What to expect

Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, is a city steeped in over a thousand years of history. It has witnessed countless events and stands as a testament to Vietnam's past.

Your journey begins with a pickup from your hotel. You'll head straight to a local restaurant where you'll have the chance to savour authentic Vietnamese cuisine. Following this culinary experience, the tour continues to the Temple of Literature, one of Northern Vietnam's most attractive tourist spots. Established in 1070, it was the first university in the country, and it remains a symbol of its long-standing commitment to education.

The next stop on your itinerary is Hoa Lo Prison, built by the French between 1886 and 1901 during their occupation of Vietnam. Known as 'A Hell on Earth', it now serves as a war museum, offering insight into Vietnam's struggle against French rule. After this sober reflection, the bus will take you back to your hotel.

For those seeking additional experiences, different options are available at an extra cost. You can take a 45-minute cyclo ride around Hanoi's Old Quarter after visiting Hoa Lo Prison or watch a 50-minute Water Puppet Show, a traditional Vietnamese art form. Alternatively, combine both for an immersive cultural experience.
