No matter your age, you’ve probably heard about the Vietnam War, one of the most famous wars in world history and appeared frequently on every major newspaper back in the 1960s. There is so much information about this historical event, so we want to design The Original War Tour which is the best choice to explore and learn more about the real Vietnam War from the perspective of the local who was involved or the victims of the war. We take you out of the old quarter to bring you to the far off places for you to get the chance to experience and learn about the Vietnam war and also the French Indochina war that has affected Hanoi for many years.
We get the opportunity to visit some very unique locations in and around Hanoi city. In each place we visit, we share special stories about what happened here over 44 years ago. Most of them are far away from tourist eyes.

We went with scooters. First it was raining, but they where prepared with rain protection for us. It is so much more flexible to go with a scooter!!We got a great insight view on Vietnam History and we where able to learn a lot from our guide Ha. He was accompanied from Niguyet and the two of them took very good care of us
I loved when we went through the black market on our scooters. It felt like in a James Bond movie

This was a really great experience and I learned so much about the city and its history that I would not have been able to learn otherwise. My guide was Ha, and he was super knowledgeable and friendly. He took me to many less touristy parts of the city, including some of his favourite places to eat for snack and meal breaks.

I had an amazing experience with Nhi Nyugen on her scooter. She was informative of all the various historical places we visited; especially as her Grandfather had experienced so much of the War in Hanoi.
The tour also included lots of different experiences, life on the Black Market, the Opera house, and monuments to some pretty emotional acts of kindness and bravery that occurred during the war.
We also had Breakfast in the Market cooked just for me, YUM! Then juice by the 52 Bomber memorial; again freshly squeezed as we ordered, and lunch by the lake at a historical Cafe that specialises in being a small museum about post War life too.
We also had a refreshing, and very tasty, Hanoi beer in a local watering hole, made local and not in a can; served by the jug!!. The land lady even filled an empty water bottle with a wee drop to take back to my hotel for later!!
I travelled alone so this experience is one I would never have had, if it had not been for the time I spent with Nhi. Thanks also to her boss Brian, for making it happen. These guides and team will work very hard with you, or your group to make each experience exactly what you or your group require .
Amazing time whizzing around Hanoi on Nhi's scooter, an experience I will treasure always.
Thank you
