Key Information

Description

On this Hanoi City tour, your English-speaking driver and guide will pick you up from your hotel and then introduce you some famous and historical sites in Hanoi. First, we head to Tran Quoc Pagoda, which is located on an island east of West Lake (Tay Ho District). With 1500-year history, it is considered the oldest pagoda in Thang Long-Hanoi. It was the Buddhist center of Thang Long citadel in the Ly and Tran dynasties. With its historical and architectural values, Tran Quoc pagoda is famous for its sacred Buddha land, which attracts many Buddhists and visitors to Vietnam. At the Ho Chi Minh Complex, you’ll visit both the mausoleum and the former home of President Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam’s beloved national hero known affectionately as Uncle Ho, as well as the One Pillar Pagoda built over a square lake, and the Ho Chi Minh Museum. We then visit Vietnam Museum of Ethnology. This is the most recent yet probably the largest and undoubtedly the most interesting Museums in Hanoi and Viet Nam. There are both indoors and outdoors section, while the in – housed exhibition is particularly informative, the outdoors display and activities make the museum stand out from the rest. There are number of houses modeling after the traditional architecture of ethnic minorities, especially those who live in Northern and Central highlands. After lunch at local restaurant, you’ll pay a visit to the Temple of Literature — Vietnam’s first-ever university, dedicated to the philosopher Confucius. Next, we come to Hoa Lo prison which were built in 1899. The French kept mainly political prisoners here along with those awaiting sentencing at the nearby Court of Justice, also where American pilots who had been shot down and captured were kept as prisoners of war. The pilots called it, sarcastically, the “Hanoi Hilton.” John McCain was held here at various times during his five and a half years as a POW. At the end of a very full day, your guide will drop you off back at your hotel to relax and reflect on all you’ve experienced. Book online now to reserve your spot on the tour of a lifetime!
