“A Insightful Tour from Start to Finish”
Julia is an amazing guide with great English who is very knowledgeable about Vietnam's history and resilience. She was mindful about our comfort and helped us get refreshments throughout the 3 hour tour.
As a first-generation Asian American whose parents fled the country as refugees, I truly felt like I was able to learn and start to reconnect with my identity from this tour and my only regret is that it was not longer! Julia expressed the sorrow of the aftermath of the war and hopes that we can continue the journey of healing for all Vietnamese people all around the world.
As an independent tour guide, Julia was able to teach in-depth information about Vietnamese spirituality, culture, and history. I much prefer this style of tour guiding because I didn't feel like we were being rushed from one spot to another and only learning surface level information. We visited the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and Museum, One Pillar Pagoda, B52 Museum and Lake, and walked along the local streets to see local life.
If you want to learn about Vietnam, Hanoi, and it's people in earnest, please go on this tour. You will not regret it!

“Amazing tour. Highly recommend ”
Booked this tour last minute and Thu made her best to still made my morning a success. Thu is incredibly knowledgeable and has a real talent for explaining things. Throughout the tour, she shared fascinating historical insights and details that made the experience truly memorable. I would definitely recommend Thu to anyone looking to learn more about Hanoi and Vietnam.

“Ho Chi Min Mausoleum Tour”
We did the mausoleum tour with Julia today and it was nothing short of fantastic!
We were the only people on the tour (maybe it is because the mausoleum is closed right now until November 26) but this didn't really matter because of our guide Julia! She took a lot of time showing us the Ho Chi Min museum the pagoda and the B52 she explained and lot and we also learned so much about Vietnam and its people and history (also from her personal perspective which I found especially interesting).
Also it was quite funny with her, would absolutely do it again (and that's coming from a humourless German couple)!

“Perfect and Personal Tour”
My mom and I had an absolutely spectacular tour with Julia visiting all the Ho Chi Minh and war sites. She was very knowledgeable about everything and made the tour feel personal. It didn’t feel like a guided tour from some company, it felt like we were hanging out with a friend as she showed off her country and its history.

“A Vietnam Highlight ”
We loved this tour. We were lucky to have a small group and we were able to visit lots of historical sites in Hanoi with Lisa who provided information that helped aid our understanding of the war, development and history of Vietnam. Our favourite part of the tour was spending time with Lisa. She is so kind, friendly and attentive. She taught us so much about the history as well as the culture and society of Vietnam today. Would recommend to anyone going to Hanoi to take part in this tour. You will learn so much and have a really fun time too.

“Hanoi city tour”
It was an informative tour, and I really enjoyed my time with Lisa. She is incredibly knowledgeable—from history and culture to religion and how it all connects to modern life.
What I appreciated the most was that the tour was held even though I was the only participant. She also gave me great recommendations for places to visit afterward. I learned so much.
I highly recommend this tour if you want to learn about the country from a cheerful and insightful local guide.

“Fantastic historical and cultural tour under Julia!”
This was one of the best tours I have ever done. Julia was clearly knowledgeable about Vietnamese history. She took us through the National Museum, and talked us through the entire timeline of Vietnam's history - starting from pre-independence under the French colonial rule, followed by Ho Chi Minh's struggles during the Vietnam war, and ending with the eventual reunification of the two Vietnams. I went in knowing absolutely nothing about Vietnamese history, and took away so so much out of this tour!
The part I enjoyed the most however, was certainly the visit to the temple and learning about religion and culture of Vietnam. Thoroughly enjoyed how each detail was clearly explained and related to the rich heritage of Vietnam. It's hard to list everything I've learnt here, so do join the tour to learn more!
Lastly, just want to thank Julia for being so accommodating the whole walking tour - making sure we weren't too tired, getting us water to drink, sharing with us good food options (even helping us order our lunch because of the language barrier!), and offering to take us on a spin on her motorbike the next time we go to Hanoi. Highly recommend this tour! And definitely request to do it with Julia :)

Nam was a great guide, knowledgeable and entertaining. I am really glad we did this tour that permit us to get deeper into vietnamese complex history, culture and the story of a key figure of the country : uncle Ho Chi Minh.

“Super interesting ”
We booked the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum tour and Julia was our guide. As we were the only ones we had a private tour from her. She was very welcoming and could give us so much (back-ground) information. I would highly recommend others to do this tour with a guide (and if you are lucky with Julia).

“Fantastic tour - 5 stars!”
I loved everything about this tour with Van who was a kind and patient guide.
As luck would have it, I was the only attendee so ended up having a private tour.
Van was a wealth of knowledge and I was able to ask many questions on areas of particular interest to me.
We also discussed economics and geopolitics outside the scope of the tour and that was great as well.
Everything was well-organized and interesting. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hanoi.

