Itinerary
Day 1
Hotel pickup (Old Quarter) and a 3‑hour guided walking food tasting through Hanoi’s Old Quarter, finishing with return to your hotel or directions to continue exploring.
Pickup & briefing; Old Quarter street food walk
Your guide will collect you from your hotel in the Old Quarter (or meet at the listed meeting point) for a short briefing, then lead a 3‑hour walking food tour sampling a rotating menu of local specialties (up to ~10 small tastings). Typical tastings may include varieties of rice noodle soups, grilled pork noodles, snails, sticky rice, steamed pancakes and Vietnamese sandwiches — menu varies day to day.
Tips from local experts:
- If you prefer pickup, confirm your exact hotel name and room number when you book so the guide can find you quickly.
- Bring a small amount of cash in local currency (coins and small notes) for stall purchases and to tip the guide if you wish.
- Wear comfortable shoes for uneven sidewalks; carry a light jacket as evenings in November can get breezy.
Return to hotel / Farewell
After the final tasting and a short wrap-up with your guide, you will be walked back or shown the route to return to your hotel within the Old Quarter, or given suggestions for nearby spots to continue exploring independently.
Tips from local experts:
- If you plan to take a taxi or ride-hail (Grab), ask the guide to write your hotel name and address in Vietnamese to show drivers.
- If you prefer the guide to drop you at your hotel, have your hotel address ready when the tour starts to save time at the end.
- If continuing on foot around Hoàn Kiếm, follow the guide’s suggested route to avoid busy intersections and to enjoy quieter lanes.
