  • Temple of Literature & National University - (Optional)
    Temple of Literature & National University is originally built as a university in 1070 dedicated to Confucius, scholars and sages, the building is extremely well preserved and is a superb example of traditional-style Vietnamese architecture. Visiting the Temple of Literature you will discover historic buildings from the Ly and Tran dynasties in a revered place that has seen thousands of doctors’ graduate in what has now become a memorial to education and literature.

Kate (Phung Thuyen) - Kate was very sweet and accommodating. She shared some interesting bits of information about Hanoi and certain places. We spent a long morning and some afternoon on a walking tour in the old quarter, saw the St. Joseph Cathedral and visited Maison Centrale and the History Museum and the Lake in Hoan Kiem district. Watched people jog and do physical stances and dance. Kaye recommend to get ice cream at Trang Tien, which I'm going to do a bit later. It was a good Saturday walk despite the beating sun.

Great tour with Gracie - Today I had the pleasure of experiencing a private city tour of Hanoi with Gracie, and it was fantastic. Gracie proved to be an excellent guide, sharing fascinating insights into Hanoi's history and Vietnamese culture. She customised the tour to our interests, making the experience engaging and personal. Some highlights were exploring the old quarter together, visiting the presidential palace and enjoying delicious ban xeo together, which added a wonderful local touch to the tour. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore Hanoi in depth!

Inspirational city tour - It was an emotional tour, with two lovely guys, Quinn and Zuin, showing us around the city and teaching us things we didn't know. I would also like to ask if you ever come to Hanoi.

Dive into local culture with a friendly guide - It was truly amazing experience, as the guide, Lindy Le, customized the tour according to our preferences and we had a chance not only to explore the city, but learn a lot about local culture, traditions, daily life of Vietnam people. We also tried traditional food like egg coffee and noodles. Lindy was very friendly and easygoing, we found it very comforting to spend time with her. Totally recommend you this experience if you want to explore Vietnam. And I must say her English was very good!!
