Description

We are Sofia and George, the two locals who grew up in Hanoi for most of our lives and have a deep love for this special city. Our goal is to share with everyone the vibrant life, interesting stories, and hidden gems of Hanoi from a local perspective.

What to expect:
Hanoi is blended by ancient roots, French colonial influence, and a rapid economic boom in the late 80s. This walking tour offers you to see the differences between the adjacent, neatly street in the French Quarter and the unorganized and narrow streets in the Old Quarter. We begin our journey by seeing French colonial sites like the State Bank of Vietnam, Tonkin Palace, and Opera House.

We then continue to Hoan Kiem Lake to hear a legendary story and what makes it a special one. Then we are heading up towards the old quarter, exploring the busy street, to learn what makes it so special among the locals and tourists. At the end of the tour, we stop at Long Bien Bridge, the most iconic one of Hanoi, which has stood there for more than 120 years.

Hanoi Free Tour: Old Quarter & French Quarter

Amazing tour. Nguyen was generous and very interesting. I highly recommand.

Hidden Gems of Hanoi with Nguyen D.

Nguyen was honestly the best guide ever — super chill, patient, and his English is spot‑on. He knows Hanoi like the back of his hand, from the history to the hidden gems and all the food spots you’d never find on your own. We tried Bánh Đa Cua (red noodles with crab paste), a crispy bánh rán (Vietnamese donut), Bánh cuốn (rice flour roll) and of course Trang Tien Ice Cream — the rice flake flavor is ????. He even took me to this secret bookstore that legit felt like walking into Harry Potter. If you’re in Hanoi and want good vibes, cool stories, and real local food, this tour is a total must.

Great free tour with Nguyen

Easy contact with Nguyen as soon as we booked the tour. The meeting point was easy to find. Nguyen made us feel at ease from the beginning to ask anything about every kind of topics. We had great conversation all while he explained some historic and cultural aspects of the city. He has great knowledge and he knows how to share his passion for his city. Thank you again for the lovely time, Nguyen. We strongly recommend you to book any tour with him.
