Detail Itinerary

Part 1: Hidden Hanoi Backstreets

Slip into the narrow alleys where daily life unfolds. From bustling local markets to tucked-away railway cafés, you’ll witness Hanoi’s soul beyond the tourist maps. Enjoy a cup of traditional coffee while trains pass just a few feet away — a moment you’ll never forget.

Part 2: French Quarter & Old Quarter

Cruise through the French Colonial Quarter with its wide boulevards and grand architecture, then dive into the buzzing Old Quarter where history and modern life collide. On the way, you’ll pass iconic landmarks such as Ho Chi Minh Complex, Temple of Literature, Tran Quoc Pagoda, Hoan Kiem Lake, and Hanoi Opera House.

Part 3: The sandbank of the Red River

Cross the historic Long Bien Bridge into a world far removed from the city’s chaos. Explore lush banana plantations, vegetable gardens, and flower farms. Here, you’ll see families living in simple conditions without electricity or running water — a powerful contrast to modern Hanoi.

Part 4: Food Experience

The journey isn’t complete without tasting Hanoi’s soul through its food. Savor local dishes handpicked by our team — from rice noodles and rice cakes to seasonal fruits and the iconic Hanoi egg coffee. Come hungry; you’ll leave full and delighted.
