Your guide will meet you at your hotel in Hanoi’s Old Quarter for a brief introduction before beginning a 3-hour walking food tour. Explore the local culture and history of Hanoi as you wander through lively streets, hidden alleys, and authentic eateries that you might easily miss on your own. Along the way, sample a variety of Vietnamese street food and drinks, including bún chả (grilled pork with noodles), phở bò or phở gà (beef or chicken noodle soup), bánh cuốn (steamed rice rolls), nem rán (fried spring rolls), bánh mì (Vietnamese sandwich), and chè (traditional Vietnamese sweet dessert). Enjoy an authentic taste of Hanoi’s food scene with your private guide before continuing to Hanoi Train Street for a memorable local experience.

Hanoi Train Street is one of the city’s most distinctive attractions, famous for its narrow railway corridor running just inches from local homes and cafés. Built more than a century ago, the railway has become a popular spot for visitors to experience Hanoi’s unique blend of everyday local life and railway history. Stop at a nearby café to enjoy a drink and soak up the atmosphere, and if a train is scheduled to pass, watch from a designated safe area while following your guide’s instructions and local safety regulations.
