Highlights
  • Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum - (Optional)
    First, we will pick up you and head to Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum Complex. A traffic-free area of botanical gardens, monuments, memorials and pagodas. Within the complex are Ho Chi Minh’s Mausoleum, Ho Chi Minh’s Stilt House and the Presidential Palace, Ho Chi Minh Museum and the One Pillar Pagoda.
  • Temple of Literature & National University - (Optional)
    Temple of Literature & National University is originally built as a university in 1070 dedicated to Confucius, scholars and sages, the building is extremely well preserved and is a superb example of traditional-style Vietnamese architecture. Visiting the Temple of Literature you will discover historic buildings from the Ly and Tran dynasties in a revered place that has seen thousands of doctors’ graduate in what has now become a memorial to education and literature.
  • Hoa Lo Prison - (Optional)
    Hoa Lo Prison ironically nicknamed the ‘Hanoi Hilton’ by US prisoners of war (POWs) during the American War. Most exhibits relate to the prison’s use up to the mid-1950s, focusing on the Vietnamese struggle for independence from France.
  • Ancient House - (Optional)

Great tour by enthusiastic guides - A great way to see Hanoi sights at a low cost. Mary our tour guide was excellent meeting us earlier than booked as we arrived early. He English, knowledge and enthusiasm were very good and we felt safe and comfortable touring with her. Highly recommend using this volunteer service and rewarding the tour guides appropriately for giving up their time and travelling some distance to provide their services.

Super informative tour with Gracie - Really enjoyed my tour with Gracie. She was very educative on the city, the landmarks and the political history. I learnt a lot from her and her company was super pleasant. Very smiley and her English proficiency was top level, which made it much easier for me to grasp. Thank you!

Perfect tours in Hanoi with Làhn ! - We have such a great time with our guide Làhn. She’s so friendly, have a very good level in English and explain us lots of things. We understand Vietnamese culture thanks to her. It was very amazing we have done lots of different activities (and eat lots of traditional dishes). We met each other several times in Hanoi. So I highly recommend these tours and even more with Làhn so ask for her 😊

Was interesting - The guide showed me many things in the city that I wouldn't have noticed without such a tour. This gave me an even deeper insight into the culture, both past and present.

5 - Star Experience - Top notch tour! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and provided an experience that we will not forget. Others I traveled with chose to explore on their own and quickly realized the mistake they made. If you have limited time in country, the guided tour is the way to go.
