Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, Ho Chi Minh Museum (closed on every Monday and Friday, and in Jun to Aug, and all afternoons), Ba Dinh Square and Ho Chi Minh's house on stilt. The place was built to keep Ho Chi Minh’s body remained after he passed away so that he can somehow find contentment in seeing Vietnam united. Visiting the house on stilts, you can feel his simple and pure lifestyle in and wooden tiled house on stilts, surrounded by a garden which is full of fruit trees and a peaceful fishpond. Lying to one side of the Mausoleum is the One Pillar Pagoda; built by King Ly Thai To in 1049. This structure has become an important symbol for the people of Hanoi. Then, you will visit the Temple of Literature, built in 1076. Vietnam’s first university was established within this temple to educate Vietnam's royalty, mandarins and members of the elite. The university functioned for 700 years and its gardens and well-preserved architecture offer a fascinating glimpse into Vietnam’s past.

          A really interesting and fun filled tour of Hội An.
          Hai was an amazing tour guide, extremely friendly and very knowledgeable. He took us to some really interesting parts of town and explained the history, answering all our questions. He told us about Vietnamese life and helped us understand the culture. Hai was flexible, listened to our requests and pandered to our needs. I couldn’t recommend him more.

          A MUST SEE location
          The older section of the city is a moated, walled citadel surrounded by eleven stone gates. This palace is somewhat like the Forbidden City in Beijing China but in no way as crowded with tourists (especially those pushing and yelling CHINESE tourists). This wall enclosed Royal Compound is Massive at 3 X 3 Miles (NOT exaggerating), thus much bigger than the Forbidden City in Beijing China. Hue became the capital city of a reunified Vietnam from 1802 until 1945 under the reign of the Nguyễn dynasty, where the last emperor turned over all political control to Ho Chie Min at the end of the American war. We observed the damage and rebuilding of the citadel’s grounds following the Viet Cong Tet Offensive. THIS IS A MUST SEE location for anyone visiting Vietnam, but make sure you come here with a guide, as just roaming around the grounds on your own, you will NOT relate well to all the history here. There is a massive water Moat around the 3X3 mile complex, and within its design was to be able to fend off invaders, and especially invaders at the time that had the ultimate weapon = Elephants!!!!

          Picturesque old town
          Beautiful old town with a lot of restaurants, bars & shops along the river bank. It is so delightful & picturesque at night when all the lanterns are lit up all over the old town. It is a must do for anyone staying over at Hoi An. There is a night market here selling all kinds of food, souvenirs, bags & clothes. One thing to note is that bargaining is necessary & one should not feel compelled to buy. One should only buy when you think the final price is what you are willing to pay for the item.

          Excellent tour guide Mr Linh
          We joined this tour group thru Jacky travel. The tour guide, Mr Linh , from Ninh bing excursion was humorous. We were seated in a 34 seater bus. We left for Ha Long Bay (HLB) at 9am as he has to fetch the tourists from diff hotels b4 we depart. Throughout the journey, he was telling us the history of HLB. As the journey is long, As and when he would crack some jokes. Quite a knowledgeable guy, as he shared his insight on the nearby property at HLB. A gem for his company!
