Какво да правите в Temple of Literature

To wrap up our Sapa trip with my nieces and nephews living in Hanoi, Vietnam, we took a one-day city tour bus around Hanoi. I was a bit worried because it had been raining since morning, but we decided to go out and wait it out over lunch. The weather cleared up, so we immediately booked tickets, exchanged them at the booth, and boarded the bus, which was incredibly convenient. The city tour was enjoyable and informative, with audio commentary available in various languages via headphones at each famous spot, and the estimated one-hour duration flew by. I was very satisfied with the open-air view from the second floor and the air conditioning, which made it comfortable even in the hot midday sun.

I want to start with Oscar, our private tour guide. He was well prepared and answered every one of our questions. His expertise and the passion with which he told us the story of the Temple of Literature were amazing. Even in the heavy rain, Oscar did a great job and kept our spirits up with friendly small talk. After the tour, we stayed and chatted about Greece, about Romania, and about our plans for the rest of the day. He even pointed us towards the Museum of Fine Arts, which was a great tip. Oscar is new to guiding, but you would never guess it. Highly recommended, ask for him if you can!

Задължително за резервиране! Екскурзоводът Кевин беше много знаещ и обясни всичко в детайли. Отлично качество за цената. Определено препоръчвам. Бяхме само 3 души на обиколката, така че беше по-лично. Кевин направи наистина добри снимки и ни преведе през всяка стъпка от това как всичко беше направено. Имахме възможност да се включим практически и да получим продукти, както и да персонализираме шапка. Направих 1/2 обиколка и си заслужаваше. Резервирайте и поискайте Кевин за ваш гид.

private tour with Paul … he very good in explaining the story from beginning to the end!

Прекрасно и смислено пътуване. Закъсняхме, но г-жа Хейди и г-н шофьорът все пак успяха да наваксат програмата с нас. Поздравления за Хейди и г-н шофьора, че ни помогнаха и направиха красиви, незабравими снимки. Топло гостоприемство. Силно препоръчвам.👍👍

I apologize for the lack of communication; my phone was stolen. Thank you for still coming to the hotel on time despite the situation. It was incredibly helpful that you assisted me with the process of issuing my return flight ticket, even though it was unrelated to the tour. Although I participated alone this time, I was very satisfied as I was able to visit the places I wanted to see and do some shopping. Since I didn't have my phone, I couldn't take any pictures, but the guide took many for me. I would be delighted if you could send them to me, as I haven't been able to contact you since. Thank you so much for everything.

We traveled by Grab for our private tour for two. Our guide spoke excellent Japanese and showed us places we wouldn't have seen on our own, with an efficient route and clear explanations, which was wonderful. I definitely recommend this over going by yourself. They also changed the pho to bun cha for us, and the restaurant was delicious. Since we were staying at a hotel near Hanoi Cathedral, we skipped the cathedral tour and were dropped off at our desired location before parting ways. We were very satisfied with our quick half-day tour in the heat.

Pietro was such an amazing tour guide. From the moment we arrived on the bus he was full of energy and very charismatic. He made sure to give us a thorough understanding of each place we visited so we knew the history and importance of the place. We got lucky with a small tour since this is off season for tourists, and this was actually really nice because we got to ask all the questions we wanted. He took really great photos of us and took us to a really nice spot for lunch, explaining all of the foods we tried beforehand. We will probably go back to that restaurant a few times before I leave! Thank you Pietro! Don’t hesitate to book this tour, you won’t regret it.

It was a great tour overall! We covered a lot of ground but it also did not feel rushed. Our tour guide Hue (Lily) was great! She was super knowledgeable about many historical things and tidbits on Hanoi and you can feel her enthusiasm in wanting to share it. Worth a try if you have a day to spend going on a tour :)
