About the Tour

Detailed Itinerary

  • After the pick up at your hotel lobby at 8 am, you will visit Ho Chi Minh mausoleum complex – the final resting place of the national hero Uncle Ho, and President Ho Chi Minh’s stilt house where he lived and worked from 1958 to 1969. 
  • Next, visit the most iconic temple in Vietnam, One Pillar Pagoda, of which the structure and grounds surrounding come with an intriguing story. 
  • Stop at a thought-provoking site, Hoa Lo prison, ironically called “Hanoi Hilton” by US prisoners during American War. This notorious prison housed a century of torture within its silent walls. Opened in 1886, most of its prisons at that time were political agitators. This historic prison is currently preserved as a museum.
