Hanoi’s Old Quarter has been a vibrant centre for business and shopping for centuries, and that uniquely Hanoi experience is still very much alive. An expert guide helps guests to sample it to the full for around an hour, by foot and three-wheeled cyclo. The journey takes them through the bustling Dong Xuan Market, and in and out of the quarter’s 36 streets that have age-old, eccentric but highly functional names, as they describe what is traditionally bought and sold there – names like Grilled Fish Street, Fish Sauce Street, Mats Street, and our favourite, Conical Hats Street.
Food and drink are of course an essential part of Hanoi’s charm, so the tour doesn’t miss the chance to enjoy some pho noodle soup and banh mi sandwiches, specialities that have become world famous, as well as the less familiar but every bit as delicious egg coffee.
The maximum number of pax that can join this tour at one time is 50 with availability all year-round.
