Itinerary
Guide and Jeep will meet you at hotel, then you will head to Hoa Lo museum (called as Hanoi Hilton by American pilots during Vietnam war). Hoa Lo Prison was built by the French and used during the Indochina War to house Vietnamese patriots, and later during the Vietnam War it held American pilots who were shot down. The small part of the complex still remaining is now a museum with displays will tell you a part of Vietnam’s history. The next visit is Vietnam Military History Museum. At this museum, you will find the expected displays inside the building on the long history of Vietnam's military. Outside the building is an impressive collection of the military refuse of Vietnam's former foes, some from the French but mostly from the Americans. Most striking is a kind of memorial assembled from pieces of shot-down bombers.

We had an amazing tour! Myself, husband and 18 year old son took this tour to discover more about the history of Vietnam. The jeeps were very clean and comfortable and the drivers were excellent. We were picked up promptly from our hotel and givens good advice to bring hat, comfortable shoes and sun cream. We were given bottles of water during the tour and enjoyed a drop off at a cafe for refreshing drinks. Our tour guide Pi, was wonderful. She was able to give us so much information and answer all our questions. This was a really memorable tour and we would highly recommend.
I totally recommend joining this. How often do you get to ride a Russian military jeep around town? Riding in it is itself an awesome experience!! Our guide, Mary, English speaking guide and our driver Uncle Lewis were fantastic! Taking us around the backstreet giving us a sightseeing and information on the way to the Temple of Literature, first stop, and then to the Mausoleum which was closed unfortunately being a Friday. Mary also took us to a residential area with street markets. We got to taste some exotic fruits and of course bought some too. Then my Highlight was the Trainline through the residential and cafes. We were take upstairs to have the best view and were treated some beverages while waiting for the train to pass. It was exhilarating! Next we went to Hidden Gem, name speaks for itself, Hidden. An awesome Cafe you must visit. So beautifully decorated with smart recycling of old bikes, tyres, bottles and mural on the wall. Tasted my first egg coffee which is delicious! Mary is funny, cheeky and makes the tour so much more enjoyable. Totally must do! #hanoibackstreettour
This is a fantastic introduction to Hanoi. Dory is a great guide with lots of local stories and history she provided a great insight into Vietnanese culture. We saw sites we wouldn't have found on our own and sampled delicious local specialties in hidden local places. A must for any first time visitor. Did I mention the surprisingly yummy egg coffee! Thanks Dory you exceeded our expectations.
