Reasons Our Hidden Hanoi Old Quarter Tour is Unique

Our tour is led by young, local guides who are passionate about the history and culture of Hanoi’s Old Quarter.

They will share with you the hidden gems, stories, and legends of this vibrant city. You’ll gain insight into the culture and history of the area, and learn about the unique stories and legends that make Hanoi so special.

We will discover the “good” and the “bad” sides of Hanoi Old Quarter

We visited the highest rooftop bar in the Old Quarter to watch the overview of the city. Our tour also included a visit to a local Vietnamese art cafe, which was once where the local artists met back in the 1990s. Then, we visited the local doughnut shop run by an old lady. And we explored the smallest and longest alley in the Old Town, learning about the real life of local people. You would be surprised at how they can live in such a tiny space in the city centre!

Be curious during the tour

We usually get together in a small group of 4-6 people. This helps create an open environment for discussing and asking questions. Our host is always happy to answer any questions you have. So don’t be shy – reach out and ask away! Everyone is welcome to join in the conversation and share their ideas. We’re excited to talk with you all!

The experience is hosted by Young Vietnamese locals

Our hosts are passionate, young Vietnamese locals, providing an authentic and unique experience. We are eager to share our stories with the world, so that you will leave with a greater understanding of the vibrant country and its people.

Hanoi Will Leave a Lasting Impression!

At the end of the tour, you will have a newfound appreciation for the beautiful city of Hanoi, a city that hides beneath the surface of the bustling metropolis. From the history, to the culture, to the architecture, Hanoi is a city with an abundance of treasures that will be revealed to you as you explore. You will discover the city’s unique charm and walk away with a greater understanding of the city’s unique character. It will be an unforgettable experience that you will cherish for years to come.

      @Jac: Hi Jac,
      Thanks for your question!

      We’re excited to host you.

    Hello,
    We are interested in booking one of your experiences before we leave Hanoi. Is it possible to schedule the experience for 1 PM instead of 2 PM? We need to be at the airport by 7 PM.
    Thank you.

    • KienPham –

      Thanks for reaching out, Kingston!
      We recommend joining the experience at 9 AM. If you prefer to join us at 1 PM, please book the tour as a private one. The private tour is priced 20% higher than the “group” tour, but it offers more space for questions. Also, having the tour in the morning will give you more time to rest, have some food and get ready for the flight!
      We are excited to see you soon!
      Best,

  3. Kate –

    Hello, I’ve heard that dress code in Vietnam can be difficult. What kind of clothing would you recommend?

    • KienPham –

      Dear Kate,
      Thank you for reaching out!

      Regarding the dress code, it is important to be mindful when entering religious sites such as temples, pagodas, and churches. However, when joining our tour, you only need to wear comfortable clothes and shoes.

      We look forward to seeing you soon.

    Hi team!

    We are interested in the 6pm tour tonight starting from the sky bar. Do you have lots of availability? We are going on a tour at 10am this morning that is all day in Hanoi. I’d like to book it now but I see it is non-refundable, and I would want to make sure we make it back from our day tour in time. What would happen if we couldn’t be there right at 6pm? I’m sure we could be but traffic here has proven hectic! Our tour today ends at the opera house and then we’d have to go to a hotel to get rid of our luggage since your tour is a walking tour, so thought I’d ask first how much available you have tonight so we know if we have a good chance if we book it later today once we gauge how long we will be today, please advice thank you. Also I do not have access to messenger unless I’m near Wi-Fi. I should have Wi-Fi for the next 15 mins though.

    Thank you.
