Hanoi Old Quarter Alleyway Food Tour - Watch the Train at Train Street

Walk the Alleys of Hanoi's Old Quarter
and Taste Local Street Food

Meet a local English-speaking guide at the meeting point on Tong Duy Tan Street in the Old Quarter and spend 3-4 hours walking the alleys, tasting street food at family-run eateries. Food tastings, bottled water and a drink at Train Street are included.

Choose from a walking tour or night walking tour from the meeting point, a private walking tour with hotel pickup, or a private tour riding on the back of a motorbike.

Discover Everyday Hanoi Life in Narrow Alleys

Follow your guide into the narrow alleys of the Old Quarter to see thousand-year-old Hanoi and real local life with passing cyclos up close, while learning about Hanoi's culture and history. You will also pass by Ta Hien Beer Street, famous for its nightlife.

Taste a Variety of Dishes from Pho to Dessert

Start with dry mixed chicken pho with a special sauce, then try banh mi at a local eatery and kem xoi (sticky rice with ice cream). Continue with nem (fried spring rolls), banh duc (hot rice flour soup), banh cuon (steamed rice rolls) and a sweet dessert soup or banana cake.

Wait for the Train with a Drink at Train Street

Finally, head to Train Street, where the railway runs through a narrow alley. Enjoy egg coffee, local beer, a soft drink or juice at a shop beside the tracks while waiting for the train, and watch it pass right in front of you when it comes. The tour ends here.

※ Dishes may change depending on restaurant availability, weather and time, but 5-6 tastings and 1 drink are always included.
※ The train may not run depending on the schedule.
