Real stories from travelers who explored Hanoi, Ninh Binh, and Ha Giang with YESD through local food, cultural walks, and authentic guided trips.
We took the Street Food Tour on one of our free nights in Hanoi. We met our guide at a nearby coffee shop and then walked to Old Town for the tour. We went to at least six different restaurants and stalls.
It was a fantastic introduction to Vietnamese street food. We were confident the company chose safe food stops and we were so full by the time we finished! Delish! We were introduced to pho, bun cha, fresh beer, fresh spring rolls, egg coffee, and more.
Our guide was very knowledgeable. Care was taken to work around our food allergies and sensitivities.
I booked 3 trips by YesD. I did the walking tour through Hanoi, went to Ninh Binh and have been to Ha Giang. It’s the best experience I have ever had.
The first day they showed me Hanoi, told stories you never heard before and were really enthusiastic. The second and third day I went to Ninh Binh with a tour guide, did a boat tour in Trang An and slept in a homestay. Also here the people were really friendly and the landscape is beautiful.
Later I went to Ha Giang. I did a trekking tour of one day and 2 days backseat on a motorbike. The scenery and rice paddies are unbelievable. I can’t describe the feeling after these trips. I would really recommend these trips to everyone.
Yesd is dedicated to providing travelers with authentic experiences that would be hard to find elsewhere. They are also passionate about helping local communities, which is one of many reasons that this program is so special.
They offer a wide variety of tours to suit any traveler’s budget and preferences. The tours around Hanoi were awesome because the tour guides were so friendly and knowledgeable.
There is no way I would have learned as much as I did about Vietnamese history and culture if it weren’t for yesd’s tour guides. I would definitely recommend them to any traveler, as they can make your trip comfortable and unique.
