Good day!
My name is Hoang, or Jude.
I was born and raised in this city. I've been in the tourism industry for a few years and currently work as a tour guide.
This journey was made to teach you the narrative of Hanoi, beginning with a little town that constructed the Old Citadel and ending with Indochina’s first university. Then there's "Hanoi Hilton" - the hell on earth.
With a bit of an art tour, a bit of a culture tour, and a bit of a gloomy tour, I believe we can paint the vivid painting of Hanoi city, a century-old capital.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
We will meet at the water fountain next to Hoan Kiem (Sword) Lake. There is only 1 of it, you can't miss it

- Temple of Literature
The First University of Indochina
In the afternoon, we will visit the complex of Temple of Literature and The First University of Indochina.
Let’s learn the source of our wisdom, the core value of our ethic and behaviour.
There is no better way to understand Vietnamese than learning what we learnt.
We worship and believe in wisdom, in respect, and from that, we built a country.
- Hoả Lò Prison Maison Centrale

Maison Centrale (Hoả Lò Prison) - the first prison ever built in Hanoi city during the French Colonizations.
