Tour Itinerary

Hotel Pickup and Safety Briefing

Your guide and driver will meet you at your hotel. Electric-scooter guests will receive a helmet fitting and safety briefing before departure. Your guide will also introduce Hanoi’s food culture and explain local street-dining etiquette.

Explore Hidden Hanoi

Begin your journey through the colourful streets of Hanoi’s Old Quarter before continuing into the elegant French Quarter, residential neighbourhoods and hidden alleyways rarely visited by tourists.

Experience Hanoi’s evening rhythm from a local perspective while your guide shares stories about the city, its people and its distinctive culinary traditions.

Bun Cha

Sample bun cha, one of Hanoi’s most celebrated dishes. Grilled pork is served with rice vermicelli, fresh herbs and a balanced sweet-and-sour dipping broth. The dish gained international attention when former US President Barack Obama enjoyed it in Hanoi with chef Anthony Bourdain in 2016.

Banh Mi

Enjoy Vietnam’s famous banh mi—a crisp, airy baguette filled with savoury meat, fresh herbs, vegetables and pickles. This much-loved street food reflects the meeting of Vietnamese flavours and French culinary influence.

Banh Cuon

Taste freshly prepared banh cuon: delicate steamed rice rolls filled with seasoned minced pork and wood-ear mushrooms. They are traditionally served with fresh herbs and Vietnamese dipping sauce.

Hanoi Egg Coffee

Finish the food experience with Hanoi’s signature egg coffee. Created in the city in the 1940s, this rich speciality combines robust Vietnamese coffee with a smooth, custard-like topping made from whipped egg yolk and sweetened condensed milk.

Return to Your Hotel

After the final tasting, your guide and driver will accompany you safely back to your hotel. Your guide will also be happy to share recommendations for nightlife, shopping and further exploration in Hanoi.
