Guide, Private car
Upon arrival at Noi Bai airport, our private Vietnam Tour guide and driver will welcome your Vietnam Holiday, pick up and transfer to the hotel for check in
Hanoi, a city where the exotic chic of old Asia blends with the dynamic face of new Asia. Where the medieval and modern co-exist. A city with a blend of Parisian grace and Asian pace, an architectural museum piece evolving in harmony with its history, rather than bulldozing through like many of the region’s capitals.

Then take a short walk to the Presidential Palace & House on Stilt. Near from Ho Chi Minh complex, One Pillar Pagoda – symbol of Vietnam with unique architecture of lotus flower is a must-see destination for all Vietnam tours. Our next stop will be the Temple of Literature which is the first university in Vietnam. It was constructed in 1070, first to honor Confucius and nowadays to celebrate the doctorates and high rank scholars of Vietnam.
After lunch time, we continue our Hanoi city tour to amazing trip to Train Street where we can take fantastic pictures of incoming train. Hidden amidst the hectic, narrow streets of the Hanoi Old.
Quarter lies a funky little area, where motorbikes are no longer the biggest danger to locals stepping outside of their front door. They’re replaced by high speed trains, hurling through the residential street, mere feet away from peoples everyday lives – their dishes and laundry drying by the tracks. Enjoy a cup of coffee at Train Track Coffee Shop.
Then, have a cyclo ride around the Old Quarter to see the local life and end the day with a fantastic water puppet show at Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre.
