Tran Quoc Pagoda Reviews

Honestly such a solid afternoon. Tran Quoc Pagoda was super peaceful and the temple of literature is a must-see for the architecture alone. Hoa Lo prison was pretty intense but really eye-opening... definitely glad we had a guide to explain everything. perfect way to spend a few hours if u want to see the main spots without walking everywhere yourself. totally worth 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.

This package tour was an amazing experience! Our tour guide, Harley, was incredibly approachable and knowledgeable about every place we visited. He struck the perfect balance between sharing insightful information and keeping us entertained with great jokes. Harley also made sure no one felt left out during the entire trip. To top it off, he has a great eye for photography and captures fantastic group photos! touring with them was a truly wonderful experience.

I had a good experience. I was able to see the significant landmarks of Hanoi. I had a wrong timing because it was too hot that time. I suggest that you take the bus around 5:00 PM onwards and see the landmarks with the lights on.

Our Tour Guide was Travis and our Driver was Mr Ming. Travis did an awesome job of keeping the whole trip entertaining by giving us a good and in-depth explanation of the history of each famous destination of Vietnam with great English! Mr Ming was able to being us to each destination quickly and effeciently with safety. Even with the jeep being manual drive, the ride was pretty smooth. Both also took the care and time to ensure everyone was safe. We were even given free ponchos to protect us from the rain. Overall, both of the did a great job to make our experience the best even with the rain.

I had a wonderful time with Trang, our tour guide. This tour was very worth it given the experiences you get — it is food, culture, scenery all-in-one. I was not able to capture all the scenes but it felt like we were able to see all of Hanoi. Being on a jeep made it more fun. Trang is very helpful and took lovely photos. I highly recommend this tour :)

It was the final day of my solo trip. I suddenly booked this tour two days in advance because I wanted to learn more about Vietnam and have someone who speaks Japanese guide me around. Since it was a female guide, Ngoc took care of me one-on-one. Even though I didn't have much of a plan, she made great suggestions, and we were able to visit various museums and shops. (We got around using Grab, so it's a good idea to have the app installed!) At the very end, I made a selfish request to go to a massage parlor. It seemed to be a place she frequented, so I was able to get a slight discount. Traveling alone, it's hard to take pictures of yourself, but she took photos of me at all the key spots. Ngoc was charming and kept smiling until the very end, making my last day extremely fulfilling and soothing. Thank you so much!!
