Hanoi

Our guide will pick you up at your hotel at around 8:15am with an a/c car to take part in the Hanoi City Tour.

Firstly visit Ho Chi Minh’s mausoleum, his house on stilts, the botanical gardens and the Presidential Palace while learning about his life and revolutionary activities. The Presidential Palace used to be the residence of the Governor of Indochina. On the way out visit the One Pillar pagoda. The pagoda was constructed in 1049 by King Ly Thai Tong according to his dream of Bodhisattva seating on a lotus flower and led him to the pagoda. In 1954, the pagoda was destroyed by the French before their withdrawal. After taking over the city on October 10th 1954, the Vietnam Ministry of Culture restored the pagoda. The pagoda of today remains since this restoration.

Around 10.30 Arrive at the Temple of Literature. This is a Temple dedicated to Confucius which was built in 1070 and the first Royal National University of Vietnam and built 6 years later in 1076. Considered as “an escape” from the bustling city, this temple and its beautiful garden provide an opportunity to learn more about education in Vietnam for over 1000 years.

12.00pm Enjoy lunch in a local restaurant with local Vietnamese Traditional Cuisines

1pm Continue on to visit the interesting Ethnology Museum. Located west of the city center, this museum offer informative and well-documented displays of the country’s 54 ethnic groups, and includes elaborate and colorful hill-tribe costumes, weaving designs, musical instruments, fishing implements, work tools and other functional objects. The display continues on to the garden outside with fascinating examples of minority housing from the King’s to the ones of the ethnic groups in Central Highlands.

3.30pm Visit Hoan Kiem lake (Restored Sword lake) and the Ngoc Son temple. Situated in the heart of Hanoi, the lake got its name according to a legend. In the 15th century during the Ming Chinese invasion, General Le Loi was presented with a Holy Sword. With the help of this sword he expelled the Chinese from Thang Long, present-day Hanoi, and proclaimed himself as King Le Thai To. One day, when the king was sailing on the lake, suddenly a golden turtle emerged from the water and claimed back the sword which had been believed given to him by God. Since then, the lake has been known as Ho Hoan Kiem or the Lake of the Restored Sword.

Nice service

Tracy Pham handled my booking and was very professional throughout. It was quick and fuss-free, and she arranged a very spacious van to pick us up. Ride was comfortable, driver was great as well, recommend using their service if you're heading to Hanoi!

Very happy reliable service, easy to deal with Anna

I conversed with Anna via email to set up the transportation from a hotel in Halong Bay to Bai Dinh garden resort. She was responsive and stayed in touch the whole time. She provided driver name, car plate, and estimated time the day before pick up. The driver came on time and the car was clean and the usual.

enquiry about round trip fee

How much does it cost from hanoi to Thang Long Hotel(Ha long bay) ?

how about return trips?
