Hanoi Highlights

In the morning, be picked up at your hotel and start your Hanoi trip. You’ll visit the splendid Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, a historical attraction known for honoring the Vietnamese revolutionary leader Ho Chi Minh who has led the country to independence; the Ho Chi Minh's house on stilts, a traditional rural dwelling, which served as the residence for president Ho Chi Minh; the French-style Presidential Palace, the iconic Buddhist One Pillar Pagoda, the dubiously named ‘Hanoi Hilton’ - actually the former Hoa Lo Prison and the Confucius Temple of Literature which holds Vietnam's first national university.
In the afternoon, pay a visit to the Museum of Ethnology, which archives Vietnam's some 54 different ethnic groups through videos, recording, artifacts and other features. This will be followed by a rickshaw ride along the bustling Old Quarter as the historic commercial center of Hanoi for generations. A pleasant conclusion to the day is the beautiful Hoan Kiem Lake, from where you will be enchanted by a traditional Water Puppet Show, now well-established as an important part of Vietnamese culture. You will then be escorted back to your hotel in the late afternoon.
Note: Please note that the HCM Mausoleum is closed on Fridays and Mondays and most museums are closed on Mondays.

November 2017

Mr. Alick Peng gave us great service in organizing an itinerary for Vietnam. His itinerary was detailed and he always replied promptly to any queries.

April 2017

Over recent months we had planned to do a private tour of Northern Thailand, however on the first occasion due to my wife's mother health we had to postpone, in just this month had rebooked and paid for the same trip. Unexpectedly our daughter gave birth to a very premature little girl and out trip had to be cancelled. Vincent from Odyssey has been extremely patient and understanding through these family challenges and was also able to arrange some credit from our sudden cancellation. Our sincere heart felt gratitude to Vincent and his team.

How Private Tour Works

Accommodation
Enjoy comfortable stay at competitive rates and with insider bonus of our partnership with international hotel chains and local ones. Most of the options are recommended based on our field inspection to ensure quality. Kindly note that hospitality service in remote area can hardly maintain the same standard as those in the city.

Meals
Meals provided will be clearly outlined in the confirmed itinerary. In most cases, breakfast is served in the hotel. To make the trip go smooth, lunch is recommended to be included for set menu or a la carte, local flavor or western style, depending on your liking. Restaurants are selected according to positive feedback with your diet requirements in mind. Dinner is the time when you are free to explore the destination’s hidden delights, but we are always happy to give recommendation or offer assistance. In remote area, meals are likely to be arranged in tourist restaurant or a local family due to limited options.

Tour Guide & Transfer
Every tour comes with English-speaking guides (or other languages on request) and private transfer in each city. The licensed, professional tour guides are from local and will be a friendly, knowledgeable company to travel with. When it comes to your personal driver or chauffeur guide, they are experienced and service-minded, all driving well-maintained, air-conditioned vehicles.
