The Banh Beo here is a large, tender steamed rice cake wrapped in a fragrant banana leaf, filled with delicious minced pork and wood-ear mushrooms. It is served with a hot, savory bone broth dipping sauce. Starting your day with this warm, comforting dish will energize you for the exciting adventures ahead.
- An Bien Lake - Following the first stop, the city tour continues with a leisurely drive past the tranquil An Bien Lake. This picturesque location features a beautiful lake surrounded by lush greenery, providing a refreshing atmosphere. Next, the tour arrives at the historic Linh Quang Pagoda, an ancient temple offering a peaceful retreat from the bustling streets. Visitors can admire the stunning traditional architecture and experience a profound sense of tranquility. Spending time here is a wonderful way to connect with the local spiritual culture.
- Bánh Đa Cua Bà Cụ - After leaving the serene pagoda, it’s time to dive back into Haiphong’s street food. The tour offers a taste of the city’s signature dish: Banh Da Cua, or red crab noodle soup. This dish is a culinary masterpiece, featuring wide, chewy red noodles in a rich, sweet broth made from fresh field crabs. Topped with pork rolls, fish cakes, and fresh greens, it is incredibly satisfying. No city tour is complete without sampling this legendary local favorite!
- Hai Phong City Opera House - With a satisfied appetite, the city tour proceeds to the Haiphong Opera House. This magnificent building showcases stunning French colonial architecture and stands proudly in a spacious square where locals love to gather. Visitors have ample time to take photos and admire the beautiful yellow walls and tall white pillars. It serves as a brilliant reminder of the city’s rich history and is a highlight of the tour.
- Statue of General Le Chan - Next, the tour visits the impressive Statue of Female General Le Chan, the courageous founder of the city and a revered national hero. Standing before this giant bronze monument is a powerful experience. The tour shares fascinating historical stories about her bravery and leadership. This monument beautifully connects the past to the present, enriching the journey before exploring more of Haiphong’s street food.
- Cafe Cốt Dừa Cô Hằng - After visiting the statue of Female General Le Chan, a sweet and refreshing treat is in order. The tour offers a taste of the dessert side of Haiphong’s street food with sweet coconut soup, a rich and creamy dessert with soft jelly. Additionally, the famous local coconut coffee is served, blending strong, bold coffee with a thick, sweet coconut slush. Enjoying this icy treat at a lively local cafe is an absolute delight and a highly requested stop on the tour.
- Quay Bridge - Feeling refreshed, the tour moves to the next exciting landmark: the famous Swing Bridge, known locally as Cau Quay. This heavy iron bridge has a unique mechanical history, as it once rotated to allow large ships to pass through the busy river. Standing by the water, visitors can enjoy the cool river breeze and watch the peaceful flow. It is a fantastic spot for taking pictures and observing the changing colors of the afternoon sky.
- Trà Cúc Cô Lý - As the sun sets, the tour concludes with a final culinary surprise. Guests are introduced to a legendary combination of Haiphong’s street food: Banh Mi Cay, the famous spicy mini breadsticks. These crispy treats are filled with rich pate and topped with a fiery local chili sauce. They are paired with a cup of daisy tea, a fragrant and slightly bitter chrysanthemum tea. Enjoying this on a small sidewalk stool offers the most authentic experience of the city tour.

Haiphong tour: an experience to remember - We experienced the city, its architecture, and daily life up close. Riding by bike felt comfortable and safe thanks to our attentive rider, who cared for us throughout the trip. Our guide was patient and explained everything clearly, which made the journey memorable. We enjoyed authentic Vietnamese food—vegetarian options were thoughtfully arranged on request—and tasted Vietnam’s traditional tea and coffee. The market visit offered a vivid look into Hai Phong’s food culture.

Hai phong city tour - Had the absolute best time, I was the only person with my two tour guides and I couldn't have asked for more! They took me around the city and taught me about their history of their country, took me to many fantastic food places and showed me their culture, what they eat and how they eat, the food was amazing and the city sightings were amazing, they were extremely knowledgeable and friendly, would highly recommend to anyone, travelling solo was very scary for me and they made me feel safe

Best night in Vietnam - This was the best night I’ve had in Vietnam yet. The tour was interesting and so much fun. It felt like my family was hanging out with nephews. Riding through the streets of Hai Phong on the motorbike was a blast. If you are coming to Hai Fong, you have to do this food tour. And if you are not coming to Haiphong, you should so you can do this food tour. The food was great and really interesting. Can’t wait to come back next year and do it again. If I could give it more stars, I would.

A Perfect Blend of History and Incredible Food – Haiphong Adventure is a Must! - I booked a tour with Haiphong Adventure hoping to see a bit of the city, but I got so much more. This tour was the highlight of my trip to Northern Vietnam!
Haiphong is such a charming surprise. It feels like stepping back in time with its beautiful, ancient French colonial architecture and old tree-lined streets. It has a much more relaxed, authentic vibe compared to the chaos of Hanoi, and our guide was fantastic at explaining the fascinating history behind the buildings.
But the real star of the show was the food. Wow! I had heard Haiphong was a food hub, but I wasn't prepared for how good it actually is. Our guide took us through narrow alleys to hidden local spots that I never would have found on my own. We tried everything from the famous spicy breadsticks (Banh Mi Cay) to fresh seafood dishes that blew my mind.
Haiphong Adventure did an amazing job of connecting the city's history with its culinary culture. If you want to see the real Haiphong and eat the best food of your life, book this tour.

Fun, Food, and Fantastic Guides in Hai Phong - The team from Haiphong Adventure truly made our day special. They were professional yet so easygoing, always smiling and ready to help. We cruised through the walking street, sampled banh da cua, and chatted about daily life in the city. The highlight was a seafood lunch near Do Son beach — fresh, simple, and delicious. Every moment was captured beautifully by our guide, who doubled as a great photographer.
