Hanoi Walking Tour

The best way to experience Hanoi's hustle and bustle is to join it. Join our private walking tour, walk through the packed streets, beat the heat, and explore the oldest yet busiest business district, the Old Quarter.

This three-hour tour can start either in the morning or afternoon, whichever you prefer; though we recommend early in the morning, as then you can witness the wave of motorbikes at rush hour.

Receive an introduction to Vietnam's 55 ethnic minority groups and their unique and indigenous cultures at The Vietnam Museum of Ethology, and then learn more about Vietnam's war history at Hoa Lo Prison.

After a short break, our local guide will lead you through the clusters of market in the Old Quarter, passing the uniquely-styled tube houses.

Stop and see the following ancient relics and sites: Bach Ma Temple, Quan Chuong Gate, Ly Quoc Su Temple, Hanoi's biggest indoor market Dong Xuan Market, and the magnificent 200-year-old Saint Joseph's Cathedral.

The pace becomes as leisurely as possible when we arrive at Hoan Kiem Lake (with Ngoc Son Temple in the middle), the tranquil but still lively spot regarded as the center of the city. Choose a bench and sit down, or take a stroll around, while basking in the sun and enjoying the breeze.

The tour will end after a sweet treat either at Fany Ice Cream, Thuy Ta Ice Cream, or some other popular cafe or restaurant nearby with our local guide.

If you are keen on walking and want to challenge your taste buds, our Hanoi Street Food Tour is for you.

Hanoi Street Food Tour

This tour is highly recommended for gastronomically adventurous people, and those who want to eat as the Hanoians do. Be prepared to spoil your own senses with exotic flavors of Vietnam at around 6 different tasting spots, accompanied by our passionate and knowledgeable local guide.

This three-hour culinary adventure begins in Dong Xuan Market, the biggest, oldest and busiest indoor market in Hanoi, where our local guide will point you to some seasonal fruit and local snacks, before moving on to visit other local food vendors.

Amongst the bustling narrow streets of the Old Quarter, there are numerous food vendors that are the best in town, but hard to find.

Our local guide will save you time and trouble in finding them, so you can taste xoi xeo on Nguyen Huu Huan Street, traditional snacks like banh gio or banh ching tang may at Luong Ngoc Quyen Street, and many more.

Then you can make the most of your culinary adventure by enjoying flame-grilled meat at outdoor barbecue stands, witnessing how chefs prepare your bun cha ta or banh cuon, and strolling down the alleys for the famous egg coffee or Vietnamese rice wine.

We are ready to listen to your trip aspirations! Inform us of your preferences and we will arrange your tour accordingly, without further ado.
