Morning
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

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
we are enjoying it very much. Tony is a great guide. Thank you
