About

Experience the heart of Hanoi in just one day. Discover the best highlights of Ha Noi.

What you'll do

You'll be amazed at how much of Vietnam's former capital you can see in just one day – all it takes is the right planning. On this 7-hour tour of the city, you'll get to discover Hanoi's true character through its natural landscapes, museums, places of worship, and more. Right after a convenient pickup from your hotel, you'll visit the Ho Chi Minh Complex – a traffic-free area of monuments, memorials, and botanical gardens, accompanied by an informative explanation from your guide. You'll then go on to see the One Pillar Pagoda and Tran Quoc Pagoda before stopping by the Temple of Literature, Vietnam's first national university. After a relaxing lunch, there will still be time left for a trip to Hoan Kiem Lake and more. At the end of the tour, there's the option of a water puppet show, traditional cyclo tour, or avoiding the traffic mayhem to be delivered seamlessly back to your hotel.
