“Best tour you’ll ever do in Hanoi”
We had a fantastic experience walking through the French Quarter’s with Julia and I couldn’t recommend it more. Not only is Julia incredibly knowledgeable of all the history of Vietnam but also she was very kind and thought us a lot. Don’t hesitate to book this tour!

“Awesome Tour”
Julia was a wealth of knowledge who understands the history and political background of her city and country very well. She was awesome.with our 11 year old son and 15 year old daughter constantly engaging them with information and facts that she had explained throughout the tour. We would highly recommend Julia and the Freetour.com.

“A Truly Memorable and Personal Tour—Even in the Rain!”
I had the wonderful fortune of being the only guest on this Hanoi French Quarter walking tour, which turned out to be an incredibly special and personal experience. My guide was not only knowledgeable, but her genuine passion for Hanoi’s history and culture shone through every step of the way. Even as grey clouds gathered and the threat of rain loomed, she remained upbeat and determined to make sure I enjoyed every moment.
Her motivation was infectious—she shared fascinating stories and little-known facts about the French Quarter, pointing out architectural details and hidden gems I would have never noticed on my own. I could see how much she loves her city and how eager she was to make my tour memorable. Despite the weather, she kept a smile on her face and made sure I was comfortable, offering to adjust the pace or find shelter whenever needed.
What truly stood out was her dedication. Even when a few raindrops started to fall, she didn’t let it dampen her enthusiasm. Instead, she used the opportunity to show me cozy cafes and charming spots perfect for escaping a light shower, all while continuing to share her insights. Her commitment to delivering an outstanding experience, no matter the circumstances, was truly exceptional.
I left the tour not only with a deeper appreciation for Hanoi’s French Quarter, but also with a sense of gratitude for having met such a passionate and motivated guide. If you’re looking for a tour that feels personal, insightful, and full of heart—even on a rainy day—this is the one to choose. I can’t recommend it highly enough!

We followed with a lot of historical info, visited some hidden gems of Hanoi, tried some food in what was the best walking tour we ever had! If you can, just join them and enjoy the tour!

“Discovering Hanoi Beyond”
We had a great experience on the Hanoi Free French Quarter Walking Tour. It ended up being just the two of us and the guide, so it felt like a private tour. Our guide was a friendly local who clearly knew the area well and shared lots of interesting insights—not just the typical tourist facts, but also personal stories and local context that made the walk really engaging.
What we appreciated most was that we didn’t just stick to the main streets; we explored quiet alleys and lesser-known corners of the French Quarter that we would never have found on our own. The guide also gave us some excellent tips for local food spots and things to do after the tour.
At first, it was a bit challenging to understand the guide’s English, but as the tour went on, communication became much easier and we really enjoyed the conversation.
Overall, it was a relaxed, authentic, and enriching experience. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to go beyond the surface and see a different side of Hanoi!

“A comprehensive tour of Hanoi”
I travel widely, and I’ve done dozens of free tours; this is one of the best ever. With only two people on the tour, our guide could’ve easily canceled. Instead, she spent nearly 4 hours taking us through the nooks and crannies of old Hanoi. Julia took us to hidden coffee shops, old bookshops, temples, etc Julia was an incredible guide: energetic and very knowledgeable about the city. I give this tour the highest possible recommendation.

“Incredible Walking Tour — A Must-Do in Hanoi!”
I booked a last-minute walking tour through @freetourcom, and it quickly became one of the best parts of my trip. Our guide, Lisa, was outstanding, knowledgeable, passionate, and easy to talk to. Over 3.5–4 hours, she shared Vietnam’s fascinating history and culture in a way that felt personal and engaging.
Beyond the historical sites, Lisa introduced us to hidden local areas and great Vietnamese food spots.
If you’re looking for something truly memorable, I highly recommend this experience. Thank you again, Lisa!

This tour was thoughtfully organised with Lisa taking us on a journey through the history of Vietnam and its French colonial period in particular. Lisa was extremely knowledgeable and shared fun facts that helps us understand better how historic events shaped Vietnamese life and culture. The walk was also quite pleasant through the green and beautiful French quarter. We also visited the prison which was fun and informative.

“I was so fortunate to have Julia as a guide!”
I was interested in learning the history of Hanoi in order to understand the modern city and its people today. I got this knowledge and so much more with my guide/new friend Julia. I was the only tour participant which allowed Julia and I to get deeper into the area history & culture as well as discuss (over tea & a snack :)) modern Vietnam and society. We spent hours talking and Julia was so generous with information and insights AND amazing restaurant recs! I'd certainly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Vietnam.

This was a fantastic addition to my time in Hanoi, so glad I picked it!

