Description

Want to see Hanoi beyond the usual tourist checklist?

Join two young Vietnamese locals for a relaxed walk through the heart of Hanoi. We’ll start around Hoan Kiem Lake, then explore the Old Quarter through busy streets, quieter alleys, local food spots and everyday places most visitors walk past.

Along the way, we’ll share stories about Hanoi’s history, local culture and what daily life is really like here. You can ask us anything about Vietnam, from food and traditions to student life and modern Hanoi.

We’ll also introduce you to some local street food and drinks. Trying food is optional, and you only pay for what you choose.

This tour is not meant to feel like a lecture. Think of it more like exploring Hanoi with local friends who want to show you the city from a local point of view.

Come walk, talk, eat and discover a more personal side of Hanoi with us.

Hanoi Free Walking Tour – Old Quarter & City Highlights

The tour was really nice and gave us a great insight into Hanoi. The pick-up went smoothly, and there was always something to talk about. We learned a lot about the history of the city. Our guides also always made sure we crossed the streets safely. We could also choose what we wanted to do during the tour, for example, stop for food or visit a shop. It was especially nice to explore the city with locals and learn about their culture. At the end, we all went for a Vietnamese beer together. ???? We really enjoyed the experience!
