Hanoi Local Street Food Culture and History Tour

The guide will pick you up from your hotel or a designated meeting point located in the center of Hanoi's Old Quarter (only). Before the tour begins, you'll enjoy a quick Vietnamese greeting lesson. This tour's guides will also take time to discuss any food allergies to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Throughout the tour, they will share insights into Vietnamese cuisine as well as the history and culture of Vietnam, with a special focus on Hanoi.
