Hanoi Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum & War History Guided Tour - Train Street Visit

Discover Hanoi's war history and daily life
with a local guide

The private tour (about 7-8 hours) includes hotel pickup and visits Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, the Nam Hong wartime tunnel, the B52 Museum and B52 Lake. The small group tour (up to 6 people, about 4-5 hours) meets at Ly Thai To Park and visits Hoan Kiem Lake, Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, the One Pillar Pagoda, Hoa Lo Prison and more.

Both tours finish at Hanoi Train Street, where you watch trains pass through a narrow alley right next to homes while enjoying a drink.

Learn about Ho Chi Minh's life at his mausoleum

Both tours visit Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, where your guide tells you about Ho Chi Minh's simple life. The inside of the mausoleum is open in the morning only, except Mondays and Fridays.

The small group tour also visits the One Pillar Pagoda, an iconic Buddhist structure of Hanoi, and Dien Huu Pagoda to learn about Vietnamese worship culture.

The private tour visits the Nam Hong tunnel and B52 sites

At the Nam Hong wartime tunnel on the outskirts of Hanoi, walk along narrow underground passages, see the living spaces and storerooms used by residents, and hear stories of the people who defended their village.

At the B52 Museum, see the wreckage of a downed B52 bomber and other war relics while learning about Vietnam's air defense, then visit B52 Lake, where bomber wreckage still remains.

The small group tour walks Hoan Kiem Lake and Hoa Lo Prison

Start at Ly Thai To Park, linked to Hanoi's 1,000-year heritage, then stroll around Hoan Kiem Lake, home to the legend of the returned sword, and Lenin Park. At Hoa Lo Prison Museum, known as the "Hanoi Hilton," see dark cells and prisoners' artifacts while hearing stories of that era.

On the afternoon tour, enjoy traditional tea or drinks and snacks at a local spot and learn about everyday Vietnamese life.
