Itinerary
Located in Hanoi's Old Quarter area, Ma May Street is unique as it is home to many of the city’s oldest houses. The house at No.87 Ma May Street (Hoan Kiem District) is one of 14 ancient houses in Hanoi built in the late 19th century that still retains its original features and becomes a familiar address for those who want to learn about the daily life of Hanoians in the old time.
we will just pass by Ho Chi Minh Complex, stop in front of the Mausoleum to take photos for 5-10 minutes then continue the tour.
Tran Quoc Pagoda is more than 1500 years old, which means the place holds such an important role in the development of Vietnam in general and Hanoi in particular. That is the main reason why the temple attracts thousands of visitors from all over the world every year.
Hanoi train street used to be one of the most renowned tourist destinations in the capital. It is a tiny, winding street tucked away in one of Hanoi’s back streets, surrounded by tightly clustered, tall, narrow houses. The train travels by the backyards of these families a couple times each day. We will enjoy a cup of coffee while waiting for the train to pass tthrough.
Located in the center of the capital of Vietnam, well-known as one of the most inhumane prisons with terrified punishment, Hoa Lo Prison, aka Maison Centrale, is a symbol of strong will of prisoners and their sacrifice for their communist ideals.

Traveler reviews
Great paced tour led by Oliver through the key sites in Hanoi
We really enjoyed this tour. Oliver was bright enjoyable friendly guide. He made the tour informative and interesting. Our driver was attentive and quickly reappeared as we finished each site to take us to the next destination. We particularly enjoyed the delicious egg coffee in train street, the pagoda and prison visits. Highly recommend
Hanoi food and Train St
Terrific tour. Lots of delicious food and interesting facts about Vietnam - Hanoi in particular. Quinn was friendly, knowledgeable and a wonderful guide. 100% recommend this tour!
Iconic Train Street and Walking Food Tour
Make sure you are hungry before this tour - you will eat and experience so much food. Our tour guide Sara criss crossed the Old Quarter of Hanoi with ease, navigating what felt like a million scooters!! We sampled many types of traditional Vietnamese food, all different but equally delicious. We also learned many interesting facts, one of which was if it’s cooked in the street by an angry looking woman, possible with some child labour, then the food will be good 😂 The tour culminated with the historic Train Street - an experience not to be missed if visiting Hanoi. All in all, a very enjoyable experience.
Food tour
Way fun and especially nutritious activity. Don't overeat beforehand. Happy guide, Sara. There's no more to say about it than it was very tasty
Great tour of top Hanoi sights
Had an amazing tour - thanks to our knowledgeable guide Pilko. Visited multiple sites including prison but our highlight was train street.
