  • St. Joseph’s Cathedral - We will visit and take photo of St. Joseph’s Cathedral is a Catholic church on Nhà Chung Street, in the Hoàn Kiếm District of Hanoi, Vietnam. It is a late 19th-century Gothic Revival church that serves as the cathedral of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Hanoi. The cathedral is named after Joseph, the patron saint of Vietnam.

  • Ta Hien Street - Ta Hien street is also called the Beer street, This street is full of bars and restaurants and hundreds of people sit outside on the street in tiny plastic chairs and tables

  • Dong Xuan Market - Like Ben Thanh Market in Ho Chi Minh City or Dam Market in Da Nang, Dong Xuan Market has been a symbol and a pride of Hanoi people for many years. Nestled in downtown Hanoi, this is the largest wholesale market in the North with an area of 6,500 m2, as well as the gathering place of a multitude of business items to serve the life of the capital’s netizens and supply sources for traders.

  • Long Bien Bridge - Long Biên Bridge is a historic cantilever bridge across the Red River that connects two districts, Hoan Kiem and Long Bien of the city of Hanoi, Vietnam.

  • Train Street - Visiting Hanoi Train Street in Hanoi is one of the Best Things To Do to learn and explore Hanoi local life Rather than being a normal road with car or motorbike traffic, it has actual real railway lines running through it. Homes and businesses literally open out onto the railway lines. For the most part, the locals who live and move through there go about their day as with any other Hanoi street. Motorbikes zoom up and down the side of the railway lines. Local ladies cook delicious smelling foods, crouched over their seasoned cooking pots and surrounded by bundles of herbs and other fresh ingredients. Kids run around, crossing the tracks to each other’s houses. Animals snooze peacefully in the daytime sun.

Brilliant tour & guide - I had a wonderful morning with Harry! I saw things that I would never have seen without the knowledge & experience of a local guide. I felt safe & comfortable in Harry’s hands - he answered my many questions & was great company. Also appreciate being picked up & returned to my Hotel. Highly recommend the tour & Harry!

Great way to spend a first day in Hanoi - Such a knowledgeable tour with such a personable tour guide. Harry took us around and was able to answer all our questions as well as keep the conversation going while showing us all that Hanoi has to offer. Our only regret was not getting a picture with him.

Great value, great guide - Amazing tour. Our guide was lovely and very insightful, and we got to see parts of the city we may not have otherwise. It was also a great introduction to Hanoi traffic, to walk around with a local, as it can be a bit overwhelming at first!

Exactly what we wanted - Our guide, Ken, had so much local knowledge about Hanoi and Vietnam. My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our time with him and would recommend this tour. Ken was happy to adapt the itinerary to suit our requirements. The highlight was definitely Train Street and the egg coffee.

Good overview of the Old Quarter - It's great to have a guided tour of some type in Hanoi because there is so much you 'don't see' walking around on your own. It was great to see the different streets such as medicine street, cooking street, lock street etc. Our guide, Anna, was knowledgeable and friendly. Unfortunately our tour was cut short by illness.
