With over 12 years of experience as a licensed tour guide in Hanoi, I specialize in helping travelers understand the deeper layers of Vietnam’s history—starting at the very heart of the nation’s identity. My 2-hour walking tour explores two of Hanoi’s most iconic and meaningful sites: the Ho Chi Minh Complex and the Temple of Literature.
This is not just a sightseeing tour. It’s a journey through the life and legacy of Ho Chi Minh, the symbolism behind the mausoleum, and the philosophies that shaped Vietnam’s first national university nearly 1,000 years ago. I bring historical facts to life through personal stories, cultural insights, and the context you won’t find in guidebooks.
Beyond the tour, I also help travelers plan unforgettable journeys throughout Vietnam. Whether you're looking to book reliable airport transfers, arrange a Halong Bay cruise, or join other authentic local tours, I can assist with trusted recommendations and smooth arrangements. You don’t have to figure it all out alone—just send me a message! I’m only one click away and always happy to help make your Vietnam trip easy, enjoyable, and full of memorable experiences.
Curious about how modern Vietnam was shaped? Lace up your shoes and join me—I’d love to walk you through the stories that built this country.
Alex is a nice person and knowledgeable tour guide.
I'd recommend this tour in a heartbeat to anyone wanting to get the real story on Vietnam's history and what it's like today! We had a fantastic time on the tour with Alex! Beyond the landmarks, he gave us such a great feel for daily Vietnamese life and totally answered all our questions. The 2-hour tour flew by, and we saw so much of the historic center. Alex's friendly vibe, exceptional level of English and in depth knowledge of Vietnamese history made the whole experience unforgettable.
I really enjoyed the tour with Alex. He is extremely knowledgeable, engaging and friendly. Besides sharing interesting details around the sights and the city, he also shared a lot about Vietnamese culture and people. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone who is interested in better understanding the culture and history of Hanoi and Vietnam in general!
Excellent professional guide for Hanoi landmark A lot of knowledge and other information on history and everyday life
Alex was very friendly and informative, and was happy to answer all our questions. He is very knowledgable and gave us comprehensive explanations of the history of Vietnam and of the religious customs. He was also willing to alter the route for us, as we didn't wear appropriate clothing for the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum.😅 Recommended indeed
