Highlights
  • Hanoi Street Food Tour - Welcome Happy Water Drink
  • Old Quarter - We will discover O Quan Chuong Gate & Taste some different street foods at different street foods’s Vendors
  • Dong Xuan Market - The forerunner of Dong Xuan Market was Bach Ma Market and Cau Dong Market - the two ancient markets of Thang Long Citadel. After the French authority ordered the abolition of all small markets to form a new large market in the purpose of facilitating the purchase and exchange of goods, Dong Xuan Market was born in 1889. Thanks to its riverside location - where boats operated busily all day and night, the market quickly became the biggest trade center in the capital.

In 1947, the market was heavily influenced by the fierce war of the Hanoi’s soldiers and people in the early days of the resistance war. Then, a big fire occurring in 1994 caused great damage in the market. Therefore, a year later, Dong Xuan Market was rebuilt with a total area of three floors of nearly 14,000 m2 with more than 2,000 stores.

  • Long Bien Bridge - Long Bien Bridge (Vietnamese: Cầu Long Biên), is about 2km from Hoan Kiem Lake, with a history of over 100 years, is not only a traffic construction but also a meaningful historical and symbolic witness to the resilience of Hanoi during the two greatest resistance wars against the French colonialists and American imperialism as well as the dramatic changes of this city in the new era.

Good tour, finishing in train street - Our tour today with Apple was amazing… we tried so many different things to eat that we would never have tried if we hadn’t have done the tour. We would definitely recommend doing this food tour, one piece of advice would be don’t eat before you go as you get more than enough food.
