Things to do in Hanoi

very amazing place... all the staff are so nice and accomodating especially our tour guide Dong. We really enjoyed the entire trip especially the sunset party. Also, the cruise is new and clean. The foods were delicious and plenty. We will definitely choose Cozy Ha Long Bay Cruise when we go back to Hanoi.

Our guide, Paul/Duc was excellent. The cruise crew were very accommodating. Views during the whole sail were amazing. Overall experience was great. Minor recommendation: add a little more flavor to the food as some were bland.

The entire team worked flawlessly. Our guide Vincent was an absolute treasure, providing support and insightful facts, making us feel welcome and excited on our first trip to Halong Bay… we really had fun and enjoyed the tour. highly recommended 👌🏻

very organized and got picked up directly from our hotel. great communication from our tour guide the night before on time of pick up. he’s professional and friendly. bike trip was great and also the boat ride was wonderful. the sites didn’t disappoint. all and all and fascinating trip!

The experience was great! For the best view, I recommend sitting at the front of the bus on the left side for the lake view. Overall, I really had so much fun on this trip. I actually missed my 4:00 PM booking, but the staff were incredibly kind and allowed me to join the 5:30 PM ride, which, in my opinion, turned out even better.

A must visit if you are in Hanoi. A very unique and ancient puppet show originally from the rice farms of Vietnam from 11th century brought to life by the water puppet artists along with live music and signing by local artists. We opted for the VIP ticket and were seated at the first row for ab unrestricted view. We also got the translator which helped to understand the various stories in English. Otherwise the show is mostly in local language. My recommendation is to include this show in your itinerary and get the translator for better understanding. While klook is definitely expensive that the ticket prices if you book at the counter it avoids long queue and risk of not getting tickets at your preferred ticket. Klook has a dedicated counter, you can show the vouchers and the person would give you physical tickets.

I traveled to Hanoi this December and I visited the Lotte Aquarium World. It fulfilled some childhood dreams. If you have kids going to Vietnam or Hanoi, it is a must-visit to see the Aquarium World. They have a huge variety of fish that you cannot even see in manila Ocean Park. It is easier to redeem the voucher. All you have to do is show the QR code to the front desk, and then you are ready to go. They have a mermaid show, a magic show, and a sea lion show.

So glad I booked this. It was only $6 for a VIP ticket, I think, and I totally enjoyed it! The performance is also child-friendly. There is an English explanation projected on the screen so you won't really get confused about what is going on per act as the language of the performance is in Vietnamese. The theatre is located just across the lake and Apricot Hotel. It's walking distance to the Old Quarter Night Market so if you book the 6:30 p.m. show, you can just walk to the Night Market afterwards.
