Private air-conditioned vehicle
Modern car or minivan with driver connecting the city's iconic monuments comfortably.

A thousand-year-old capital founded in 1010 on the banks of the Red River, Hanoi gracefully combines the majesty of Confucian sanctuaries, the poetry of its tranquil lakes, and the vibrant bustle of its ancient guild quarter.
This private day tour takes you on a journey through the ages, from the Temple of Literature to Tran Quoc Pagoda, passing through the solemn memorial complex of Ba Dinh and an immersive cyclo ride into the heart of the 36 guild streets.
Your French-speaking guide welcomes you in the morning at your hotel for an in-depth immersion into Hanoi, the thousand-year-old capital. The journey begins with a visit to Tran Quoc Pagoda, constructed in the 6th century on the peaceful shores of West Lake (Ho Tay), crowned by its red brick stupa and sacred Bodhi tree.
You then proceed to the historic Ba Dinh esplanade, where national independence was proclaimed in 1945. Here you discover the elegant colonial palace of the former Governor-General of French Indochina, the One Pillar Pagoda, and Ho Chi Minh's modest stilt house fronting a serene carp pond. Savor a flavorful lunch at a celebrated local restaurant to taste authentic Hanoi gastronomy.
The afternoon is dedicated to the Temple of Literature (Van Mieu), a masterpiece of traditional architecture dedicated to Confucius and Vietnam's first university, sheltering 82 stone stele turtles honoring imperial doctorates. Conclude with a one-hour cyclo ride winding through the ancient 36 guild streets of the Old Quarter (silk street, herbal medicine street, brass street...), followed by a walk down Ma May street to tour an authentic 19th-century traditional merchant "tube house".
Return to your hotel in Hanoi in the late afternoon.
Travel Log
Selected moments to experience the landscapes, encounters, and rhythm of this itinerary.

Originaire de Nam Dinh, berceau de traditions au cœur du delta du fleuve Rouge, j’ai grandi avec un amour viscéral pour le Vietnam : pour la poésie de ses paysages — des pitons karstiques du Nord aux méandres fertiles du Mékong —, mais surtout pour l’infinie bonté, le sourire et la résilience de son peuple.
Du souffle majestueux des pitons calcaires du Tonkin à la douceur nonchalante des arroyos du Mékong, le Vietnam est une terre de contrastes poétiques. Mon bonheur est de vous ouvrir les portes de nos adresses confidentielles et de dessiner pour vous un itinéraire fluide, vivant et profondément humain.
