Overview

Step back in time as you explore the historic French Quarter of Hanoi, where colonial charm meets the resilient spirit of the Vietnamese people. Wander through iconic landmarks like the Government Guesthouse, the grand Hanoi Opera House, and the haunting Hoa Lo Prison, each telling a powerful story - from French colonization to the fierce struggle for independence.

Stroll through what many call a "mini Paris" in the heart of Hanoi, where elegant European architecture lines the streets.

Dive deeper into French influence in Vietnam through stunning examples of Indochinese architecture, a rare fusion of East and West found only in Southeast Asia.

But the journey doesn't stop there, our tour also takes you through the gripping history of Vietnam’s resistance against the United States, famously known as the Vietnam War. From colonial shadows to modern-day triumphs, we can’t wait to share with you the incredible stories that shaped Vietnam’s identity.
