Overview

This half-day small group tour in Hanoi offers two choices: a morning or an afternoon schedule, each lasting about four and a half hours and including lunch at a local restaurant. The morning tour starts with a visit to Tran Quoc Pagoda, located on Golden Fish Island in West Lake. This pagoda dates back to the 6th century and is one of the oldest in the city. The tour continues to the Ho Chi Minh Complex, where visitors can see the preserved body of Ho Chi Minh and walk through the garden that was his home and office from 1954 to 1969. Next is the One Pillar Pagoda, a distinctive structure dedicated to the Goddess of Mercy. The tour then includes the Vietnam Ethnology Museum, which presents information about the cultures of Vietnam's 54 ethnic groups. On Mondays, the Women's Museum replaces the ethnology museum visit. The morning tour ends after lunch, providing a focused look at Hanoi's history and culture. The afternoon tour begins with hotel pickup and lunch at a local restaurant. The first stop is the Temple of Literature (Van Mieu-Quoc Tu Giam), established in 1070 and known for its gardens and historical architecture related to Vietnam's educational history. Afterward, the tour visits Hoa Lo Prison, known as the "Hanoi Hilton," featuring exhibits about Vietnam's past. The last stop is Ngoc Son Temple on Hoan Kiem Lake, which is accessed by crossing a red bridge. The tour concludes with a return to the hotel. Both options provide a structured way to see key sites in Hanoi within a half-day timeframe, with a guide leading the group and lunch included.
