Half-Day Morning Tour of the Highlights in Hanoi with Lunch

Greet your guide in central Hanoi and ride an air-conditioned minivan into the bustling streets. En route, listen as your guide talks about Hanoi’s history and Ho Chi Minh, the communist leader who was Vietnam’s president from 1945 to 1969.

Visit the Temple of Literature, founded in 1070 and once the site of a university. Then, continue to a teahouse to sample green teas with snacks, such as green bean cakes, and learn about tea’s role in Vietnamese culture.

Explore Hoa Lo Prison, dubbed the “Hanoi Hilton” by US pilots in the Vietnam War. Hear how prisoners were confined here and tour the cells and exhibitions to learn about their fates.

View 19th-century St. Joseph’s Cathedral, and stroll around Hoan Kiem Lake to see the Huc Bridge and Ngoc Son Temple. Finally, enjoy a local lunch before leaving to continue exploring independently.
