We were escorted on a walking tour throughout the old quarter, sampling food in the various restaurants as we went. The explanations by our guide were knowledgable and made a lot of the history of the place much clearer. We hugely enjoyed the tour and would recommend it to anyone, rather than driving around this area. Our guide Johnny answered... More

Try the egg coffee aka trung cafe. It's better than it sounds, but it reminded me of tiramisu! I also loved the pho ga or chicken soup. It entirely different than the traditional pho bo but it's somehow comforting even if it's hot and muggy outside.

The start is early - around 6am on a Sunday morning, however for $1 anything is worth trying. Guide is very helpful, telling us lots of little bits of info about life in Hanoi for the locals and speaks good English. We did about 5km walk through streets of the old quarter and then a lap around the lake. After... More

Eat all you like food tour. Really enjoyed. Our guide took us into many different eating establishments, all serving different things and all off the tourist trail. Wow, we ate some good food. Not quite sure what some of it was but would definitely do it again. It was us that called a halt as we could not eat anymore,... More

We began our tour at dusk and walked by Sword Lake on our way to the Old Quarter. We relied on Trang to get us through... More

They took use to a local restaurant were we had seafood cooked in a soup with fresh vegetables, on the table before us. The seafood was of very good quality and we really enjoyed the meal. We also had a bottle of local red wine... More

We recently went on the Sunday Morning breakfast tour with Mr Anh it was well worth getting out of bed that early on a Sunday morning to experience the awakening of Hanoi. Mr Anh is a true professional and has great insight into the workings of Hanoi both in terms of its culinary delights and its culture. He is a... More
