Hi, I'm Sofia, a passionate Hanoi local who loves sharing the city’s vibrant mix of history, culture, and cuisine. To me, Hanoi’s food is more than just delicious - it’s a reflection of our people’s way of life, shaped by generations of Vietnamese, French and Chinese influence. I love wandering through the Old Quarter’s bustling streets, sampling authentic street food, or catching a traditional water puppet show that brings our stories to life. Whether it’s exploring the French Quarter, Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, West Lake, or the nearby traditional craft villages, I enjoy helping guests discover the real Hanoi - its flavors, traditions, and the warmth of its people.
