This fun-packed half day includes culture, adventure and some of the local highlights of Hanoi. You will visit different locations to get a sense of the old and the new in this fast-paced city. The journey begins in peaceful West Lake where you are taken safely down back roads and tracks to ‘banana island’ an oasis just outside Hanoi’s old quarter. The tour then winds its way through the busy streets stopping at city center points of interest; O Quan Chuong gate, St. Joseph’s Cathedral, the railway village and Ho Chi Minh’s mausoleum.
