Hanoi City Tour with Ethnology Museum - Hi! I had a fantastic time on the tour. Our guide, Tuan, is extremely knowledgeable about the history of all the destinations in our itinerary. Although there were moments when we couldn't quite catch what he was saying, he was always willing to repeat it for us. He made sure to answer all our questions and kept the atmosphere lively, especially when he noticed we were getting tired. He even took us to a lovely place for lunch. The highlight of the itinerary for me was the Hoa Lo Prison Museum. The bus ride was comfortable as we explored various places, and we felt safe thanks to the driver's expertise in navigating us to our destinations.

Exploring Hanoi's Heritage: A Memorable City Tour with SS Travel - I had a wonderful experience on the city tour in Hanoi with SS Travel. We started with a visit to a serene pagoda by the lake, where the atmosphere was both peaceful and reflective. Our guide provided fascinating insights into the pagoda's history and significance, setting the stage for a meaningful day ahead. Next, we visited the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, a place with deep historical importance. The guide skillfully explained Ho Chi Minh's role in Vietnamese history, making the stories come alive with her vivid descriptions. At the Temple of Confucius, we learned about Vietnam’s ancient educational system, and then explored the country's first university, where we saw the symbolic stone turtles – emblems of knowledge and longevity. The guide gave detailed explanations about each turtle and what it represented, showing impressive knowledge and a passion for Vietnamese culture. Finally, we toured the old prison, a sobering place filled with stories of resilience and hardship. The guide was sensitive in her storytelling, helping us understand this part of Vietnam's history without overshadowing the brighter aspects of the tour. Throughout the day, she was warm, professional, and very well-informed, making this city tour an unforgettable experience.

Great tour to tick off the main attractions - Great tour, well organised and didn't feel too rushed. We got most of the main attractions covered with one tour. Good value for money.

Great history and ethnology tour - This was a very good and informative history trip. There is actually a lot more walking than we originally thought, so if walking is an issue for you, please keep that in mind. The tour guide was a fountain of knowledge and I have come to appreciate Viet Nam and the culture that it has to offer. Even learning about the many different ethnic groups in Viet Nam was great! Lunch was included which was delicious and we were able to choose between vegetarian and meat dishes.
