You would never get disappoint - I thought this would be just another city tour. But from the quiet grace of Tran Quoc pagoda to the brutal honesty of Hoa Lo prison, I felt everything. Riding a cyclo around the old quarter was fun and gave me a new view of daily life. And the architecture around Hoan Kiem lake? Absolutely charming. I'll be back, not for so long, Hanoi.

Best way to enjoy Hanoi - The Ho Chi Minh mausoleum was powerful, not just the building, but the respect people showed. The wooden house where he lived was so simple. it made me think. Later, we visited the Imperial Citadel and Hoa Lo prison. The prison was haunting. I didn't expect to feel so emotional. But the water puppet show in the evening lifted my spirits

A wonderful Hanoi city tour - This was my first time in Hanoi and this day tour gave me best introduction. Highlights included HCM’s stilt house, temple of literature and st. joseph’s cathedral in old quarter. Our fantastic guide was patient, accommodating our dietary requirements and always ready with tips about food places to try later. If you want to see the main Hanoi attractions on your Hanoi trip, this is perfect.

So many different places in a day - I couldn’t believe how many different places we covered. From the calm beauty of West Lake to the history of Hoa Lo Prison, each stop added to my understanding of Vietnamese culture. The Temple of Literature was stunning, and lunch offered amazing food including pho and summer rolls. This tour really helped me explore Hanoi in just one day.

History, culture and food in Hanoi - I loved how this tour balanced history and food places. We saw tran quoc pagoda, Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, and Temple of Literature. These stops really showed the depth of Vietnamese culture. For lunch, we enjoyed pho and summer rolls, amazing food that made me glad I had come hungry. In the afternoon, Hoa Lo Prison was very moving, and ending at Hoan Kiem Lake was beautiful

I really enjoyed this Hanoi tour - If you want to experience Hanoi like a local, this tour is the number one choice. We were taken to different places that are not only famous but also deeply rooted in Vietnamese culture, such as the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long. The street food tour was a true culinary adventure, where we tried all kinds of amazing food from hot pho to classic banh mi. Be sure to come hungry and get ready to explore Hanoi to the fullest!

Hanoi: So many great stories - We had a truly special date with this tour. It started with a visit to the Temple of Literature, followed by a romantic street food tour through the Old Quarter. Every single one of the food places we visited brought a delightful surprise. The egg coffee was a sweet ending to this feast for the senses. Our guide had fantastic local knowledge, helping us understand more about Vietnamese culture through each dish.
