Interesting opportunity to better understand Vietnam’s political and cultural history. Our guide, Linh Chi, was excellent. Her English was quite good and she was very solicitous of our interests and preferences.
Better skip, trust a more reliable Tour

Tour guide did not arrive, there was no response from the tour operator until Viator reached them directly. Then the refund had to be chased as Viator did not receive approval from the Tour operator.
Very interesting, worth a visit

My tour was with Lily, who was a brilliant, informative, and very entertaining guide. She explained the history of Ho Chi Minh Presidential Complex and the Temple of Literature very well, and she shared plenty of further recommendations for other places to visit in Hanoi. The tour packs a lot into three hours. There’s a lot of information to take in and not much time to linger at the various sites, but it’s a fantastic way to spend an afternoon in Hanoi.
Amazing experience
