was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable.
Good half day tour and overview of Hanoi. Mr Bruno, my tour guide, was excellent in his planning and execution of the tour. He volunteered to help my family in capturing many beautiful memories and photos!
