We didn't have a very good experience with our tour guide, Hanna. Her English was difficult to understand at times. She would not consider all the group and their needs. She really tried but, wasn't in her. 
She is a nice person and with time would develop better Western personal skills to attend Occidental passengers.

The only way to see SaPa from Hanoi is by a private tour and Tony is the best. He was available on our time schedule which made for a comfortable and safe tour. Tony's insider information made for a special tour as we were able to see areas that most tourists would miss.

My friends and I had a very
Nice 10 day trip planned and executed by Tony. It was our first time in Vietnam so we wanted a tour guide to take us around. It was really the
Trip of a lifetime. Tony was great. We spent the first night in Hanoi then we drove to Sapa. It was an amazing drive. So much to see and absorb. The rice paddies are
Breathtaking. I think Sapa was my
Favorite part of the trip! We were led on a hike
With a local guide set
Up through Tony through the local village of the Black Hmong. Great experience. After Sapa Tony drove us to Mu Cang Chai. We stayed at the Mu Cang Chai Ecolodge. The cabins were very nice! Loved the feeling of being in touch with nature. After Mu Cang Chai we
Went on a short overnight cruise on Ha Long Bay. Its a must. The boat we were in was beautiful. Room was beautiful and of course views were top notch! After
That we spent two nights in Hanoi and enjoyed doing some
Shopping before we headed back home.
I highly recommend Tony
And his tours. Knowledgeable,
Trustworthy,
Funny and patient! Would definitely use Tony again and recommend to
All
Friends and family! Thank you Tony!

We booked with Tony online. All details were agreed upon prior to the trip. Tony only asked for a small deposit which was easily taken care of. Tony, and driver Long, were right on schedule for pick up at the airport, which was wonderful after flying 25 hours in the air to get to Hanoi. While in the private car ride, we were informed we could not stay at the agreed upon hotel (La Siesta) so Tony booked us our rooms at a different hotel (Grande Collection). Big difference in the level of comfort between the two hotels. We were not happy, but it was only for a short night, and we were exhausted from the long travel to Vietnam. We booked Tony for a 10 day private guide to see Hanoi, Sapa, Halong Bay and Mucanchai. Tony and Long. both were pleasant and took us to some of the most mind-blowing scenery we ladies have ever seen! Mucanchai- stayed in a "tree-house" one night (so much fun!), Halong Bay- The Peony boat cruise (AMAZING food, staff and sight-seeing), Sapa- hiked rice terraces with the Black Hmong Tribal ladies, Hanoi- shopping, eating, shopping, eating... Tony and Long were right on schedule each morning to pick us up for our day's adventures and were promptly on-time for our very early morning departure ride back to the airport. I would definitely use Tony again, but I would suggest booking your own hotels to avoid any potential misunderstandings. Tony was helpful and respectful to us (3 American ladies traveling alone who do not speak the language) and Long was a perfect gentleman, always opening the doors for us gals! The service was pretty dependable and I would definitely book with Tony again WHEN we return!! Thank you Tony and Long for keeping us safe and showing us your beautiful country. Our experience with Tony was the most special trip of our lives- keep in mind we 3 gals are 30 year Flight Attendants who are seasoned travelers!

I found Tony online and requested a guide for 5 days and a driver for 2 days.
He assigned Giang Thi Mee to me as my guide. She was a small super fun and
energetic guide. With her knowledge, wit, humor, and patience we had an amazing
time. I emailed my desires and she was able to get me just where I wanted to be.
we also took Cabs, and Motor Bikes just like I like to do. On my last day I went
to a fantastic dinner with her family, which sealed a frindship for life and a
guarantee that I will be back next year. Same Guide, same Driver, same Company
Tony Tours. Thanks again

My wife and I did a 12 day tour of Northern Vietnam with Tony. Tony was with us for the whole trip form meeting us at the airport to dropping us off 12 days later. We stayed in comfortable hotels which he selected, these were all interesting and presented contrasting experiences. The tour was tailor made essentially a variation on the Northern Loop with a side trip to Ban Gioc waterfall, time in BaBe Park and Ha Long bay at the end. Organisation was very smooth and we saw and experienced things we would have missed on a group tour or if travelling on our own. Driving on the Northern mountain roads is a very different experience to driving in Europe or the USA, be prepared to adjust. We deeply appreciated the personal attention and the excellent photo memories Tony sent us of the trip. Not the cheapest tour available but you get what you pay for, and the extra cost was not great compared to some of our other expenses. Pay close attention when contacting Tony there are several companies operating with the same name (not unusual for Hanoi).

After having a great experience with the same company the day before with a small group near Ninh Binh, I went to one of their office to book a daytrip to Halong bay. I was told that it will be a small group, private little van . I was excited. The reality was completely different. A giant bus came to pick me up at my hotel. THe guide ( Dragon ) was absolutely horrible and very rude to all of us. He made me change seat 6 times as apparently every seat was suppose to be taken and told one guy that he couldnt nap on the bus ( wait what??). Anyway after few hours we arrived in Halong bay. i felt the entire time like a kid in a school kid . They put us on the boat, he decided who will seat with who on the boat. We werent free to decide. He then told us that we had stay seated. Food was really aberage and actually pretty bad. After dinner, Dragon our guide went to get a beer and kept tellign of people for everything they were doing. The entire day was absolutely crap, i jsut felt like I have been scamed. I learned nothing about the Halong Bay. Nothing at all. The only nice thing of that tour was the canoe but it was just so hectic and badly organised with no smile . Then I find out after chatting with other tourists that I paid almost double than everyone else . The tour wasnt operated by Tony's tour but with "Dragon" something which they didnt told me about. I wish that I never booked this tour.

We were three very loud, boisterous Americans, who were traveling with a twelve year old to Vietnam. We required something that encompassed the local, rugged flavors of Northern Vietnam, while having the safety and knowledge of a guide who could help us. From our very first contact with Tony, we found him to be a total professional. He was able to manage the itinerary which we presented him. His willingness to roll with the punches was both surprising and remarkable. Often impulsive, we would often change our minds and Tony would coolly nod and deal with any eventuality.
We wanted to experience the inner Vietnam and he was terrific at arranging each experience for us. We were able to stay in a fishing village in Cat Be Island and he roughed it with us.
Once in Hanoi, Tony introduces us to his family and his wife Nhung Rose. A phenomenal cook, she would take us to the local market each night and prepare beautiful home cooked meals that were a highlight of the trip.
In summary, if you are looking for a truly professional guide, with an even temper and a conscientious approach to the job, then Tony is your guy. 5 stars!!!!!!

Tony is a absolutely trustworthy, competent and reliable guide. He has also good sense of humor. After arriving at the airport we entrusted him with a sum of money so that he could pay for all expenditure such as bustickets, restaurant bills etc. Every evening he delivered a absolutely correct accounting. We laughed a lot together and I had a lot of fun visiting with him museums and points of interest. I can highly recomand him and his service.

Went to Pu Loung and homestay. Tony knows his stuff, speaks good English and is always willing to please. Of our month in Vietnam, Tony’s three day personal tour was the our favourite. If your thinking about Vietnam you should include tony for part of it. Investment in a knowledgeable and good English tour guide is well worth the cash highly recommend Tony
