Dive into the Heart (and Stomach) of Hanoi

We booked this tour directly through Crossing Vietnam Tour (having used them on another tour). Harley was professional in answering our questions and making our booking. Tour guide Justin met us at our hotel and took us to a series of local restaurants where we sampled various Hanoi dishes, starting with a Hanoi classic, Bún Chả (grilled pork with vermicelli rice noodles). Most dishes balance the meat with a range of fresh greens and garnishes, such as crushed peanuts. This is finished with a serve of exquisite coconut ice cream. The walking tour took us to French buildings and monuments to Vietnamese historical figures. We walked alongside Hoan Kiem Lake. Justin has a good knowledge of English and was able to respond to our many questions about Vietnam's history and cuisine.
