Join us on this 7-hour tour as we take you through the magical Hanoi, a place as famous for its history and heritage as for its food culture. The chaos and the traffic of the city might seem daunting at first, but we will ensure that you get the perfect introduction to the metropolis during this trip and visit all the major landmarks of Hanoi.
Meet your local, English-speaking guide at 8:30 in the morning and transfer to the Ho Chi Minh Complex. Named after the founder of modern Vietnam, the complex houses Ho Chi Minh's mausoleum, his home as well as President's Palace. Next, explore the Ho Chi Minh Museum and travel to the unique One Pillar Pagoda.
Take a walk around the Tran Quoc Pagoda and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and charming beauty of one of the oldest pagodas in Hanoi. Enjoy Vietnamese cuisine for lunch at a local restaurant. Head for Van Mieu – Quoc Tu Giam (Temple of Literature), the first imperial university in Vietnam which was built in 1070 AD.
Leave the Temple of Literature at 2:30 in the afternoon and enjoy a 1-hour rickshaw ride through Hanoi's old quarters, including those located around Hang Bac, Hang Tre and Ma May streets. Travel past Hoan Kiem Lake and the Hanoi Opera House and stop at the St Joseph’s Cathedral.
Attend a 45-minutes water puppet show at the Thang Long Puppetry Theater at 4:00 pm. We will transfer you back to your hotel in Hanoi after the show is over.
Don't miss this chance to explore Hanoi during a leisurely cyclo ride. Hop onto the rickshaw early in the morning and travel to Hoan Kiem Lake, the first destination of you trip, which is located in the historical center of the city. Your next destination is Hanoi's West Lake, the biggest lake in the capital and a popular destination in the city among expats.
Stop to see the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and the Presidential Palace of Vietnam. Take pictures and cycle around the lake before heading for the Tran Quoc Pagoda, after which you travel to the Temple of Literature, the first college in Vietnam and a place dedicated to Confucius. Get the chance to enjoy a delicious bowl of the famous Vietnamese pho noodles for breakfast.
Next, you can choose between the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology, home to the artefacts representing Vietnam's numerous ethnic groups, and Hoa Lo Prison, which was once used by the French to hold political prisoners. Both these places will provide you with the chance to learn more about Vietnamese culture and history.
You also have the option of watching a 45-minute water puppet show or enjoying the fascinating lonah circus (own expense). You will be taken back to your hotel at around 12:00 pm, when the trip comes to an end.
This trip was everything we had ever dreamed of and more. The great planning ensured that every detail was taken care of, leaving us free to fully embrace the experience. Most tours were private for my family. Minah and her team did a great job and highly recommend them!

I can’t imagine navigating Vietnam without Diem. The trip was incredibly organized.. starting with Diem meeting us at the airport, to the lovely hotels, flights, transportation reservations, etc. We also appreciated the tips on local cuisine shopping and sightseeing. I highly recommend the upgrade if you can afford it. We hope more upgraded Explorer trips become available.
