In recent days, articles have appeared on social networks with the content that, to celebrate the 79th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day September 2, the Hanoi Department of Tourism will offer free double-decker buses "Hanoi City Tour" for tourists visiting Hanoi during the 4-day holiday.
Accordingly, tourists and residents can receive free tickets starting today (August 31) at the parking area near the Hanoi Opera House.
"According to information on the internet, at around 10am this morning (August 31), I went to the ticket office of the double-decker bus to receive a free ticket. However, the staff here said that this holiday does not run for free," said Mr. Dam Quang (Hung Yen).
On the afternoon of August 31, PV contacted the unit operating the "Hanoi City Tour" route to verify the above information. An employee of this unit said that the information about free double-decker bus tickets during the 4-day holiday of September 2 was incorrect.
"Currently, the unit has no plans to run for free during this holiday. The information online is incorrect," said the consultant.
Thus, this year's National Day holiday, the double-decker bus has no plan to offer free tickets to tourists and residents like previous holidays.
Hanoi double-decker buses are a unique service and bring many experiences to tourists. The journey to see the capital on "open-top" buses is chosen by many tourists when coming to Hanoi.
With the double-decker bus, tourists can visit many famous landmarks of Hanoi, such as: Temple of Literature, Old Quarter, Thang Long Imperial Citadel, Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum...
Refer to the Hanoicitytour homepage, ticket prices range from 50,000 - 650,000 VND. The cheapest ticket of 50,000 VND is a one-way ticket for children, while the most expensive ticket is a 48-hour ticket, priced at 650,000 VND/ticket.