“Such a great experience ”
We booked a tour of the Mausoleum, Ho Chi Minh mueum and B-52 Bomber site and were lucky enough to have Julia as a tour guide.
From meeting up with her and throughout the tour we had a fantastic easy going afternoon. The amount of knowledge Julia has of Vietnam is astounding and we left with so much more knowledge on the country, its beliefs, history and its people.
Do yourself a favour, if you book a tour through free tours, request Julia as a guide. You will not be disappointed.
Thank you Julia, we hope to see you again next time we visit and might take tou up on that motorbike tour.

This is a tour not to be skipped if one really wants to understand the history of the country. It was nice to see also how all the museum employees knew her and were greeting us at the entrance. 100% recommend.

“Perfect and pleasant tour to Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and Museum”
Van showed us the Ho Chi Minh museum and mausoleum (but we could not enter to this last one because it was already closed in the afternoon) - and it was great! She tought us a lot of things about the country and its history, and she did it in an entertaining, funny and dynamic way. It felt like a walk with a friend rather than a classic tour. We had a sugar cane juice together and she recommended an amazing place for dinner. It was perfect!

“Five stars”
I was lucky enough to be the only person on my tour with Lisa on Sunday morning. Usually I wouldn't enjoy taking a tour alone as I prefer to just listen, but Lisa made it very easy. She is incredibly knowledgeable about her country's history and it was very refreshing to get a tour from a local's perspective. She brought me around the museum and gave me a lot of information I wouldn't have gained if I had just visited it by myself. We also took a break and she introduced me to the delicious Vietnamese salty coffee. I've often done tours where 3 hours feels like way too long and I'm tired at the end, but the time flew on this tour. I can't recommend it highly enough ????

“A Must-Do Tour in Hanoi – Rich in History”
We had an amazing experience on the Hanoi Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum & B-52 Bomber Sites Tour by Joyful Adventures. Our guide, Van, was absolutely fantastic—her knowledge of Vietnamese history was incredible, covering so many layers and perspectives that we had never encountered before. From the story of Ho Chi Minh to the impact of the B-52 bombings, she brought history to life in a powerful and accessible way.
The tour was very well-organized, with a perfect pace and flow between locations. Van made sure everyone was engaged, encouraging us to ask questions and share thoughts. There was a great level of interaction, and it felt more like a conversation than a lecture, which made it all the more memorable.
If you’re visiting Hanoi, we wholeheartedly recommend this tour. It’s educational, moving, and incredibly well-led. Van’s passion and storytelling made it one of the best experiences of our trip!

“Significant Tour on Reunification Day”
It was bad that other tourists didn’t show up but it was good to me as it was like a private tour. Anyhow, the tour was very relevant and siginificant as it was also Vietnam’s Reunification 50 Years Anniversary Day. I learned a lot about their history and Julia was very knowledgeable, entertaining and the tour was light. I came from another tour in the morning and I just went with her to the next. She showed me local ways! I highly appreciate and recommend this tour! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We loved our tour of the Ho Chi Minh Museum and B52 bomber site. We had a orivate tour with Nam and he was absolutely the best guide ! He had so many stories to tell us about Vietnam history but also about buddhism !
He took us to non-touristic places in little residential streets which we loved !
I would highly recommend this tour for anyone who has more time in Hanoi or for non-first timer in the city !

“Very detailed walking tour”
Yesterday we went on a walking tour of the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum, museum, one pillar pagoda and the B52 museum and lake. The tour was led my Julia who spoke excellent English.
First of all we observed the changing of the guard outside the mausoleum, we then looked at the Presidential Palace and the pagodas. Julie gave us lots of information about each of them and explained the significance of each part of the pagoda. She also explained although Vietnam isn’t a religious country they see the pagodas as a place where they can worship their ancestors.
Without a guide the Ho Chi Minh museum wouldn’t have been very interesting as somethings weren’t explained very well. Julia was able to go into more detail about the exhibits.
We then went to the B52 museum and then the lake where there is still a B52 from the war in a lake.
Our guide also answered lots of questions about life in Vietnam and even helped me buy some fruit.
Would highly recommend this tour, you find out so much more with a guide.

Vân from Joyful Adventures showed us round the mausoleum, museum and B-52 sites. It was a brilliant morning, she had so much information and opinions to share and going round with her made the experience infinitely better than it may have otherwise been. All of the Joyful Adventures team were very friendly and discovering their company has definitely been a highlight of our big trip! Could not recommend more, go!
