Things to do in Hoa Lo Prison Museum

A must book! Tour guide Kevin was very knowledgeable and explained everything in detail. Great quality for price. Definitely recommend. it was only 3 people on tour so it was more personal. Kevin took really good pictures and took us through each step of how everything was done. We got to do hands on experience and got to get products and able to customize hat. I did the 1/2 tour and it was worth it. Book and request Kevin as your guide.

We had an excellent time on this tour, and our guide Darcy was excellent, she spoke perfect English and was very informative, it was fascinating learning all about Vietnams history which has been turbulent to put it mildly, but tge resilience of its people is second to none, if you are interested in history this is a must do and I would recommend it to anyone.

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.

Mr. Son is a very good tour guide. He not only guided us to each place but also provided brief knowledge about every place we visited. I think Mr. Son put great effort into the trip, and I believe he should be compensated more than what he currently earns!

This motorbike tour was absolutely fantastic. Our guide, Suki, was cheerful and shared so much information with us. I highly recommend joining this tour if you come to Hanoi.

I can’t say enough good things about our guide Conor. He was at our hotel early to meet us and wait for the van. He was very friendly and asked about the rest of our stay in Hanoi, offering suggestions for the times we haven’t planned yet. During the Museum tour he was very knowledgeable throughout, was always able to offer interesting stories or bits of information, and avoided some of the redundant parts while putting more focus on significant events and displays. After giving us the history in each area he provided us time to view the pictures and artifacts on our own which lended more impact to the displays. He answered all of our questions very well, even those not directly related to the museums contents and he gave bits of additional information that made us want to research and keep learning about the subjects even after. highly recommend this tour, our guide, and the museum in general. Try to avoid days with school groups and if you do it in the afternoon definitely go into the museum first to avoid the hot sun during the outdoor displays.

We had a fun and informative tour with our amazing and very engaging tour guide Joey. He's very knowledgeable about the history of each places we've visited. Highly recommend him as a guide!

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 :)
