Personal Introduction
My name is William (Minh), and I am a passionate local guide based in Hanoi. I have a strong interest in Vietnamese culture, history, and hospitality, and I enjoy sharing authentic local experiences with travellers from around the world. Through my tours, I hope to help visitors gain a deeper understanding of Hanoi and modern Vietnam.
Hanoi · In Their Words
- Favourite Hanoi Food
- My favourite Hanoi food is Bánh Cuốn. I love its delicate rice rolls filled with seasoned pork and mushrooms, served with fresh herbs and traditional fish sauce. It is simple, delicious, and represents the elegance of Northern Vietnamese cuisine.
- Favourite Place in Hanoi
- My favourite place in Hanoi is the area around the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum. I especially enjoy watching the flag-raising and flag-lowering ceremonies, which are meaningful and patriotic events. The atmosphere is both peaceful and respectful, offering a unique glimpse into Vietnam's national identity.
- Favourite Local Experience
- I enjoy sharing stories about Vietnam's remarkable development and transformation over the years. I also love introducing travellers to the spiritual side of Vietnamese culture, especially the tradition of visiting temples and pagodas. These experiences help visitors understand both the modern progress and the deep-rooted cultural values of Vietnamese people.
