Itinerary

1. Enjoy the Hanoi Food Tour

   • Meet the tour guide and start your day tour covering 8 destinations on this Hanoi tour.
   • Visit The Temple of the West Lake ( Phủ Tây Hồ ): As the name suggests, it is quietly laid next to the West Lake. Here is worshipped, Princess Lieu Hanh. As per the myth, she was the daughter of the Heaven Emperor. The gradation of emerald water, weeping willow leaves, and the touch of tranquillity bring passengers breezing calmness and joy. Later, go for a food tasting that is made with all the local ingredients- Rice noodles with Snail and Shrimp Pancake.
   • Get ready to save your footprints on one of the most beautiful promenades in Hanoi. If you are lucky, you will be photographed with fresh lotus flowers - the symbol flower of the country.
   • Head to the North Gate to the Wall-Painting Street and the Railway Street: Leave West Lake, and the tour guide will escort you to the most beautiful road of Hanoi - Phan Dinh Phung. Following is our visit to the relic site of Cua Bac (The North Gate). And as a fast-forward video, the wall painting street will show you a long history of ups and downs but also very heroic of Hanoi before and now. Rest with a glass of juice, tea, or coffee and fruits on one of the most special streets not only in Hanoi but also in the world: Railway Street. (Fruits and Juice are seasonal.)
   • Explore the Đồng Xuân Market and the Thanh Hà Market: About Vietnamese cuisine, we can't leave how the women go to the market and carefully collect ingredients for the meals of Vietnamese families. Let's follow our tradition by exploring Dong Xuan Market and Thanh Hà Market. (Sweetened dried-apricot Bread.)
   • Learn about the 5 gateways: "Ở đâu năm cửa ô chàng ơi Sông Nhị Hà mấy khúc nước chảy xuôi một dòng" “Ca Dao Xưa” The just-mentioned folk lets us know about the 5 gateways of the old capital: Ô Cầu Giấy- Ô Cầu Dền – Ô Đống Mác – Ô Chợ Dừa và Ô Quan Chưởng. However, now there is only Ô Quan Chưởng left withstanding the test of time, and it bears the historic traits of the old citadel. (Seafood Noodles Soup Sugar/Honey Donuts Beer.)
   • See the Opera House of Hanoi: After being colonized for more than a hundred years by the French, the city witnessed the effect of Neo-Classical architecture, mainly demonstrated in the building located in Hoan Kiem District. Even though Hanoi now wears the coat of a lively city, our old proud capital still keeps some of the graceful and sacred marks that have been lasting and acts as a resemblance that reminds all Hanoians of grief –but-courageous history. (Trang Tien Ice - cream.)
   • Take a break and enjoy Egg-Coffee, which is not a really- traditional drink but shows the flexibility of Vietnamese in adapting to the use of foreign ingredients for local tastes. Traditional must start a point, must it not? (Egg Coffee)
   • End the tour.
