Itinerary

• Meet your lovely local guide Start your adventure with your expert, English-speaking guide who will introduce you to the flavors and culture of Hanoi. Our evening Hanoi street food tour begins at Dong Xuan Market, the city's largest and most bustling covered market. Surrounding the market, numerous street hawkers showcase an impressive array of goods, ranging from live seafood to exotic fruits and spices. Our expert English-speaking guide will provide you with insights into the intricacies and traditions of Vietnamese food culture, sharing details about ingredients and the historical backgrounds of popular northern dishes. As we traverse the market, we indulge in seasonal foods and sample a delectable French-inspired snack from a street cart, all while gaining a deeper understanding of the rich culinary heritage.

• The infamous Old Quarter Next, we dive into the infamous Old Quarter, a maze of narrow alleys and bustling streets that reveal the authentic spirit of Hanoi. Here, we’ll stop at a local eatery to enjoy Bánh Cuốn, a beloved Hanoi dish of rice rolls filled with savory ingredients. Witness in awe as skilled chefs demonstrate the art of crafting this flavorful dish. Progressing further into the atmospheric core of the Old Quarter, we meander past lively street stalls and serene residential lanes, offering a glimpse into local life that has retained its essence since Hanoi’s inception over 1,000 years ago. Feel the energy of the city as you experience a place where tradition and modernity exist side by side.

• Dessert by the Lake After savoring dishes, it’s time to satisfy your sweet tooth. We venture down a quiet alley to sample a local dessert. Indulging the local tradition, fresh fruit is served in a cup, generously topped with crushed ice and condensed milk. This is such a cooling perfect treat for a warm Hanoi evening - a specialty not to be missed! Following this delightful experience, your local guide will lead you to one of Hanoi’s best-kept secrets: a hidden café with breathtaking views overlooking the picturesque Hoan Kiem Lake. This elusive gem is among our favorite hidden cafes that serve the famous egg coffee, a delectable local delicacy that we’ll savor while admiring the lively city center below. Alternatively, if coffee isn’t your preference, a refreshing cold beer awaits!
