Hanoi Vietnam War History Walking Tour - Kham Thien B52 Memorial & Train Street

Walk through wartime Hanoi
in conversation with a local guide

This history walking tour of about 3 hours takes you through Hanoi's streets and memorial sites to hear stories of the Vietnam War and its aftermath. Topics include life under the planned economy, the fates of locals in the North and South, and how a Vietnam divided by the Cold War was reunified.

It goes into depth but stays relaxed, more conversation than lecture, with a short taxi ride along the way. An English-speaking guide leads the tour, and you can choose a group or private tour.

Explore the Cho Gioi area,
rarely visited by tourists

Meet on Chua Vua Street and walk around Nguyen Cong Tru Market and the Cho Gioi area. See Hanoi neighborhoods rarely covered in guidebooks while hearing how residents lived during the war and the rationing era. Take a break with coffee or tea along the way.

Face memories of the bombing
at the Kham Thien B52 Memorial

Visit the memorial on Kham Thien Street honoring the victims of the B52 bombing. Talk with your guide about the darker side of Hanoi's most famous monuments and the stories of residents at the time.

Finish the tour
at Hanoi Train Street

Finally, see Hanoi Train Street, where the railway runs through a narrow lane, and end the tour near 224 Le Duan Street. The operator donates 20% of profits to the Vietnam Association for Victims of Agent Orange and the Blue Dragon Children's Foundation.

※ The tour runs in all weather, and the order of visits may change depending on local conditions.
