My parents and I took this tour to explore the history of Hanoi. Our guide, Vinh, made sure all three of us, despite different interests, were fully engaged. He explained the history behind the temples and colonial buildings with such passion. The peaceful pause with Vietnamese coffee was such a contrast to the market’s buzz. ForeverVacation provided exceptional service, and Vinh went above and beyond to make it personal. A day well spent!

This was my favorite tour in Vietnam! My guide, Giang, knew so much and made the Old Quarter feel like a living museum. The ancient house and mural street were stunning. Thanks for the stories and photos, Giang—you’re amazing!

I went on this tour with my boyfriend, and it was such a romantic experience! Our guide, Nhi, had a calm and sweet presence. She walked us through quiet temples, talked about ancient traditions, and even helped us write our names in Vietnamese. We got beautiful couple photos at mural street and the temple courtyard. The egg coffee café was candle-lit and cozy. It was the perfect slow travel experience. Thank you, Nhi and ForeverVacation, for such an intimate and unforgettable afternoon.

We did this tour on our last day in Hanoi and it was the best way to wrap up. Thanh, our guide, was so knowledgeable and chill. We explored, laughed, and reflected. Highly recommend for anyone who loves culture and history. Thanks, Thanh!

My group of college friends and I booked this tour and we didn’t expect to love it this much. Our guide, Linh, was full of personality and made history fun. We especially loved how she showed us local life—not just monuments. The market, the pagoda, even the small talk with vendors—it all felt real. We ended the day with coffee and laughs in a secret café she led us to. ForeverVacation is killing it with these kinds of local-led, meaningful tours. Thank you Linh—you were awesome!

We booked this tour as a surprise gift for our parents during their 30th anniversary trip to Hanoi. ForeverVacation helped make it extra special! Our guide, Duc Anh, was absolutely incredible—he surprised them with a handwritten note we had sent ahead and made them feel like VIPs the entire day. They explored Dong Xuan Market, admired the colonial buildings, and even learned about their zodiac signs at the pagoda. My dad said the ancient house reminded him of stories from his own childhood. Duc Anh kept the pace comfortable and was so attentive throughout. They FaceTimed us during their egg coffee break, and they were both smiling ear to ear. Later, they shared dozens of photos that Duc Anh took for them, all beautifully framed and full of joy. This tour wasn’t just about history—it was about making memories, and Duc Anh made that happen. We’re so grateful to ForeverVacation for going the extra mile. This experience gave our parents one of the best days of their lives, and we couldn’t have asked for more. If you’re thinking of gifting a tour, trust this one. It’s absolutely magical.

We visited as a honeymoon couple and this tour felt like an old-world romance! Our guide, Yen, was gentle, thoughtful, and shared stories that touched our hearts. Coffee, temples, and alleys—it was all so dreamy. Thank you, Yen and ForeverVacation!

As a senior traveler with mobility concerns, I appreciated how carefully this tour was managed. Our guide, Phat, was compassionate and customized the route to ensure I could participate fully. We paused often, talked about the history of the ancient house, and even enjoyed a calm coffee break. I didn’t feel rushed or overlooked. In fact, I felt seen and valued. ForeverVacation really gets that travel isn’t one-size-fits-all. Thank you, Phat, for your patience and care—you gave me the gift of exploration again.
