8:00: You will be picked up from your hotel in the Old Quarter and embark on your journey to the Temple of Literature, also known as Quoc Tu Giam, the first university of Vietnam. It was originally a school for princes and royal descendants but eventually changed into a school for high-achieving commoners.
Then, visit One Pillar Pagoda, an important landmark for Hanoians. As you step foot in the pagoda, you can view the surrounding terrain, related with historical imagery as if transporting us to a heroic past to commemorate and be grateful for their outstanding merit.
The Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum is close by. Now, you’ll have the opportunity to delve deeper into the life and legacy of President Ho Chi Minh, explore his house on stilts, and gain a profound understanding of this revered figure's enduring influence

by TripadvisorBeutiful Experience with Best Price Travel & Hang Moon! 1034140638 12-Day Vietnam Tour – Beutiful Experience with Best Price Travel & Hang Moon! My wife and I recently completed a 12-day tour of Vietnam, travelling from North to South, and it was an unforgettable experience. Thanks to Best Price Travel and the amazing Hang Moon. throughout the trip, Moon was with us every step of the way. Her communication was outstanding, staying in touch via WhatsApp and ensuring every part of our trip ran smoothly. The itinerary was well organised and balanced, covering all the highlights of Vietnam. Every detail, from airport transfers to hotel check-ins, tours, and internal transport was perfectly timed and stress free. The 4-star hotels we stayed in were fantastic, all including buffet breakfasts that exceeded our expectations. Lunches (when included) were set menus at reputable restaurants, giving us a real taste of Vietnamese cuisine. Our tour guides were knowledgeable, polite, and gave us plenty of time to explore and enjoy at our own pace. When our overnight Halong Bay cruise was unfortunately cut short due to bad weather, Best Price Travel quickly organised a private car to return us to our hotel without any delays. A refund was processed for the activities we missed was organised by our agent Moon. This was a hassle free experience, run by honest, professional people who really care about their clients. For our next holiday, we won’t look anywhere else, we’ll be booking again with Best Price Travel. Thank you, Vietnam, Best Price Travel, and especially the lovely Moon

by TrustpilotA great booking experience.
I got in touch with Best Price in early May 2025 to book a Mekong Cruise from 2 - 9 October 2025. From the start Janet was very helpful and understanding. She made the booking process easy and kept in touch regularly, even after my party had boarded the cruise and again after it was over to ensure everything went well. This is true customer service. I would recommend this company to everyone. Thank you again Janet!

6 Days Tour of Vietnam![icon circle]()
by Tripadvisor
by TripadvisorWe recently booked a 6-day Vietnam trip through BestPrice Travel, covering Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi and back. Initially, we were skeptical—six nights with airport transfers, domestic airfare, and hotel accommodations for under $600 seemed too good to be true. We honestly expected low-quality hotels and mediocre service. To our surprise, it turned out to be one of the best trips we've ever taken. The hotels were comfortable, and the tours exceeded our expectations. Everything was well-organized and seamless. Special thanks to Cindy Pham from BestPrice Travel, who was incredibly patient and helpful in coordinating every detail of our itinerary. From the moment we were picked up at the airport to the end of our journey, everything went smoothly. We highly recommend BestPrice Travel to anyone planning a trip to Vietnam. Their service and value are outstanding.

For the private day city tour highlights, since I will be scheduling a Monday tour which means the Mausoleum will be closed, is it possible to add the hao lo prison to the itinerary?

Yes you can change from Mausoleum to Hoa Lo prison, or add some extra if you want to go to extra place for city tour

Our trip organized by BestPrice Travel was convenient, but not without flaws. While they were responsive to our messages, the transfers and tour guides fell short of our expectations at times. Despite the minor hiccups, Vietnam's charm and hospitable locals made the experience worthwhile.
The hotel offered was excellent and offered very good service and accommodation. The food at the hotel and the recommended restaurant were also very good. Your service meets and exceeds our expectations.
Again, the tour guide exceeded expectations. He pays attention to details such as our diet and even give us some recommendations for dinner and massage tonight. The driver was also excellent, very safe and punctual. Lunch today was just average, the dishes were flavorful, but the meat was too tough. Nevertheless, we enjoyed the Vietnamese hospitality.
Very good service, thanks a lot.
Guide - Mr Tom is very funny.
I thought that the cruise and both tours in Hanoi were very good. Our tour guide, Tom, in Hanoi did a wonderful job. He was knowledgeable, yet sincere and approachable
