A day in sequence
Pick-up & safety briefing
We begin our journey by picking you up from your hotel located in and around Hanoi Old Quarter. Our guide and driver greet you at your hotel lobby or a meeting point and give you a safety briefing before we begin the adventure.
The real Hanoi
On the first part we expose you to the REAL HANOI and give you a day-in-the-life experience of the city. We take you through parts of the city that other travel companies don't usually venture into — maze-like backstreets, tiny alleyways, local homes, schools, random markets and black marketplaces — so you experience where and how locals live, work and play. We show you not just the good side, but also the bad and weird sides, because the popular tourist sites are just the tip of the iceberg.
Must-see Hanoi
The second part passes by the must-see places of Hanoi, including the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, the Tran Quoc Buddhist temple, the amazing Hanoi Train Street, the enchanting French Quarter, the hustling and bustling Old Quarter, the romantic lakes of Hoan Kiem and West Lake, the Hanoi Opera House and the famous Long Bien Bridge.
Food finale
Finally, our tour ends with food. We take you to a Hidden Gem Cafe to savour the tastiest, authentic, healthy and organic dishes of Hanoi, with vegan and vegetarian options available.
