Personalize tour of Hanoi City
Me and my partner had a wonderful experience with our tour guides Hung and Rosie. They were friendly,accommodating and informative. We learnt so much about the history of Sword Lake ,Ngoc Son Temple and Turtle tower. As we started late at 4pm and many attractions close at 5pm, we ended the tour with an impromptu mini food tour whereby Hung and Rosie brought us to the pho place that was visites by South Korean president Lee Jae Myung. We would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a personalize ,in dept tour of Hanoi city.

Great introductory tour by friendly guides
This was our first time in Hanoi and it was easy to make our booking. The Company was well organised & kept in touch until our arrival. We were lucky to have Quynh Chi & Ngoc Anh as our tour guides. It was nice of them to meet us at our hotel & plan the visit according to our requests . Both were friendly,flexible and gave concise explanations of the places of interests. Thank you to Quynh Chi & Ngoc Anh for making us feel welcome in Hanoi . It is without hesitation that we will recommend you both to our friends.

Nice intro to Hanoi
We had a great introduction to Hanoi. Our guides Kiệt and Rosie were so nice, we had a flight delay and they waited for us. They asked us where we want to go, and took us to interesting places and major sights, as well as great food stops. The communication in English was something challenging, but they were both kind and patient with the explanations.

Highly Recommended
I had Changxi as my tour guide, and she was absolutely amazing! She was incredibly enthusiastic, friendly, and knowledgeable throughout the entire tour. You could genuinely tell that she enjoys what she does and takes great pride in sharing her knowledge and experiences with visitors. Changxi made the tour feel engaging and enjoyable rather than just a standard sightseeing experience. She was always happy to answer questions, explain the history and culture in detail, and made sure I was comfortable and having a good time. Her positive energy and enthusiasm really made a difference and added so much to the overall experience. She also took me to have Vietnamese food and it was amazing.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
(Evening) HANOI CUSTOMIZED Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does (Evening) HANOI CUSTOMIZED Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $5 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hanoi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does (Evening) HANOI CUSTOMIZED Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hanoi is not rushed.
Is (Evening) HANOI CUSTOMIZED Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 90 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 215 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Hanoi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule (Evening) HANOI CUSTOMIZED Walking Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is (Evening) HANOI CUSTOMIZED Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book (Evening) HANOI CUSTOMIZED Walking Tour?
+
Around 75 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hanoi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hanoi and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does (Evening) HANOI CUSTOMIZED Walking Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hanoi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hanoi?
+
On Outty we rank every Hanoi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ha Giang Loop 3-Day Small Group - from Hanoi, (Group/Individual) HANOI STREET FOOD TOUR, Incense Village Quang Phu Cau, Hat Village and Hanoi City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hanoi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hanoi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in (Evening) HANOI CUSTOMIZED Walking Tour?
+
Included: Free Hotel pickup (Hanoi Old Quarter only); Our email confirmation to guarantee your tour'll take place (you must leave your email); Free private tour guide; and Free Hotel drop-off (Hanoi Old Quarter only). Not included: Transport. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does (Evening) HANOI CUSTOMIZED Walking Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 1198 listed pickup locations in and around Hanoi. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is (Evening) HANOI CUSTOMIZED Walking Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for (Evening) HANOI CUSTOMIZED Walking Tour?
+

+
