DETAILED ITINERARY
INFORMATION TOUR
Stop 1: The Aromatic Awakening
Meet your expert foodie guide at your Old Quarter hotel. Begin your walking adventure by plunging into the vibrant streets, breathing in the aromatic scents wafting from endless street hawker stalls.
Your guide will introduce you to the rich history of Hanoi’s food culture and explain the delicate balance of fresh herbs and spices in Northern Vietnamese cuisine.
Stop 2: The Old Quarter Food Safari (10 Tastings)
Keep exploring the hidden alleys and bustling markets of the Old Quarter. We skip the tourist traps and take you directly to specialized food stalls and little family-run eateries.
The Taste: Watch authentic local chefs at work as you sample a curated menu of up to 10 delicious items. Enjoy sizzling local snacks, savory grilled meats, fresh spring rolls, and exotic seasonal fruits. (Vegetarian options are readily available upon request).
Stop 3: A Sweet & Scenic Finish
To add something sweet to the menu, we will try a beloved local dessert—fresh tropical fruit served in a cup with crushed ice and condensed milk.
Finally, navigate to a “tucked-away” corner café near the iconic Hoan Kiem Lake. Relax with amazing views while sipping on Hanoi’s famous Egg Coffee or a chilled local draft beer (Bia Hơi).
Conclusion: The food tour ends here with a full stomach and a happy heart. You can either continue exploring the nightlife on your own, or ask your guide for directions/a taxi back to your hotel.

Best food tour ever! We tried 7 different dishes in 3 hours. The Banh Mi and Nem Ran were highlights. Our guide made us feel like locals.
