After your guide meets you at your hotel or previously arranged designated meeting point in Hanoi's Old Quarter, embark on a 3-hour walking tour through the intricate network of alleys and streets of Hanoi's well-known street food paradise. Along the route, take advantage of encounters with the locals to hear interesting stories and experience the local lifestyle in the closest way possible through personal interaction. Listen to your guide dispense information about Northern Vietnamese and particularly typical Hanoian food. Branch out beyond typical pho (vietnamese soup) and banh mi (baguette snack) and taste some of the popular foods sold by vendors at the stalls, cafes and makeshift storefronts. Many of these places have been passed along from generation to generation. With over 1000 year of history in this city, surely you will end the day with unforgettable memories and a new insight to the food phenomenon which has been forming a unique habit and culture.
