Essential Free walking tours of Hanoi

Very informative and interesting tour, our guide Stella is very bubbly and knowledgeable about the subject and introduced us to many engaging stories.

Thx for the wonderful tour !

PROS - This tour gives a good overview of the history and trivia about Hanoi. The guide was enthusiastic and had a lot of info to share. CONS - We were a bigger group of around 20 people which made it hard to hear sometimes. Would recommend improving the story telling to avoid info overload. Overall, good tour as an intro to Hanoi!

The tour guide was very nice and knowledgeable about the history and people of Hoi An, enabling him to answer all our questions. At the end of the tour, he provided us with a PDF listing the best places to eat, drink, and visit tailor shops in Hoi An. However, while we tried some places from the list, we found some to be quite touristy. We would have preferred more hidden gems frequented by locals.

I’ve done quite a few walking tours in different cities and this was by far my favourite one yet (and this was thanks to the guide)! Lily was amazing. She was funny and knowledgeable and kept us entertained and interested the whole time. I was sad to say goodbye to her at the end! The places she took us were great and she managed to keep track of us all through the busy streets. Thank you!

Very enjoyable & knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

This is our first time to join a walking tour and we are very happy to have Melody as our local guide. She showed us less common spots which gave us a glimpse of the daily hustle and bustle in Ha Noi. We also appreciate her taking us to a local hangout spot of the people to enjoy lime juice and sunflower seeds which we get to enjoy after walking around. While drinking the refreshment, we get to chat for a while and she also sent us personal recommendations of what to do and where to eat. 10/10!

Informative and entertaining tour of Hanoi. Would recommend

I had an amazing experience on the GuruWalk with James as our guide! He spoke English clearly, and I had no trouble understanding him throughout the tour. James shared an incredible amount of knowledge about the history of Hanoi, its dynasties, and how the city has evolved over the centuries. He even showed us a map to illustrate these changes, which was fascinating. The pace of the walk was comfortable, and James was always happy to pause for photos or to answer questions. He also shared insights into the local culture and food, and even went above and beyond by helping us buy some delicious local fruits. His warm and welcoming nature made the experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend booking a tour with James! Whether you're traveling with family, friends, or solo, it's definitely a tour you won't want to miss.

Escursione piacevole ed interessante! La nostra guida parlava inglese in modo chiaro, è stata esaustiva e simpatica fornendo anche consigli sulla città di Hanoi. Consiglio di non fare colazione poiché la prima tappa consiste nel provare l'egg coffe (da pagare separatamente).

Melody did a really fun tour, with historical, cultural knowledge, vietnamese phrases to know, and a ton of tips for what to do and where to eat in Hanoi. She only does small groups, this way its more enjoyable and engaging in my opinion. Had a really great time, and it was very useful!

Tommy was a great and fun guide, a perfect way to start our trip in Vietnam! Thank you :-)
