[IMPORTANT NOTE] Start your tour at No. 1 Tống Duy Tân street to explore the Old Quarter's narrow alleys, enjoy local street food tastings including dry mixed Pho, Banh Mi, Nem, Banh Cuon, and experience Train Street with an egg coffee or drink. ... Start by meeting point at Old Quarter address: No. 1 Tống Duy Tân street. SIGHTSEEING OLD QUARTER at Hanoi city. Tour guide will take you walking through narrow alleys to discover HANOI (a thousand-year-old city) where you can see real local life with rich and poor people. You will also learn about local culture and the history of Hanoi. EAT with a lot of local delicious dishes like: 1. The first is noodle soup (PHO) which is Vietnam’s most famous dish. But this is a new, different version, which is dry mixed Pho with a special sauce. Try the chicken version and the refreshing taste will blow your mind! 2. Next is a local restaurant to try BANH MI - a signature baguette with a variety of fillings and an explosion of flavors. And definitely don't miss out on a dessert called Kem Xôi (sticky rice with ice cream). Dive into the sweetness of the ice cream, the sticky texture of the rice, and the crunch of the dry coconut. Passing overview (Not stop): BEER STREET (Tạ Hiện) - Hanoi Old Quarter. Beer Street Hanoi is a vibrant hub of food, drinks, and entertainment in the heart of Hanoi. Tourists and locals flock to this bustling street to immerse themselves in the electric nightlife scene and enjoy local and international cuisine. The unique experience offered by Tạ Hiện Beer Street is a must-try for anyone who wants to discover Hanoi travel in a colorful way (not a stop, but you can note it on your map to return if you love beer). 3. The NEM (Vietnamese fried spring roll) 4. The Bánh Đúc (hot rice powder soup) 5. The Bánh Cuốn (Vietnamese steamed rice rolled pancake) 6. Desserts - a sweet and creamy dessert soup or banana cake 7. After several dishes, you will be full and satisfied. Go straight to TRAIN STREET, where the railway passes through narrow alleys lined with houses on either side of the track. Although train schedules show them to come daily, sometimes they do and sometimes not, so if you're lucky, you may catch one and experience the huge train passing right in front of your face. While here, enjoy egg coffee or another drink like local beer, soft drink, juice, etc., at a nice shop trackside, experience the unique ambiance, and wait for the train to pass by. Tour ends here.
