We had such a great time on this tour! Tho is a wonderful guide and very entertaining. We loved being able to see parts of Hanoi that we never would have found on our own, and it was so great to see places that are doing their part for the environment! The food was fantastic and overall we had a great time!

Can’t review our Vietnam trip of a life time because Covid destroyed our dreams but definite 5/5 for the people at Asianlink. Nothing was a problem. Gave us a credit when Covid first hit then when serious illness decided to raise its head never flinched. Gave us our money back without question. Can’t recommend enough.

I did the old quarter tour with Ms Annie who is super nice and can speak excellent English. She is very kind to take me to lots of places like the Hoan Kiem Lake, Ngoc Son Temple, Long Bien Bridge, Hoa Lo Prison and Train Street. She's very caring and protect me always when we cross to road which is difficult for foreigners; We have a great time together and i know more about Hanoi. Thank you so much Annie :)

Going through the tunnels was so incredible! (Of course, they were made slightly bigger for foreigners, but wow, I emerged with even greater respect for the people who had to endure living and navigating those tunnels during the war.) Also, seeing my 6'4" (1m93cm) tall husband disappear into jungle floor through a secret entrance was just amazing! Our tour guide, Tuấn, was so insightful and told us about his many experiences in the war! Our driver, Hoàng, was great, too, he stopped to give us refreshments along the way, too. If you're in HCMC, you need to come to the Củ Chi tunnels!
