Born and raised in Hanoi, Vũ’s roots run deep in the city’s chaotic charm. As a Local Buddy, he brings a personal touch to every tour, shaped by his life as an artist. “I’ve always been into art,” he says, “and being a Local Buddy lets me share that with people while showing off Hanoi’s true culture.” His fluency in English opens doors to international guests, but it’s his artistic vision that sets him apart.

Unlike standard tour guides who stick to crowded landmarks, Vũ sees Hanoi as a living canvas.
