Things to do in Hanoi

Overall, it was a very fun and friendly tour. Our tour guide, Lily, was kind and very knowledgeable about history, explaining many things about the old capital. It was a great opportunity to learn a lot about Vietnamese history. Tam Coc was a bit hot because we had to be on a boat for over an hour in the scorching sun, but it was still very enjoyable. All the staff at Cozy Vietnam are friendly. Our tour guide, Lily, was so kind that she even sent a picture of herself and her location when she arrived for pickup. The tour members (on a 22-person bus) were also all nice and cooperative, which allowed us to complete every part of the itinerary without any delays. The driver also drove safely, so we had no worries and had a great trip. I highly recommend it! 👍 👍

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.

It was a very humid day, but we still had a great time. My favorite part of the trip was definitely Tràng An. I know some people didn’t really enjoy paddling the boat, but I personally found it relaxing, and the scenery was absolutely beautiful. The views were worth it! Our tour guide, Henry, also did a great job. He was friendly, organized, and explained the history behind each tourist spot, which made the tour much more interesting. Overall, I think this tour is worth booking, especially if it’s your first time visiting Ninh Bình. Everything was well organized, and we got to see a lot in one day. Would I do the exact same tour again? Probably not—but only because I think it’s one of those experiences that’s best enjoyed once. I’m really glad I got to experience it.

Excellent, just a very good experience on this one. Definitely would recommend going here. The mall itself is one of the biggest so far that we've been on in Vietnam and the aquarium is right inside it. They have huge fishes and plenty of other sealife, oh and they have penguins as well. Overall the price is not very cheap but then again it was quite an experience

It was a nice experience here. I enjoyed it a lot. Everything is arranged very well, particularly the The guide and the atmosphere were really good. I chose Indian food, which was truly delicious. Thank you.

We enjoyed the water puppet show for 50mins. We 've got to witness the good music and rich vietnam culture. It has english translation which is good and very easy to claim tickets. The location is also very easy to locate.

The whole show was entertaining and enlightening. It shows the unique talents of Vietnamese people in storytelling, music, and theater. It also highlighted how genious people are in creating art based on their surroundings. Our seats for the VIP section was right in the middle on the second row, so we had a great view of the whole stage.

Nice aquarium for friends and family, not too big but not too small either. Great for spending time indoors, while it’s scorching hot outside. A wide variety of sea animals from: fish, turtles, penguins, sharks, eels and rays.

This is where Lotte Hotel and Lotte Mart are located, offering views of Hanoi from the observation deck. You enter Lotte Mart on the first basement level. I had pre-purchased tickets through Klook that included a drink, and you just exchange them at the on-site ticket counter before entering. The weather was very hot, and rain was forecast, so we went to the observation deck looking for a cool place. There were hardly any people, so we had a very pleasant visit. Since we were practically the only visitors on the observation deck, we were able to take many photos and fully enjoy the surroundings while sipping our drinks. The VR experience takes up about half of the observation deck, so other attractions like the souvenir shop might feel a bit limited. The binoculars are free, allowing you to get a detailed view of nearby tourist spots.
