You'll be surprised how much of Vietnam's former capital you can see in one day – all it takes is the right planning. On this 7 hour tour of the city you will get to discover Hanoi's true character through its natural landscapes, museums, places of worship and more. Right after a convenient pick up from your hotel, you will visit the Ho Chi Minh Complex – a traffic-free area of monuments, memorials and botanical gardens, accompanied by an informative explanation from your guide. Go on to see the One Pillar Pagoda and Tran Quoc Pagoda before stopping by the Temple of Literature, Vietnam's first national university. After a relaxing lunch, there will still be time left for a trip to Hoan Kiem Lake, Bat Trang ceramic village and more. At the end of the tour, there's the option of a water puppet show, traditional cyclo tour, or avoiding the traffic mayhem to be delivered seamlessly back to your hotel.
