Itinerary Details

Day 1: Hanoi – Street Food Tour

Arrival in Hanoi
Upon landing at Noi Bai Airport, our guide and driver will meet you at the arrival lobby and transfer you to your hotel in the Old Quarter. During the 45-minute drive, you’ll receive an introduction to Hanoi’s must-visit destinations, culture, traffic, and culinary delights.
Upon arrival at your hotel, complete the check-in process and take some time to rest.

Note: Hotel check-in time is at 2:00 PM.

Street Food Tour
Time: 5:30 PM – 8:30 PM

Embark on a 3-hour exploration of Hanoi’s Old Quarter, either by foot or motorbike, and savor between 5–8 authentic Vietnamese dishes, paired with at least three drinks (e.g., egg coffee, local beer, or bottled water).
This unique culinary adventure is guided by experienced English-speaking guides, offering a thoughtfully designed itinerary and diverse food options.

Highlights of the Tour:

• Start with a stroll to Hoan Kiem Lake, the vibrant heart of Hanoi, and head into the charming Bao Khanh Alley. Here, you’ll enjoy Bánh Cuốn (steamed rolled rice pancake) filled with minced pork, wood ear mushrooms, and topped with fried onions, served with fish sauce and fresh herbs. You can even try making your own!
• Pass the historic Hanoi Cathedral, constructed in 1884 by the French, and arrive at Hang Manh Street, famous for Bún Chả. This dish includes grilled pork, rice vermicelli, fresh herbs, and a tangy dipping sauce, often accompanied by crispy spring rolls.
• No Hanoi food tour is complete without trying Bánh Mì (Vietnamese bread), a famous cuisine originating from the French colonialism days. It’s a crispy baguette combined with diverse fillings like pork sausage (Giò Lụa), pate, pickles, coriander, cucumber, and grilled meat… to each person’s taste.
• Next, indulge in Phở (Vietnamese rice noodle soup). Nearly all international tourists visiting Vietnam seek the opportunity to savor a bowl of Pho in Hanoi. The traditional Vietnamese dish consists of rich broth, rice noodles, meat, and herbs. Pho Bo (using beef) and Pho Ga (with chicken) are two popular types.
• Conclude your tour with a relaxing drink. Enjoy a cup of egg coffee, honey ginger tea, or lemongrass tea, or relax with a bottle of local beer.
