Passeios por Hoa Lo Prison Museum

Today was an outstanding day thanks to my lovely guide, Tamm. I tried some nice Vietnamese coffee, got to witness the epic Hanoi Train street, while sipping a mango smoothie. Then, we ventured to Hoa Lo prison and this place is a must because, you can see the fascinating history that Vietnam possesses. It’s here that you get to appreciate Vietnam even more. This experience was memorable thanks to the knowledge and passion of Tamm. I highly recommend everyone to engage in this tour, when your in Hanoi.

The Hanoi city tour was great, especially with our guide, Hue. Hue is very knowledgeable about Hanoi City and Vietnamese culture, and gave us a great tour. Her command over English is good. She is a great person, and I would like to have her as a guide again. The lunch had a set menu and the portion sizes were too little. It also didn’t include any beverage. This is one thing that could have been improved.

We joined a half-day tour. It was tiring but fun at the same time. It was a new experience learning about their culture and beliefs. Our tour guide, Mr. Kevin, texted us a day before the tour with a gentle reminder about the pick-up time and place. The tour was smooth, and the van was super comfortable. I fell asleep every time we got in the vehicle. We requested to be dropped off at a restaurant instead of our hotel.

My mother joined the Women’s Museum and Hoa Lo Prison tour with our guide Darcy and had a very pleasant experience. Friendly, bubbly, and very approachable, Darcy created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere throughout the tour. The historical context shared helped bring many of the exhibits and stories to life. My mother especially appreciated how open the guide was in sharing insights and answering questions along the way. Overall, it was an engaging and informative experience, and my mother came away with a deeper appreciation of the sites and their history. The warm and welcoming approach made the tour particularly enjoyable.

The driver is nice and intime. We had a funny and memorable day. High recommend 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Visiting the Military Museum and the prison in Hanoi was a really meaningful experience, especially as a first-time visitor to Vietnam. It was great to learn more about the country’s history and gain context for the places we’ve been seeing around the city. Darcy was incredibly patient with all of our questions and was clearly very knowledgeable about Vietnam’s history, which made the tour even more engaging. One thing to note is that weekend visits can get quite crowded due to students, and a half-day tour can feel a little rushed if you want to explore everything in detail. It might be helpful if there were options for both half-day and full-day tours for visitors who want to dive deeper into the history.

Our tour guide Michael is very passionate and took great efforts to explain the history, facts, and culture of Vietnam in an engaging way and with a good sense of humor. He also demonstrated the warmth and hospitality of the Vietnamese people. In addition, he is proactive in welcoming any queries we have and goes the extra mile in accommodating our requests. We truly appreciated his dedication and enthusiasm. The visits to the Ethnology Museum, Hoa Lo Prison, and Ho Chi Minh are eye-openers for my family. The tour is really insightful and has deepened my understanding of this country. Highly recommended.

This 1-day city tour itinerary was just perfect to experience the most desired attractions in Hanoi. Our tour guide, Mr. Luca, was very informative and managed the entire tour with good timing. The Incense Village, Train Street coffee shops along the running train passing by, and the Prison Museum were among the unique experiences to remember.
