The 10 Best Walking Tours in Hanoi, Vietnam

October 21, 2021 Florencio Paulino

The charming Vietnamese capital has aged well, preserving the Old Quarter, monuments and colonial architecture, while making room for modern developments alongside. Hanoi may have shrugged off several former names, including Thang Long, or "ascending dragon," but it hasn't forgotten its past, as sites such as Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum and Hoa Lo Prison attest. Lakes, parks, shady boulevards and more than 600 temples and pagodas add to the appeal of this city, which is easily explored by taxi.

The staff was very accommodating to our large group, and the scenery was spectacular. We traveled with a vegetarian, and multiple people who were wanting other options besides seafood, and the Genesis Regal delivered! Highly recommend this experience!

Taking this tour is a fun way to experience the sights, smells and tastes of Hanoi. And definitely, the best way to see and learn about the real Hanoi not just the run-off-the-mill tourist sites. We would journey you to so many parts of Hanoi that you would not otherwise see and even imagine about, from the maze of zigzagging backstreets, hectic traffic, old French boulevards to the off-roads along the Red river as well as t asting the most delicious dishes of the delicious dishes that Hanoi offers you.

My girlfriend and I had a great tour with Tommy last week when we visited Hanoi. Tommy was such a friendly, professional and knowledgeable tour guide. Despite the cold weather, it was super awesome being able to drive around the streets of Hanoi in an original soviet era Jeep and get to experience the culture, historical sites and food of Hanoi. I would definitely recommend booking a tour with Hanoi Backstreet Tours. P. S. The egg coffee you get to try is absolutely delicious!!!

Discovering Hanoi’s Old Quarter street foods can be a leap of faith without a guide to steer you to the must-eats and prevent you getting lost. With this small-group tour, you’ll visit tried-and-trusted food spots to sample classics, such as steamed pancakes, noodle soup, and more, all with a guide to describe each dish and help you navigate. The tour starts in the  Old Quarter, we also might visit  Lake of the Restored Sword (Hoan Kiem Lake), Dong Xuan Market e.g.

Definitely our favorite tour in Hanoi! It's a must! Rosie was our tour guide and she was beyond amazing. She made us feel super comfortable from beginning to end. She exceeded our expectations by not only letting us try different foods and showing us how to properly eat dishes but explaining alot about the Vietnamese culture. We actually wish we had done this tour when we first got to Hanoi because it answered a lot of our questions that we had. We basically learned more from Rosie than doing research before we came to Hanoi. If you have the chance to take a private walking food tour while in Hanoi, please do it. Request Rosie because you won't regret it.

I did the old quarter tour with Ms Annie who is super nice and can speak excellent English. She is very kind to take me to lots of places like the Hoan Kiem Lake, Ngoc Son Temple, Long Bien Bridge, Hoa Lo Prison and Train Street. She's very caring and protect me always when we cross to road which is difficult for foreigners; We have a great time together and i know more about Hanoi. Thank you so much Annie :)
