Xin chào! My name is Dinh Thanh, and I’m proud to call Hanoi, Vietnam home.
My career in travel began in 1995, when I started out as a tour guide and went on to work as a tour manager, leading group tours across Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. Those years on the road gave me a deep, first-hand understanding of Southeast Asia’s cultures, landscapes and people — and a clear sense of what travelers truly value in a well-run trip.
In 2005, I set up my own company, Jewel Tours, with a focus on personalized tour programs built around each traveler’s interests rather than one-size-fits-all itineraries. That founding principle still guides how we design every trip today.
Now, with 30 years in the travel industry, I continue to guide tours personally whenever I can, while overseeing Jewel Tours to ensure every client receives the highest standard of service. I remain committed to sharing the beauty and diversity of Southeast Asia with travelers from around the world.
