Things to note
Before the tour, there’s something we need to tell you first: As you may know, we are a nonprofit organization; and this is our Fees policy: All tours from the “Hanoi Free Private Tour Guide” are provided at no charge. Therefore, our guides are mostly students and working people who want to take some free time to show you around the beauties of Vietnam, so you won’t need to pay for our guide’s service. However, as mentioned, our guides are free (they get no fee from this activity), so could you please cover all incurred expenses (such as, ticket, food, transport), if any, for both guides and you during the tour. Please feel free to let us know if you are ok with it.
Free Cancellation
You are free to cancel a booking anytime. We kindly remind you to cancel bookings you cannot arrive for. Being reported as absent decreases your customer level points and the benefits you can enjoy.
