Very disappointed
This was directly under Jeep tours and I mistakenly booked a “military tour” falsely assuming it was in a jeep. It was NOT. The operator would not refund when we stressed we did not want to do this tour we could do ourselves in a regular car. They would not assist at all with a partial refund or anything. Totally ruined my experience as I thought we would be in a jeep. I was very unhappy and couldn’t enjoy the trip at all. I would have just left it had t cost me already over $300 AUD for 2 people. Don’t be as stupid as me and think This is in a Jeep. There is no room for error.. not the fault of the guide but when I’m upset I can’t enjoy.
Response from the operator: Dear Sharon! Im sorry to hear that you couldn't enjoy the my Military tour. This is not my FAULT when you booked my tour but expected for the Jeep Tour. Im offering the Military tour and dont have any words or picture concern about JEEP. You didnt read carefully when you book the tour. In your review, you also agree that is not my Tourguide's fault, you felt upset and couldnt enjoy because that not the tour you were expected. I couldnt refund you because you booked via Viator system and I already dilivered services as my tour programe. So you gave me 2 stars review is NOT FAIR for my business, because I did not do anything wrong. Pls take your review back. Best regard! Alex

Perfect for the history buff in all of us
Alex is a walking encyclopedia of knowledge. If you are a history buff, or want a tour that is more focused on the historic and militaristic side of Vietnam, this is the one! As the other reviewers have stated, you quickly get from site to site via nice air-conditioned taxi, and Alex did an excellent job providing a historical context to what would otherwise be just a quick photo stop. Highly recommend!

History 101
I had an amazing tour with Alex. he was informative and was happy to explain all about the wars that Vietnam have been through. There were some quite emotional and harrowing images, especially at the 'Hanoi Hilton' prison. I was a lone traveller and had amazing experience of Vietnam's rich and varied history, which included the ancient Citadel, with it's beautiful buildings and gardens.

Great Tour of Hanoi Military Sites
While visiting in Hanoi, and friend and I took the half day military tour. We visited the Hanoi Military Museum, the Hoa Lo Prison, and the site of the crashed B-52. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the places we visited and answered all of our questions. He stayed in touch before the tour, and met us at our hotel exactly on time. As we walked around the city, he answered all of questions and led us through some “off the beaten path” areas. It was a very enjoyable and educational tour.

Why this scores 50
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hanoi Military tour for Half day city: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does Hanoi Military tour for Half day city cost?
+
Prices start at $15 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hanoi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Hanoi Military tour for Half day city take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hanoi is not rushed.
Is Hanoi Military tour for Half day city worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Hanoi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hanoi Military tour for Half day city?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Hanoi Military tour for Half day city suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hanoi Military tour for Half day city?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hanoi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hanoi and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hanoi Military tour for Half day city start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hanoi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hanoi?
+
On Outty we rank every Hanoi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ninh Binh Day Trip from Hanoi with Tam Coc or Trang An & Mua Cave, Ha Giang Loop Tour 4 Days 3 Nights with Ha Giang Vision Tour, Halong Bay Day Tour With Titop Island, Cave, Kayak & Lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hanoi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hanoi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
