Your adventure begins as your knowledgeable guide greets you in your hotel lobby. From there, you’ll embark on a captivating walking tour through the Old Quarter’s famed ’36 streets’. This journey will lead you to discover hidden culinary treasures at renowned food stalls and local eateries. You’ll have the opportunity to witness the artful preparation of traditional dishes and indulge in tasting these local specialties.

Navigating Hanoi’s maze-like alleys and sidewalks can be challenging for visitors, which is why exploring with a local guide is invaluable. This tour offers more than just food; it’s an immersive experience of Vietnamese cuisine, culture, people, and language. You’ll sample authentic Hanoi fare in hygienic conditions and comfortable settings. Moreover, your participation directly supports local vendors, restaurants, and families through your food purchases.

The culinary portion of your tour culminates in a unique cultural experience – a Water Puppet show. This distinctive Vietnamese art form, dating back to the 11th century, offers a fresh take on ancient Asian puppet traditions. Skilled puppeteers use submerged rods to manipulate wooden puppets, creating the illusion of figures dancing on water as they narrate folk tales. This entertaining spectacle is suitable for all ages.

As your Hanoi tour concludes, you have the freedom to continue exploring the area independently. Alternatively, your guide can assist you with directions or arrange a taxi back to your hotel.
