Hoan Do Ngoc is an English speaking tour guide from Dien Bien Phu, in North Vietnam. He graduated from Hanoi Tourism College in 1999, and Law University in 2008.

He is an extremely knowledgeable local guide and mainly covers the extensive battle grounds at Dien Bien Phu, where the French made a last ditch stand. They were soundly defeated by the Viet Minh communist guerrillas in May 1954, which then led to wider  US involvement in Vietnam, as they were supporting the French.

The battleground is fascinating, from the French General’s porcelain bath in his private bunker, to the extensive network of  trenches and caves where General Võ Nguyên Giáp (who is regarded as one of the greatest military strategists of the 20th century) and his generals planned their strategy to defeat the French.

Hoan can show you all the key battle sites, on the 9 hills surrounding Dien Bien Phu, where each French fort was named after a beautiful girl back in France, each one rumoured to be named after the commanding French General Christian de Castries many mistresses.

A Dien Bien native, Hoan has a lifetime of experience on the battlefield history and the many ethnic minorities’ different cultures and customs who live in the surrounding area.

Hoan currently operates a travel company in Dien Bien Phu, offering a variety of tours that cover historical, cultural, and exploration experiences in the region across Northwest Vietnam.

He has welcomed so many tourists from different countries, especially western journalists and returning French veterans and their families to visit the war memorials there.
