Hanoi: 1-Day Private City Tour with Scenic Cyclo Ride

Hanoi

Discover the rich history, culture, and peaceful charm of Vietnam’s capital on this private full-day city tour. Visit iconic landmarks, explore ancient temples, and learn about the life of Vietnam’s beloved figures as you immerse yourself in the stories and traditions that make Hanoi so unique. Your private guide will pick you up directly from your hotel to start this exciting journey through Hanoi. Your first stop is West Lake, Hanoi’s largest and most scenic lake. Here, you will visit Tran Quoc Pagoda, the oldest pagoda in the city, which dates back over 1,500 years. The pagoda is nestled on the lake’s edge, surrounded by lush trees, offering a serene atmosphere. You will have time to admire the unique architecture of the pagoda and the peaceful surroundings, a perfect place to relax and reflect. Next, head to the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, where the body of Uncle Ho (Ho Chi Minh) is preserved. Learn about the life of Vietnam’s first president and his deep connection with the people of Vietnam. You will also visit the Presidential Palace, a stunning example of French colonial architecture, and the Ho Chi Minh Stilt House, where Ho Chi Minh lived simply and humbly. This visit offers a deeper understanding of Ho Chi Minh’s life and legacy. If your tour falls on a Monday or Friday, when the Mausoleum is closed, visit Hoa Lo Prison, also known as Maison Centrale. This former prison was used during the French colonial period and the Vietnam War. It’s a symbol of resilience and the strong will of the prisoners who fought for their ideals. Explore the eerie, dark rooms that evoke the harsh conditions faced by prisoners. Next, visit the Temple of Literature (Van Mieu-Quoc Tu Giam), the first university in Vietnam. Established over 1,000 years ago, the temple was originally built to educate the country’s elite, including royalty and mandarins. The Temple is a tranquil place surrounded by giant trees and beautiful architecture, providing insight into Vietnam’s educational history. Your next stop is Ngoc Son Temple, located on Hoan Kiem Lake. This iconic temple is not only a significant spiritual site but also a symbol of Hanoi. The temple features unique architecture and offers scenic views of the lake. It’s a place where locals come to pray and reflect, adding to the city’s spiritual and cultural richness. No visit to Hanoi is complete without a ride on the traditional Cyclo (rickshaw). Take a relaxing ride through the bustling streets and narrow alleys of Hanoi’s Old Quarter. This is a chance to experience the daily life of the city up close. As you cycle, you will pass by vibrant markets, charming colonial buildings, and street vendors. Don’t miss out on trying egg coffee, a local delicacy, famous in Hanoi for its rich, creamy texture. Your tour will end with a return to your hotel, leaving you with a deeper appreciation of Hanoi’s history, culture, and unique charm.
