Offered in: English

This experience goes beyond a typical street food tour. Instead of visiting touristy spots, you will explore hidden food gems in Hanoi’s Old Quarter where locals actually eat.

With a private local expert guide, you’ll discover authentic Vietnamese dishes, learn the stories behind Hanoi’s street food culture, and walk through small alleys filled with local life and flavors.

The experience also includes a unique visit to Hanoi’s famous Train Street, where you can relax with a traditional Vietnamese coffee just steps away from the railway tracks and watch the train pass by — one of the most unforgettable moments in the city.

Because this is a private tour, the pace is flexible and personal, allowing you to enjoy the food, culture, and atmosphere of Hanoi in a more authentic and relaxed way.
