Highlights
  • Hanoi Street Food Tour - Welcome Happy Water Drink
  • Old Quarter - We will discover O Quan Chuong Gate & Taste some different street foods at different street foods’s Vendors
  • Dong Xuan Market - The forerunner of Dong Xuan Market was Bach Ma Market and Cau Dong Market - the two ancient markets of Thang Long Citadel. After the French authority ordered the abolition of all small markets to form a new large market in the purpose of facilitating the purchase and exchange of goods, Dong Xuan Market was born in 1889. Thanks to its riverside location - where boats operated busily all day and night, the market quickly became the biggest trade center in the capital.

In 1947, the market was heavily influenced by the fierce war of the Hanoi’s soldiers and people in the early days of the resistance war. Then, a big fire occurring in 1994 caused great damage in the market. Therefore, a year later, Dong Xuan Market was rebuilt with a total area of three floors of nearly 14,000 m2 with more than 2,000 stores.

  • Long Bien Bridge - Long Bien Bridge (Vietnamese: Cầu Long Biên), is about 2km from Hoan Kiem Lake, with a history of over 100 years, is not only a traffic construction but also a meaningful historical and symbolic witness to the resilience of Hanoi during the two greatest resistance wars against the French colonialists and American imperialism as well as the dramatic changes of this city in the new era.

Food Tour with Apple - Gastronomic tour and the old town of Hanoi at the top! Discover many typical dishes! To do at the beginning of your stay to continue to soak up local products throughout your stay in Vietnam. Good value for money. All accompanied by the Apple guide passionate about passing on his culinary knowledge! I recommend.

Best walking food tour in Hanoi - My best friend and I enjoyed an absolutely incredible walking food tour through the old quarter this evening with our lovely guide Elena. She took us to 8 different spots, where we enjoyed a huge variety of local street foods. From pork intestine to Banh mi, this tour covered all the bases, ending with a delicious Vietnamese egg coffee and dessert. Couldn’t recommend it more, and so worth the money! 5/5

Fantastic! - Great food tour in Hanoi! We went with guide Apple, she was amazing women! She told us everything about the Vietnam culture and food. We wouldn't eat the food normally, but due to the tour and Apple's enthousiasm we tried everything and wauw! Everything was so delicious! So not only great for getting to know Vietnam food, but also to understand the Vietnam culture.

Elena and Hanoi Street Food Tour Heritage Walking Tour - Elena was a wonderful guide. We had a great variety of different foods, including some we had not had before (this is our 3rd time in Vietnam, 2nd in Hanoi). There are 9 stops total, including a much needed beer at the end, means you aren't walking long distances. Start out hungry because you won't be at the end. Would absolutely do another tour with Hanoi Street Food Tour and Elena again!
