Hanoi Train Street is a small street completely separated from the noisy city with a row of small, simple old houses combined with the echoing sound of trains, which is a special feature that attracts tourists. Although only about 2km long, this Hanoi Train Street has become a unique tourist destination with the ancient, rustic and simple beauty of Hanoi with cafes and food stalls on both sides and the train tracks in the middle... Since its first appearance in the British newspaper Daily Mail in April 2014, Train Street has become a tourist destination that foreigners cannot miss when coming to Vietnam…

Food Frezy Hanoi

Hana was cheerful and delightful, taking us to the history of Hanoi throughout the trip. Her English was good and she took the trouble to understand our requirements before taking us around, modifying the journey suited to our requirements. Excellent guide overall

Great Experience!

This tour was real fun, the tour guide is very knowledgeable with the City's history and stuff. We actually learned a lot from him. He's very friendly and talks English well. This is beyond what I've expected. Highly recommended to tourists who speaks English only. 😊
