Full description

This is a 3.5-hour experience in Hanoi. It is run by Vietnamtravelers, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

The price covers Tour guide, All entry tickets, Coffee or drink and Transportation by taxi or car. It does not cover Tip, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Vietnamtravelers sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Vietnamtravelers before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Excellent. We learnt so much about the history of Vietnam. Minh, our guide was extremely informative and we were able to ask lots of questions and have discussion. Everything went really smoothly and any person interested in learning a bit about Vietnams past and its key figure Ho Chi Minh would enjoy this tour. Thanks Minh for an enjoyable and educative morning.

I highly recommend joining this tour if you want to learn a lot about the history. Exploring the museum on your own is very different from having a knowledgeable guide who provides detailed explanations and brings the exhibits to life. Thank you Minh!

Our group had a great time with Minh as our guide! We booked last minute private tour at around 8pm for 8am the next day and Minh reached out to us through WhatsApp to confirm meet point. Minh was very informative and friendly. Through Hoa Lo Prison and the Ho Chi Minh Museum he was stopping and giving us a detailed history of the sites and cultural significance to the country. Minh spoke English very well and the chat we had while drinking coffee at the B52 crash site was so fun. Thank you for the experience Minh! If you are interested in learning about Vietnam, book this tour and be sure to

Had a great tour with Minh! He is very knowledgeable and the best English speaker we encountered in Vietnam. He answered all our questions, and gave a nuanced explanation for everything. I would recommend first timers in Hanoi to do this tour, but perhaps do another one that is more general about the history of Vietnam first - we jumped quite quickly into the material and some in my group would have preferred a more general intro to the war etc. Thank you Minh!

Mark was a great tour guide, he knew a lot about the history behind the Vietnam war and explained everything very clear and simple. The B25 coffee stop was also great too.

it was an amazing and informative day with Mark. He was an excellent guide, showed us and shared a lot with us, not only about the Prison but local cuisine and culture. I would recommend him to anyone who is in Hanoi.