Wonderful tour with Van, our visit to the French Quarter definitely the highlight of our trip to Hanoi. Wide, less crowded streets, fantastic architecture all explained in knowledgeable detail by our personable guide. Topped off by an eye opening visit to the Hoa Lo Prison to better understand the struggles against the French occupation and Vietnam war. Not to be missed!

“This trip was the best way to end our week in Hanoi”
I do however wish I would have done it at the beginning. Our tour guide, Nam Tran was the absolute best. If I could give out more than 5 stars I would. As a history teacher myself, Nam taught us so much more about the culture and history that you would miss by just reading the information. Nam had a plethora of knowledge and experience that he shared the entire walk. If you are wanting to learn about the culture and history of Vietnam, experience some hidden local secrets, and explore the beauty of Hanoi, then you need to book this trip ASAP. Thanks again to Nam and this tour for showing us so much about the beautiful city of Hanoi.

“Spannende Tour, die man nicht verpassen sollte”
Wir hatten eine sehr informative und kurzweilige Tour mit Lisa, die wir nur empfehlen können! Lisa ist ein fantastischer Guide mit ganz viel Hintergrundwissen. Wir haben nicht nur sehr viel Wissenswertes über die Geschichte Vietnams und der Menschen mitgenommen, sondern hatten auch sehr viel Spaß. Lisa hat uns Plätze gezeigt, die wir ohne sie niemals entdeckt hätten. Zeit für Fotos und Restaurant-Tipps hat sie sich auch noch genommen. Es war ein tolles Erlebnis, an das wir noch gerne zurückdenken.

“Amazing historical tour with hidden gems! ”
We just had the most amazing tour with Vân! She was so knowledgeable, funny and chatty. It felt like walking around Hanoi with a friend, we saw so many places we would have walked straight past and learnt so many details we never would have known. It was a great way to explore this part of the city and Vân made the tour so special. The tour of Hoa Lo prison was harrowing and Vân really highlighted the history and conditions the prisoners would have lived through. We really recommend going on a walking tour with this company!

“The other side of Hanoi”
This tour was absolutely amazing! For us meant a second chance of Hanoi because we arrived from some small towns in the south of Vietnam and we found Hanoi a bit noisy (common in big cities as this one). This tour gave us a different view of the city, it’s full of historic content, local costumes and everything related by a great local tour guid, Lisa, who speaks English fluently and has a beautiful energy and passion for what she does.
Thanks a lot

“Hoa Lo Prison and Little Paris Free Tour in Hanoi”
We really enjoyed the tour with Vân.
We visited the french quarter, where we learned a lot about the colonies. In addition Vân showed us some hidden places, which were really beautiful.
Vân also guided us through the Hoa Lo prison. She knew a lot and answered all our questions.
It was a really special tour, since we were just a group of 3 people.
Vân is such a friendly, well informed guide.
We highly recommend that tour and would do it again! Thank you so much.

My husband and I have really enjoyed our tour today with Julia learning about the French Quarter and Hoa Lo Prison. She was so interesting to listen to as well as being a very friendly and kind person. We learnt so much today about the past French colonial rule, and the influence on Hanoi architecture and cuisine.She explained so much about Vietnam culture and history but in a very easy to understand and entertaining way. Along the way we were able to sample delicious ice cream and coffee (in a great coffee shop that we would never have discovered on our own). The tour through the prison was also done sensitively with excellent insights from a Vietnamese perspective. We loved visiting the little bookshop. Thank you Julia - you are an amazing guide!

“Fantastic informative tour provided by lovely fun tour guide (Li”
The tour guide Lisa kept in touch with us before the tour to guide us safely to the starting point - where we met the other guests Michaela- Lisa navigated us expertly around the French Quarter and finishing off with an informative tour of the prison - Lisa knowledge was that of an expert. But what made the tour 6-star was Lisa’s fun personality - in between the tour she talked about her life and the life of Vietnamese people explaining and telling us lots of interesting facts and funny stories- Lisa has a fantastic personality and is such a lovely person - who we missed so much when the tour finished - we hoped we could meet up again. We enjoyed lunch with Michaela who was also a lovely person it was a shame Lisa couldn’t join us but she had another tour to run

“Best tour ever”
I had a great and special tour with my guide Vân. She guided me through the French Quarter, showing me many different sights but also hidden places that a normal tourist wouldn't get to see.
She shared her great knowledge of Vietnamese culture and history with me, but also showed interest in my background. Vân was a very enthusiastic, lovely and wonderful guide.
I highly recommend this tour to any Hanoi tourist, if you don't do it you are missing out.

