Perfect for first-time visitors - As a first-time visitor, I found this tour perfect. It gave me an overview of Vietnamese culture, with stories from history and chances to try local food like pho and banh mi. Our fantastic guide made sure all dietary requirements were respected, which I appreciated. Walking around Hoan Kiem Lake and seeing St. Joseph’s Cathedral made me fall in love with Hanoi

Incredible guide & local knowledge - What made this tour special was our fantastic guide, whose local knowledge brought each site to life. Ho Chi Minh complex and one pillar pagoda were moving to see and temple of literature was so peaceful. Lunch included egg coffee and banh mi, which were highlights for me. It’s not only about Hanoi attractions, but also a journey through the heart of city’s culture.

Culture, food and history in one package - I joined this tour on a Monday, so instead of citadel we visited ngoc son temple by hoan kiem lake, which was lovely. The day started with tran quoc pagoda and ended with a relaxing walk by the lake. Lunch had amazing food with banh mi, pho, and crispy summer rolls. Though not a full tasting tour, it gave us a chance to try authentic Vietnamese culture through food.

History, culture and food in Hanoi - I loved how this tour balanced history and food places. We saw tran quoc pagoda, Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, and Temple of Literature. These stops really showed the depth of Vietnamese culture. For lunch, we enjoyed pho and summer rolls, amazing food that made me glad I had come hungry. In the afternoon, Hoa Lo Prison was very moving, and ending at Hoan Kiem Lake was beautiful

A perfect Hanoi trip in one day - This tour was the highlight of my Hanoi trip. I visitd peaceful Tran Quoc pagoda on West Lake, solemn Ho Chi Minh complex, every stop offered a glimpse into Vietnamese culture. Lunch was delicious with amazing food, and even though it wasn’t a tasting tour, we still felt it was a treat. Our fantastic guide had so much local knowledge and made the whole day feel special. Visiting temple of literature and the Thang Long imperial citadel were true Hanoi attractions.

I really enjoyed this Hanoi tour - If you want to experience Hanoi like a local, this tour is the number one choice. We were taken to different places that are not only famous but also deeply rooted in Vietnamese culture, such as the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long. The street food tour was a true culinary adventure, where we tried all kinds of amazing food from hot pho to classic banh mi. Be sure to come hungry and get ready to explore Hanoi to the fullest!
