Lake of the Restored Sword (Hoan Kiem Lake)
Situated in Hanoi, Hoan Kiem Lake draws locals and tourists searching for a relaxing escape from the noise and bustles of the Old Quarter’s streets. Deemed as the heart of Hanoi, the lake is regarded as a legendary spot, which further amplifies much of its prestige and makes it remarkable amid several other lakes in the northern region.
Hanoi Opera House
The beautiful Hanoi Opera House was built in 1911 by the then ruling French. It’s a phenomenal piece of neo-classical French architecture featuring Gothic themes on the doors and domes with pillars, shuttered windows, balconies and a glass room. Musicians, actors and dancers play to a 600-strong audience delivering powerful operatic and classical performances, making it a very popular theatrical attraction.

My husband and I did the French Quarter tour with Sarah. Sarah picked us up from the hotel and took us to the opera house by taxi. From there we walked around the French Quarter, I had a purple potato ice cream from the oldest ice cream makers and my husband had a coconut ice cream. We went past several grand old French built places and had a magnificent banh mi roll with omelette and char siu pork. After a little stroll we had some dry rice noodles with chicken and peanuts and a most delicious broth. A further walk took us through silver street and to a place where we had salted coffee. Sarah is very knowledgeable and just lovely, her English is excellent too. We had a great tour and really enjoyed all the delicious treats. Thanks, Sarah!

Great visit made the day we arrived. Discover both the Old Quarter Mood and the street food of Hanoi, which is part of the local lifestyle. We enjoyed it. Our guide, Dan, a real foodie, was very friendly and attentive. He even recommended other addresses for the rest of our trip to Vietnam.

Genevieve went above and beyond the tour. She gave more than a food tour! She gave also a little bit of history.
