Hanoi Things to Do - Combined!

Published on Nov, 2023

This is a great your that includes most of the prominent places in Hanoi. We chose this tour since it had most of thre areas we wanted to see in a full/half day tour. Timing is also good for the morning. Tran quoc pagoda, 1 pillar, Ho chi minh Mausoleum, an art gallery, Museum of Etymology, House of Literature and the Hoa Lo prison! Son is a great guide and keeps everyone engaged!
