• Meet your lovely local guide

Embark on our evening Hanoi street food tour commencing at Dong Xuan, the city’s largest 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

Strolling through the labyrinth of vibrant streets comprising Hanoi’s Old Quarter, we tantalize our taste buds with the renowned Hanoi dish Banh Cuon at a local eatery. 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.

• Dessert by the Lake

Now, it’s time for dessert as we venture down a small alley to partake in the local tradition of indulging in fresh fruit served in a cup, generously topped with crushed ice and condensed milk – 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 the few remaining in the city that still serves 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!

• Continue exploring

Savor the remainder of your evening by exploring the area at your leisure, or if needed, your guide will be on hand to provide assistance with directions or arrange a taxi back to your hotel.