“Genuine, authentic, one of the best tours, I had recently”
We had a very special tour with Julia, today. She was knowlegable , and very enthusiastic about Viernamese culture and history. As we were so lucky to be the only guests, she personalised the tour for us. We visited a great amount of French colonial building, learning about the history, sipping vietnamese coffe in hidden cafee, soaking in the vibe of the combimation of the old Indochina and todays Vietnam.
After visiting the famous prison, called Hanoi Hilton, learning about the less glamorous part of the opression, she even walked us back to the hotel, as this was our first day in Hanoi.
I am already excited about their other tour, in the old town, that we will participate tomorrow, and I was not planning to take it at all,but Julia impressed us that much that we signedup for that too. I recommend with all my heart, this women owned, enthusiasic team for everyone, who truly want to know more about this fantastic city and its people!

“Tour intéressant à Hanoi”
Ce tour fût très intéressant avec de nombreux endroits que nous n'aurions sûrement pas trouver par nous même. Notre guide Julia était super et nous a donné de très bons conseils et informations, notamment sur la période coloniale française.

“The nicest walking tour we’ve been on”
We had a free walking tour with Julia. We were a small intimate group of 4 people in total, and it was such a great tour! Julia is very informative and knows a great lot about Hanoi’s history and culture and knows how to present it to people from all over the world. We gained a better understanding of Vietnam as a country????

“Wonderful casual walking tour around Hanoi”
My friend and I did a 9AM French quarter walking tour with Lisa and we loved it!! We were the only ones for our time slot and so it was a very personable tour experience, with Lisa happily answering any questions we had along the way. We learned so much about Hanoi's colonial history and architecture and even had a yummy coffee break. At the end, Lisa gave a great recommendation for lunch near Hoa Lo Prison, which my friend and I really appreciated. Would highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to immediately situate themselves better in Hanoi.

“long but great”
The guide Nam was energetic, engaged and knowledgeable. I really enjoyed the pace of the walking (not too fast) but he squeezed too much in and it took 5 hours. Personally I would have preferred to miss some stops and finish sooner. But the places we visited were great and we did choose to go inside Hoa Loa prison, and stayed there quite a long time.
Would recommend, just be aware it might be longer than estimated.

“Excellent tour”
We had such a great time learning about and exploring parts of Hanoi with our guide Ván. Ván was extremely knowledgeable and took us to places we would not have thought to go to on our own and gave us a greater understanding and appreciation for what have shaped Hanoi and the resilience of its people.
Ván was friendly and approachable and quickly made the group feel at ease and was open to answering questions along the way.
We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hanoi.

“Lining up and paying..to get into prison”
Got see parts of Hanoi that never would have known about on my own.
The walking tour by Joyful Adventures's Julia, was a "gentle" active recovery workout .. 3hrs of walking.
We even stopped to get ice cream!
For myself, its always enlightening to learn about a place I am exploring/visiting.
No better way than great weather and a walking tour; with a very knowledgeable guide.
Thank you Julia for a wonderful 1/2 day.
I would recommend people take this tour if they want ice cream and some knowledge to sprinkle on it. :-)

Thank you Lisa for this tour. We were able to learn a lot of facts and history about Hanoi and Vietnam. Furthermore, we could discover a few hidden gems in Hanoi. Lisa was very friendly and it's very pleasant to have a guide like her. There were only 2 people including me, so we can feel like we're discovering the city with some friends. I highly recommend this tour for those who visit Hanoi.

“Excellent tour of the French Quarter with Julia”
We booked this tour because we wanted to experience something a bit different from the usual touristy spots in Hanoi—and it absolutely did not disappoint!
If you’re interested in learning more about Hanoi and falling in love with the country as much as we did, I highly recommend this walking tour with Julia. She’s really sweet and friendly…and speaks fluent English. ????
The tour focused on the French Quarter of Hanoi, and Julia took us to several hidden gems and fascinating places of interest. Her stories about the history of these spots made the entire experience really worthwhile and unforgettable. ☺️
As an added bonus, Julia is a fantastic photographer! ???? We got some amazing family photos at all the interesting locations. ????
I’ve already recommended this tour to another family visiting Vietnam from Australia because that’s how much we enjoyed Julia’s insights and stories about the French influence on Hanoi. ????

“Amazing Tour!”
t was delightful to explore such a beautiful and elegant part of the city. The experience was enhanced by the presence of our guide, Julia, who demonstrated deep knowledge of the history behind every corner we explored. We did not expect such an authentic tour, with Julia allowing us to wander through the picturesque typical houses of the French Quarter, uncovering astonishing secrets in such a vibrant area. The visit to the prison was also remarkable, with Julia detailing every aspect, truly enabling us to understand the Vietnamese reality during the resistance period. We also had the opportunity to interact with other guides, colleagues of Julia, who were all extremely friendly and attentive, ensuring the best possible experience. To all of you, a big thank you for making our experience in Hanoi so unforgettable!
