Additional Information

Hanoi boasts an impressive array of markets, however, the open-air night market is more akin to a social gathering rather than a retail expedition. You can still discover fantastic deals at this distinctive weekend market, extending from Hang Ngang to Hang Dao Street. Throughout the 3.5-hour tour, your guide provides an insight into the local way of life and Vietnamese roadside cuisine.

Hanoi Food - the local secrets shared!! - This is such a wonderful tour experience! Kira our guide for the evening shared so much on local customs and culture, and flexed the tour stops to our interests and tastes. Each food stop was better than the last with delicious local delicacies we would have missed out on if we had just walked by ourselves. This is a must do in Hà Nội… and ask for Kira, she’s the best!!!

Wonderful tour with awesome guide Long! - I had a great time on this tour! Long is a wonderful guide, the food was amazing and I really enjoyed the night market. Long texted me when he arrived at the hotel, reviewed the itinerary, and then we headed out. He explained a lot about the food, described the ingredients and at one stop showed me how to roll everything up into the rice paper. I bought a few souvenirs at the night market, and he bargained for me to get the best prices. As a solo traveler it was wonderful to have a guide so that I could make the best use of my time in Hanoi. It was really interesting talking with Long about living in Hanoi and family life in Vietnam and the US. On the way back to the hotel I wanted to pick up a couple of things and even though the tour had officially ended he helped me find what I needed.

Beware of blue light scam !!! - The Hanoi night market offers an excellent selection of street food and souvenirs at very reasonable prices. Travellers are advised to be cautious of the “blue light scam.” In our case, a taxi displaying a Grab sign was in fact a private operator. Upon reaching our hotel, the driver switched on a blue interior light, which distorted the appearance of currency notes, and attempted to substitute our VND 500,000 note with his VND 50,000 note, claiming he did not have sufficient change. The issue was resolved only after firmly challenging the driver and threatening to contact the police. ⚠️ Always verify the authenticity of ride-hailing vehicles and carefully check cash transactions. Beware of the “blue light scam” ‼️

Noisy, dirty, crowded - Very noisy, very crowded. The market is divided by a long driveway into two parts where rabid moped riders ride. We came specifically for fruit to take home, wandered the streets of the market for an hour and never found it. Just a slice or just a little bit and one kind of fruit sold. Lots of cafes, bars and street food. All the people are going to hang out at Knight Market this weekend.

Knickknacks - Hanoi nightmarket was like a city street in summer Sweden. Plastic, smoking snack bars, knickknacks, children playing, howling mopeds and trolling guests. I don’t know what I expected but you have to like shopping and crowds to appreciate this. Nothing for yours truly though:)
