There is a huge difference between the food here and the other cities in the world: you would know exactly the ingredients of the dish and the seller make it in front of you, it must be fresh and hot! That is the reason why we bring you to... 2. **Bach Ma Temple** (20m) - When you travel to Hanoi, you will see many local people burn fake money on the street; every shop always has a small altar in front of the door; temples and pagodas are everywhere. All of those things make you so confused about what they are doing or what the meaning of it... 3. **Our lovely guide will give you this delicious banh mi at the beginning of the...** (pass by, no stop) - Our lovely guide will give you this delicious banh mi at the beginning of the tour. 4. **Old Quarter** (pass by, no stop) - Travelling to Hanoi city – Vietnam capital, you may be surprised by Hanoi street food – it is plentiful at everywhere that you look and is an integral part of the livelihoods of many locals. With the balance between fresh herbs and meats and selective use of spices to reach a... 5. **"The rice paper roll I had here was the best I've had** (20m; admission included) - Super thin, silky smooth rice paper that wraps around the filling perfectly. I ordered the mushroom and pork filling and it was great. It is served with fried onions and a fish sauce, which adds more flavour and texture to this simple yet brilliant dish."- TripAdvisor review. 6. **Duờng Tau** (pass by, no stop) - Unique experience! 7. **Bia Hoi** (15m; admission included) - Best Bia Hoi in Hanoi With beer street full of tiger and Heineken, this is the place to go for that bia hoi experience. Empty glasses refilled immediately for only 11,000 VND and the most delicious pork ribs. Pull up on one of the little blue plastic stools, you won't regret it! 8. **Bun bo Nam Bo is marinating the beef, then comes making 'nuoc cham' and the p...** (25m; admission included) - Bun bo Nam Bo is marinating the beef, then comes making 'nuoc cham' and the pickled vegetables (shredded carrot and papaya). The pickled veggies is crispy, a little sour and a little sweet, which even makes me eat two bowls of the noodle at once. Remember to pickle the carrot... 9. **Best Bun Cha in town Great place and friendly people** (15m; admission included) - They make a really good Bun Cha. Serving is super quick and the meat is good. Can highly recommend coming here. 10. **Lake overlook** (20m; admission included) - This beautiful cafe might be a little hard to find, but once there it’s worth it. Order downstairs and make your way up the stairs. The first level is a gorgeous section overlooking the courtyard that feels as if you’re in another world. Head up more stairs, but skip level 3... ## Schedule - Runs: daily - Departures: 08:00, 08:30, 09:00, 09:30, 16:00, 16:30, 17:00, 17:30 - Schedule last checked: 2026-10-21 - These are published departures, not a live seat count; availability is confirmed at checkout. ## Cancellation For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. ## Meeting point Directions: Please meet your foodie tour guide in front of the war statue on the left side of the side of the main entrance.
