So many different places in a day - I couldn’t believe how many different places we covered. From the calm beauty of West Lake to the history of Hoa Lo Prison, each stop added to my understanding of Vietnamese culture. The Temple of Literature was stunning, and lunch offered amazing food including pho and summer rolls. This tour really helped me explore Hanoi in just one day.

A guide who made Hanoi shine - Our fantastic guide was full of local knowledge, explaining stories behind each stop. One Pillar Pagoda was one of my favorite Hanoi attractions, small but symbolic. At lunch, we tried banh mi and fresh egg coffee, perfect for a quick recharge. This wasn’t exactly a street food tour, but the food places included in the program gave us an authentic taste. It’s one of the best things to do in Hanoi if you want both culture and cuisine.

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.

Hanoi: So many great stories - We had a truly special date with this tour. It started with a visit to the Temple of Literature, followed by a romantic street food tour through the Old Quarter. Every single one of the food places we visited brought a delightful surprise. The egg coffee was a sweet ending to this feast for the senses. Our guide had fantastic local knowledge, helping us understand more about Vietnamese culture through each dish.

A memorable day in Hanoi - This tour helped me explore Hanoi more deeply than I ever imagined. We didn't just visit well-known hanoi attractions like St. Joseph's Cathedral but also discovered many lesser-known, different places. The tasting tour was truly eye-opening, with street foods I would have never found on my own. I highly recommend you come hungry because there's so much deliciousness to try!

Great weather made the tour better - I often worry about finding good food when traveling, but this tour took care of everything! I felt at ease from the start because they asked about my dietary requirement. The street food tour was incredibly professional, leading me to delicious, must-try food places in the Old Quarter. I had some incredible banh mi and so much other amazing food. Our fantastic guide also shared fascinating stories about Vietnamese culture, making my trip even more meaningful.
