Meet your guide at your hotel in Hanoi’s Old Quarter or a central meeting point. After a short introduction, begin a 3-hour walking tour through the lively streets and hidden alleys of the Old Quarter. Your first stops focus on classic Vietnamese dishes such as pho and bun cha, where you’ll sit at local eateries and learn how these iconic meals are prepared and enjoyed by locals. Continue to different food stalls and family-run shops to try specialties like banh mi, banh cuon, and banh xeo, along with street BBQ and local snacks. Between stops, your guide will share insights into Hanoi’s food culture, history, and daily life, helping you understand how each dish connects to the city’s traditions. You’ll also visit lesser-known spots that are popular with locals but often missed by tourists. The tour ends with a sweet treat such as a traditional dessert or egg coffee at a local café. By the end of the experience, you’ll have enjoyed a full meal across multiple stops while gaining a deeper appreciation of Hanoi’s vibrant street food scene.
