Overview
This isn’t your typical city tour - it’s a walk through Hanoi’s memories.
The walk begins quietly—inside walls that once held revolutionaries, and later, captured airmen. From there, you’ll trace subtle shifts in time and tone: a lakeside temple older than the city itself, a modest stone relief near the water’s edge. Later, beside the wreckage of a fallen aircraft, stories emerge—not from books, but from those who lived them. Nothing is staged, yet everything carries meaning.
Though rooted in history, this experience isn’t only for history lovers. It’s for anyone curious about Hanoi’s layered soul—for those who wish to go beyond the surface, to feel the resilience and nuance behind the noise. This is not a lecture. It’s an experience with the city, through its people, its places, and its memories.
We end not with a conclusion, but a cup—Hanoi’s iconic egg coffee—served in a quiet corner where past and present gently meet.
Real stories. Real people. Real Hanoi. Real Vietnam.

Return details
-
Hoa Lo Prison1st stop: Let's Go to Jail, where revolution was born. Built by the French in 1890s, to imprison Vietnamese revolutionaries, this place was meant to crush the spirit of independence. But it became a school of resistance.
-
Chua Tran QuocTran Quoc - the oldest Buddhist pagoda in Hanoi, nearly 1500 years. During the war, while bombs fell around Hanoi, this pagoda stood still. It was a place where people came to pray, light incense, and quietly hope they'd survive another night.
-
John Sidney McCain MemorialJohn McCain memorial - when enemies became peacemakers. In 1967, US Navy pilot John McCain was shot down. His plane crashed into Truc Bach Lake - and he parachuted right into the water behind you.
-
B52 Victory MuseumWhat's better way to visit a museum with a veteran who served in Hanoi's air defense during 1972 bombings.
-
Huu Tiep Lake and the Downed B-52A B52 bomber, once feared in the skies, now lying quietly in a pond. A real wreckage, which was shot down during the Christmas bombings of 1972. You will meet one of very few survivors who lived this story - not through books, but through their bones.
-
Hanoi Old Quarter VietnamEnd our journey not in fear, but flavor - with Hanoi's most famous drink: egg coffee. Watch and learn how they invented and made it through hardship. As you sip, think of this: a city that survived fire and fear, now serving warmth and welcome. That's Hanoi. That's Vietnam.
