Spend around three to four hours walking through Hanoi’s Old Quarter with an English-speaking guide. This private evening tour combines street food tastings for dinner with time to explore the neighbourhood on foot. Expect Hanoi classics such as pho, banh mi and egg coffee alongside smaller bites like fried spring rolls and fresh rice noodle rolls.
Meet your guide in the Old Quarter in the early evening. Along the way, see the small shopfronts of Lan Ong Street and stop near St. Joseph’s Cathedral, where the streets open into a different part of the neighbourhood. Your guide connects the food with the places where people eat it.
The exact tasting stops can vary with opening hours and availability. Let us know about dietary needs before booking so we can check which options are practical.
The tour takes place on foot through active city streets. Pickup and drop-off are included within the Hanoi Old Quarter. Send your hotel name and preferred date so we can confirm the meeting point, start time and arrangements for your party.
