Things to do in Hanoi

It was a great experience. The overall itinerary was good, and I really enjoyed the trip, even though it was raining and cloudy. The only thing I didn't like was the bus stop while going to Ha Long Bay, where we had to spend 30 minutes or more at the bamboo silk shop. It was inconvenient that we had to attend the session. I wanted to just rest on the bus, but it was not allowed, so we had to go through all their products and everything, which made it seem like we were forced to buy something.

We(me & my wife) have a very wonderful and superb experience. And special thanks to our very experienced Tour Guide, Toom. Without him, this Halong Bay journey would never be this eventful and beautiful journey. We would love to travel again and again!

Our Halong Bay tour was amazing, with stunning views of limestone cliffs and emerald waters. Sung Sot Cave was breathtaking with its magical rock formations, and Ti Top Island offered a rewarding climb to a panoramic view. The boat, food, and friendly staff made the whole experience smooth and unforgettable. Plus Tour leader “Lee” made our day amazing!!! Fully recommended!

The Ninh Binh tour was absolutely worth it. The scenery was breathtaking—limestone mountains, and peaceful rivers that felt like something out of a postcard. The boat ride through the caves was relaxing! Everything was well organized from hotel pickup to drop-off. Our guide, Pikachu, was very knowledgeable, friendly, and explained the history and places clearly,. Lunch was good with enough options, and the itinerary covered the best spots. It’s a long day, but totally worth it if you’re visiting Hanoi and want to see Vietnam’s natural beauty. Highly recommended!

Alex was so knowledgeable and he explained the history and the beauty of the place very crystal clearly. HI’s English is very good and he was very professional and very understanding. I’d recommend this to all first time travelers to Vietnam. The driver was very professional and polite and down to earth. and the experience was very amusing and incredible given the beauty of the locations!!!! Alex and the driver very 100/10 and I and my mother had an amazing and unforgettable experience😍❤️ I’m gonna come back again and choose the same. Thank you so much for such an incredible experience and Alex - I’d your reading this- Amazing job!!!

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.

it was a really good show and we were very impressed with the skill and the smoothness of how the puppeteers controlled their puppets. it was also very entertaining as we peeked into the lives of the Vietnamese through their folklore and also teasing of one another in the play. A must watch in Vietnam.

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.
