Our car and tour guide will pick you up at your hotel for a full-day Hanoi City Tour. Begin with a visit to the Ho Chi Minh Complex, including Ho Chi Minh’s Mausoleum, his stilt house, the botanical garden, and the Presidential Palace. Originally the residence of the Governor of Indochina, the palace was renamed the Presidential Palace after 1954 and served as the place where President Ho Chi Minh lived and worked until his passing in 1969. Learn about his life and revolutionary career during this meaningful visit.
On the way out, stop at the iconic One Pillar Pagoda. Built in 1049 by King Ly Thai Tong following a dream of a Bodhisattva seated on a lotus flower, the pagoda symbolizes purity and enlightenment.
