Hi there, adventurous traveler!
I'm Julia - your fun-loving, story-spilling, street food-snacking local tour guide in Hanoi.
(Oh, and yes, I’m a fully licensed tour guide too!)
After 20+ years living in this incredible city, I can promise you one thing: Hanoi is pure magic. It’s where ancient legends meet buzzing motorbikes, where the aroma of sizzling bánh xèo dances through streets lined with French architecture and timeless pagodas.
But here’s the thing - Hanoi isn’t meant to be seen… it’s meant to be experienced.
That’s where I come in. With me as your guide, you won’t just tick off tourist spots. You’ll hear the whispered legends of old temples, sip a frothy egg coffee on a secret balcony, and maybe even learn how to cross the street like a local (pro tip: don’t stop walking 😅).
And yes - Train Street is on the list. Where else can you sip coffee as a train zips by just inches away?
Whether you're a culture lover, foodie, history buff, or just here for the vibes, I’ll tailor the journey to YOU. Expect laughter, surprises, hidden gems, and stories the guidebooks forgot to tell.
So… ready to explore Hanoi like a local?
Let’s hit the streets together - one bite, one legend, one laugh at a time.
The Hanoi Old Quarter Tour with Julia was truly amazing. She was super friendly, welcoming, and had so much knowledge about Hanoi. The tour was interesting, personal, and never boring. You can immediately tell how passionate Julia is about the city. Absolutely recommended and thank you for the wonderful tour! Tom and Nadine
Lisa was a great tour guide, very informative, knowledgeable about the area and knowing where to take the best pictures. Lisa gave us many insights to places to visit and eat which we later tried. Highly recommend this tour and Lisa as a guide
