Our tour guide and driver will pick you up from you Hotel/Stay n the Old Quarter area and depart to the first stop Hanoi Opera House among Frech Quarter. It was modeled on the Palais Garnier, the older of Paris's two opera houses, and is considered to be one of the architectural landmarks of Hanoi.

A traffic-free area of botanical gardens, monuments, memorials and pagodas, it’s usually crowded with groups of Vietnamese who come from far and wide to pay their respects to 'Uncle Ho'. We will stop outside the Ba Dinh Square and take a look outside mausoleum (If you want to get inside Ho Chi Minh's stilt house, you need to pay the entrance ticket by yourself).
