6.Hanoi City Tour: Bat Trang, Train Street, Lunch & Luxury Bus

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 15 reviews · from $33

This full-day Hanoi tour combines Hoa Lo Prison, Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, Ba Dinh Square, Train Street, Temple of Literature, and Bat Trang Pottery Village. You travel by air-conditioned limousine bus, eat Bun Cha or banh mi near the railway, and make one ceramic sample. Guides such as T, Minh, and Ming have led recent departures.

“A fabulous experience with fascinating insights and enlightening conversations with T, our guide. We could adjust the tour very flexibly to our wishes, and saw several of the big sights and many secrets paths through the maze of Hanoi’s back alleys. We have seen the spectacular bridge, got some creative photos, learned about the alluvial farm land, a green oasis in the city, wondered about the story of the fisher at the lake, learned about mystical animals and so much more. Is riding a bike through Hanoi safe? If you come from a very rule-centric country like Germany, you will experience a slight culture shock - but we felt safe.…”
