Excursii 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.

Am participat la un tur de jumătate de zi. A fost obositor, dar distractiv în același timp. O experiență nouă, învățând despre cultura și credințele lor. Ghidul nostru, domnul Kevin, ne-a trimis un mesaj cu o zi înainte de tur pentru a ne reaminti ora și locul de preluare. Turul a decurs fără probleme, iar microbuzul a fost super confortabil. Adormeam de fiecare dată când urcam în vehicul. Am cerut să fim lăsați la un restaurant în loc de hotelul nostru.

Mama mea a participat la turul Muzeului Femeilor și al Închisorii Hoa Lo alături de ghidul nostru Darcy și a avut o experiență foarte plăcută. Prietenos, plin de viață și foarte abordabil, Darcy a creat o atmosferă relaxată și plăcută pe tot parcursul turului. Contextul istoric împărtășit a ajutat la aducerea la viață a multor exponate și povești. Mama mea a apreciat în mod special cât de deschis a fost ghidul în a împărtăși informații și a răspunde la întrebări pe parcurs. În general, a fost o experiență captivantă și informativă, iar mama mea a plecat cu o apreciere mai profundă a siturilor și a istoriei lor. Abordarea caldă și primitoare a făcut turul deosebit de plăcut.

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

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