    1 hour

  • Lake of the Restored Sword (Hoan Kiem Lake) (Pass By)

    Before a traditional Vietnamese lunch at restaurant, you’ll gain an appreciation for Vietnamese architecture at the Temple of Literature, the first university of Vietnam, and view Long Bien Bridge, built during the French occupation. In the afternoon, discover the many customs of more than 50 ethnic minorities in Vietnam at the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology. Then enjoy the beautiful environs of Hoan Kiem Lake (Sword Lake), stopping by Ngoc Son Temple (Temple of the Jade Mountain), situated on a small islet in the lake.

10 of 10 Hanoi City Tour

The experience lived up to its advertised promises, with a generous and knowledgeable guide leading the way. The lunch provided was enjoyable, adding to the overall experience. However, when competing with other groups, the guide's strained voice made it difficult to hear. To address this, I suggest providing more information while in transit or outside venues, where there's less ambient noise. Despite this minor issue, the tour provided a very comprehensive introduction to Hanoi, and I came away with a deeper understanding of the city.

Great value!

Published on Mar, 2024

The young female guide was truly excellent, possessing a commendable command of English and a wealth of knowledge that made our tour engaging and informative. We were fortunate to witness the changing of the guard at the mausoleum, explore Ho Chi Minh's residence and government buildings, and admire the vintage cars he once used. Additionally, our itinerary included visits to the university, temples, and a nearby art gallery, providing a well-rounded cultural experience. To cap off our day, we enjoyed a delightful Vietnamese meal at a charming restaurant near St. Peter's Church in the Old Quarter, conveniently close to my hotel.
