Itinerary

Hanoi Culture Discovery Private Tour

Morning Program 9:00 AM / Afternoon Program 3:00 PM

Your guide will meet you at the hotel, provide a brief overview of the itinerary, and then begin the tour by strolling through Hanoi’s Old Quarter.

First, explore the ancient streets of Hanoi’s Old Quarter. Next, enjoy some shopping (about 1 hour) at popular spots like Đồng Xuân or Hàng Da Market, one of the largest wholesale and retail markets, and browse through various shops along Lương Văn Can, Hàng Đào, Hàng Gai, and Hàng Bông streets.

A special highlight of the program is the opportunity to try on and wear the traditional Vietnamese national costume—a long, colorful dress for both men and women. Afterward, relax on a cyclo ride around the Old Quarter, where you can take photographs at picturesque spots like Hoan Kiem Lake and the ancient church, using either the guide’s smartphone or your own. These photos will serve as memorable keepsakes from Vietnam.

In the remaining time, you’ll have the chance to savor some street food, enjoying simple yet delicious dishes at local eateries, such as:

Bún riêu (rice noodles with crab meat, beef, and broth) – Bánh đa trộn (big vermicelli mixed with peanuts, fried tofu, morning glory, crab meat, and bean sprouts) – Bánh cuốn (hot steamed rice flour rolls with mixed meats, ear mushrooms, onions, garlic, and herbs) – Nem rán / Phở cuốn (fried spring rolls or fresh spring rolls) – Bánh xèo (fried pancakes with rice flour, beef, shrimp, and bean sprouts)

Lastly, don’t miss the highly recommended Hanoi specialty—Cà phê trứng (egg coffee), a unique Vietnamese treat.
