We had the absolute pleasure of being guided around Hanoi by Julia today, and I can’t recommend her enough. From the moment we started, she brought the city’s rich culture and complex history to life with incredible storytelling, warmth, and humor.
Throughout our walk, we visited key landmarks like Ly Thai To Statue, Sword Lake, the Heritage House, Kim Ngan Temple, and even Train Street — all while weaving in fascinating insights about Vietnamese traditions, sacred animals, the concept of yin-yang and the five elements, and the country’s long and resilient path to independence.
Julia has a gift for making history engaging and accessible. She answered all our questions thoughtfully and even welcomed our perspectives with genuine curiosity. You can tell she truly loves what she does and wants every guest to walk away with a deeper appreciation for Vietnam.
Beyond the information, what stood out most was Julia’s kindness and joy — she made us feel not like tourists, but like welcomed friends. This tour wasn’t just informative, it was truly memorable.
Thank you, Julia, for such a joyful day in Hanoi. If you’re visiting the city, don’t miss the chance to explore it with her!
