Fantastic tour

"We had a great evening with Linh! She took really good care of us and of our 4 young children. We learned a lot about Vietnam's and Hanoi's history, tasted some amazing food and even the kids where full and happy in the end.
If we ever come back to Hanoi, we will book this tour again!"
