“This is a great way to see Hanoi! My student guide, Louisa, met me at my hotel and we took off walking. Louisa gave great history lessons but also chatted about her life and what was going on around us. I traveled solo so it was nice to have somebody to ask questions to and chat with. Best part, is that she walked me back to my hotel. I hate going on tours when I just arrived in a city and have to find my way back. I wish I could find this opportunity in other cities. Louisa did a great job!”
