Itinerary
Pick-up & Drop-off from your hotels in and around Hanoi Old Quarter. Otherwise we will pick you up from our Meeting Point: Hidden Gem Coffee No. 3B Hang tre Street, Hoan Kiem, Hanoi ( 15 minutes before the tours start )
Pass by: Our focus is NOT entirely on the tourist attractions. On this tour, we don’t go INSIDE the attractions, but instead, we will take you to the HIDDEN GEMS and HARD-TO-FIND places that expose the REAL Saigon We spend our time taking you off the beaten path and to the less frequently visited sites, showcasing the authentic Saigon that you can not discover on your own.
We'll spend about 20 minutes stopping to admire the iconic architecture of Hanoi, including the historic Long Bien Bridge and the stunning views over the Red River. This will give us a chance to enjoy the spectacular sights from the bridge and capture some beautiful travel photographs. The Long Bien Bridge is an impressive feat of engineering, offering panoramic views of the Red River and the Hanoi cityscape. We'll have time to take in the elegant French colonial design of the bridge as well as the lively activity on the river below. This will be an opportunity to get some great photos to commemorate our visit. After taking in the views from the bridge, we can continue exploring the rest of Hanoi's architectural treasures. This brief stop will allow us to appreciate one of the city's most iconic landmarks up close.
Pass by: Riding past the serene Hoan Kiem Lake and the lively Old Quarter, one can immerse themselves in the vibrant, lyrical atmosphere of Hanoi. The city exudes a captivating blend of chaos and poetry, inviting visitors to soak in its unique energy and charm. From the lake's tranquil reflections to the bustling streets, Hanoi offers a sensory experience that seamlessly melds the historic and the contemporary.
Visiting the famous Train Street in Hanoi and enjoying a coffee while waiting for the train to pass through the narrow street is a highlight of our tour. We know exactly when, where, and how to take you to the Train Street cafe to help you experience this unique and unforgettable moment. Our knowledgeable guides will ensure you are at the right place at the right time to witness this captivating spectacle up close. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to immerse yourself in the local culture and see the daily life of Hanoi unfold before your eyes as the train navigates the tight confines of the historic street.
Tasting a delicious Hanoi Egg Coffee at the biggest recycling Cafe in Vietnam. The cafe is located in the heart of Hanoi Old Quarter. It is a green oasis and address. I am admiring the beautiful artwork and furniture. They are creatively made from discarded materials.

Good day out
Really good day out Our tour guide Mason was awesome, made our visit more pleasant Well done guys Definitely worth it 👌 👌
Beautifully immersive tour
Our family of 5 thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Hanoi. Our tour guide Finn was very friendly and guided us very well throughout the tour. We found Finn’s commentary to be so interesting and she answered all of our questions so nicely. Some highlights for us were seeing the local neighbourhood and hearing about the local culture, and of course the grand finale of train street. Finn made sure that we got maximum enjoyment and we left on a high. Also, our driver Minh was amazing through the streets of Hanoi!
Must do tour!
This was a fantastic tour. We (party of 5 with 2 teens) booked this the evening we arrived in Hanoi and it was a great way to see the area before we started our holiday. Anni was AMAZING!!! She was so knowledgeable and provided so much history in an interesting fun way (the teens of our group were even engaged the whole time!) The train street location wasn’t too busy and got first row views! The driver (Mr TA) was phenomenal and incredible to navigate the small streets but felt super safe and relaxing (if you can believe). Anni provided history, humour, knowledge and suggestions of places to visit. Def worth it and def would recommend!
Good value for money!
Oggy was an excellent guide! Funny and informative.
