  • Hoan Kiem Lake Walking Street (Pass By)

    This place is called the heart of Hanoi Old Quarter. Immerse yourself in the local atmosphere and culture as you pass through here.

  • Chua Tran Quoc

    Tran Quoc Pagoda, the oldest Buddhist temple in Hanoi, is located on a small islet in the middle of West Lake (Tay Ho District). With a history spanning over 1500 years, this ancient pagoda is not only a place of worship but also a testament to the rich cultural and religious heritage of Vietnam. You will access the pagoda through its main gate at No. 46, Thanh Nien Street, and enter a peaceful environment dedicated to Amitabha Buddha, Shakyamuni Buddha, and Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. Additionally, there is an altar honoring historical figures such as Guan Yu, Guan Ping, Zhou Shang, and Anathapindika. The serene setting on Golden Fish Island provides a peaceful atmosphere when you look to explore the historical and spiritual significance of Tran Quoc Pagoda.

    45 minutes

  • Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum

    Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum is one of the most significant landmarks in Vietnam, offering visitors an opportunity to deepen their understanding of the country's history. This site is often the first destination for travelers visiting Hanoi for its immense cultural and historical value. Even if the mausoleum is closed for visitation, you can still admire its impressive exterior and learn fascinating stories about Ho Chi Minh's life and legacy, making it a meaningful experience to add to your itinerary. Unfortunately, we cannot take you inside as you may have to wait in line for a long time during peak days, which will greatly affect the rest of your trip.

    15 minutes

  • N/A

    Discover the thrilling charm of Hanoi Train Street, where massive trains rumble through narrow alleyways, brushing past homes and shops at arm’s length. This iconic street is more than just a place to watch trains—it’s a window into the vibrant daily life of the locals who have adapted to the railway’s presence for decades. Grab a seat at one of the cozy cafes perched right beside the tracks, and feel the rush as the train glides by, turning a simple coffee break into an unforgettable experience. Dive into the rhythm of this living spectacle and capture a unique slice of Hanoi’s spirited urban culture!

    45 minutes

  • Temple of Literature & National University (Pass By)

    Temple of Literature, known as Vietnam's first national university, is an iconic symbol of Vietnamese culture and education. Established in the 11th century, it stands as a testament to the nation's long-standing reverence for learning and knowledge. This historical complex, nestled in the heart of Hanoi, offers visitors a serene escape from the bustling city streets. As you walk through its ancient courtyards, you’ll feel a profound connection to the generations of scholars who once studied here. Today, the temple remains a beloved site for students seeking success in their academic pursuits, while also offering travelers a glimpse into Vietnam's rich intellectual and cultural legacy.

  • Hoa Lo Prison

    Hoa Lo Prison, also infamously known as the "Hanoi Hilton," stands as a powerful testament to Vietnam’s turbulent history. Located at 1 Hoa Lo Street, Tran Hung Dao Ward, Hoan Kiem District in the heart of Hanoi, this former French colonial prison was originally built to detain political dissidents during the French occupation. Later, during the Vietnam War, it housed American prisoners of war. Today, the Hoa Lo Prison Relic provides visitors with an authentic glimpse into the harrowing conditions endured by its inmates, earning it the notorious reputation of being "hell on earth." Through evocative displays and haunting reconstructions, visitors can witness the dark past of this historic site and the unbreakable resilience of those who once lived within its walls. A visit to Hoa Lo Prison is an unforgettable journey through history, offering a somber reflection on the cost of war and the indomitable spirit of those who endured.

    30 minutes

Today, it serves as a premier venue for art and music, hosting a diverse range of performances that celebrate Vietnam’s vibrant cultural heritage.

    15 minutes

  • Long Bien Bridge

    Long Bien Bridge, an architectural marvel designed by Gustave Eiffel—the visionary behind the iconic Eiffel Tower—stands as a symbol of resilience and history in Hanoi. Spanning the mighty Red River, this historic bridge has witnessed over a century of change, from colonial times through to the modern era. Its rusted steel structure and intricate latticework are a testament to both engineering prowess and artistic beauty. A walk across Long Bien Bridge offers not only stunning views of the river and surrounding landscapes but also a deep sense of connection to the past, making it a must-visit destination for anyone looking to experience the soul of Vietnam.

    15 minutes

  • Dong Xuan Market

    Discover the excitement of Hanoi at Dong Xuan Market, the city's largest and most iconic indoor marketplace.

Great introduction to Ha Noi!

Published on Dec, 2024

Our guide Quyah (Sandy) was awesome. She was passionate and very knowledgeable about the history of the local area... from coffee to local architecture and beyond. Her logistics of organising taxis was seamless as the taxis seemed to be waiting at the end of every tourist site. Though small in stature, she was fearless in the traffic always putting herself between oncoming traffic and us. Felt totally at ease without constantly checking google maps! A truly wonderful experience... worth more than 5 stars!!

A Must

Street Food Walking Tour

Published on Oct, 2023

Huy was the perfect tour guide for our introduction to Vietnamese street food. His knowledge of the local cuisine and the Old Quarter is excellent. Huy made sure our dietary requirements were met. We were introduced to egg coffee as well as the local beer and sticky rice & coconut ice cream which were all very delicious. Huy made the evening very enjoyable due to his pleasant and personable nature. I highly recommend Ha Food Tours.

Delicious food with Chris, an amazing guide

Published on Jul, 2023

As a family of 4, we booked Ha Food Tours at fairly short notice having seen the great reviews on YouTube and TripAdvisor and weren't disappointed. Chris picked us up from our hotel on 4 July and took us on a superb walking tour around the food joints of Hanoi old town. Not only did we have some amazing authentic food from several family businesses but Chris was also informative and gave us a real understanding of the history of food in Vietnam. Thank you so much for giving us such a great start to our Vietnam trip. If you want a great introduction to Vietnamese food whilst in Hanoi, look no further than Ha Food Tours - thank you Chris.

Delicious & fun!

Published on Apr, 2023

Very excellent tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and engaging. Kenny had lots of recommendations for places to eat/visit beyond the few food places included in the tour. Worth every penny!
