Celebrate 1000 Years of Hanoi History - 4 Days / 3 Nights
Hanoi
Dating back to 1010, Hanoi is a city rich in history and traditions. In honor of its 1000 year anniversary, Exotissimo has crafted a special Vietnam tour spotlighting various aspects of the capital. Travelers with a love of history or simply intrigued by the capital will enjoy the unique insider's perspective provided by this expert-led tour.
Travel back in time, starting with a tour focused on the French Indochina era. Dating back to 1887, the French had a strong impact on the architecture and cultural growth as is evidenced by the Long Bien Bridge and Opera House. Walking among these buildings and hearing the colorful stories, you will be whisked back to another era.
Next, you will take a walking tour to the city's iconic sites and historic buildings. Alongside busy streets alongside neon-lit buildings, the contrast of old and new is even more apparent. You'll visit the storied Van Mieu which was built in 1070 and is a stoic reminder of days of yore. A stroll through the old quarter and around Hoan Kiem Lake reveals more about the rich cultures, traditional styles and intriguing legends of Hanoi.
The next day of your Vietnam tour focuses on the city's recent history and future. Exploring places such as Hoa Lu prison with your guide, you'll gain insight on Hanoi's famed August Revolution while visits to the 'new' city neighborhoods offers a glimpse of modern Hanoi and a vision of what's to come in the next 1000 years.
A specialist guide will accompany on this Vietnam tour package, providing insight from a local perspective. You can choose to explore the city with a renowned history professor or opt for a university student who has received specialized Hanoi history training. Their expert knowledge and personal accounts offer a truly unique view of the capital.
