Your cyclo, a "bicycle taxi" pedaled by a driver behind you, gives you an unobstructed view, perfect for snapping photos during your tour.
You'll proceed to the Hanoi Opera House in the French Quarter, located in central Hanoi, and erected by the French colonial administration between 1901 and 1911. Just a few steps away is the Legendary Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi Hotel, the Grand Dame of Southeast Asia, beckoning guests with her unmatched colonial grandeur and timeless elegance. Here, you'll get to experience the opulence of another era. Then you'll travel and see the Hoan Kiem Lake ("Lake of the Returned Sword"), named in the 15 century. The Old Quarter is the heart of Hanoi, home to many of the must-see sights. Ride at the perfect pace to enjoy some of the 36 tree-shaded streets of this historic district.
Exchange your seat on the cyclo for a seat at the Thang Long Water Puppet Theater to watch an hour puppet show. The quintessential Vietnamese art of water puppetry uses a complex system of underwater poles, rods, and strings to bring these elaborate puppets to life. Puppeteers bring magic to the water’s surface as they spin tales of Vietnamese legends—knights on horseback, princesses, unicorns, and fire-breathing sea dragons. Tour ends at the theater, so please plan your return transfer accordingly.
