Vietnam Fee Tours is one of the "Vietnam Travel Free Of Charge" projects sponsored by GoAsiaDayTrip with the aim to bring the beauty of a long-lasting culture, bravery history and friendly citizens of Vietnam to visitors from all over the world. At the same time, GoAsiaDayTrip also wants to promote communication and culture exchange between travelers and Vietnamese students, making basis for the development of tourism as well as the development of Vietnamese youth. With Vietnam Free Tours, tourists have chance to experience special service with customized itinerary. Particularly, the guides are free and local. They are college students who are trained professionally by GoAsiaDayTrip. By sponsoring this project, GoAsiaDayTrip hopes to support them with a little money after each tour to invest in their study to gain better results. For the time being, Vietnam Free Tours is available in Hanoi (Hanoi Free Tours). Hopefully, in near future, with the valuable support and feedback from our beloved guests, we will be able to expand our free service to Ho Chi Minh (Saigon Free Tours), Da Nang - Hoi An (Da Nang - Hoi An Free Tours) and even in all destinations of Vietnam. Apart from free tours, in this "Vietnam Travel Free Of Charge" project, it is our honor to offer you other free service in Vietnam like Free Visa On Arrival or Free Guide Book, etc. “We wish to bring tourists the most memorable experience during your time in Vietnam. If you haven’t come to Vietnam yet, hurry up or you will miss out on on an amazing experience. Vietnam & Southeast Asia - The missing piece of your trip” (Mr. Andy Nguyen – CEO of GoAsiaDayTrip)

Two quarters in just one city, what makes the difference?

If the Old Quarter is the most typical symbol for an old Hanoi, the French Quarter, on the other hand, is the new of the past Hanoi in 1900s. Standing side by side, each reserved its own beauty, old and dynamic, modest and discreet, charming and proud.

HIGHLIGHTS

- St. Joseph's Cathedral

Then, let’s go to Bach Ma temple. This temple is one of the four sacred points created according to legends to protect the capital.

09:00 - Leaving the temple, we're few steps away from Ma May House. This is one of the oldest houses in this quarter and it still preserves many unique features of urban house in the past.

09:30 - Before heading for Hoan Kiem Lake, it's perfect to sit down, drink some coffee and have a nice talk with locals to understand more about their life. Egg Coffee at Giang Coffee is highly recommended.
