HANOI WEEKEND WALKING TOUR

Picture this: It’s a Saturday afternoon, the sun is gentle, and the bustling streets of Hanoi beckon with their rich tapestry of sights and sounds. You’re not just a tourist here; you’re about to uncover the stories hidden in the corners of this ancient city. Our Hanoi Weekend Walking Tour isn’t just another stroll through the streets—it’s your chance to connect with the soul of Vietnam’s capital in a way that’s as unique as it is unforgettable.

From the moment you set foot on the cobblestones, you’ll find yourself enveloped in the history that echoes from the grand Presidential Palace and the wisdom that whispers from the Temple of Literature. Each step you take is a step back in time, guided by locals who don’t just know the city—they live and breathe it. Their passion for Hanoi is contagious, and by the time you reach the serene shores of Hoan Kiem Lake, you’ll find yourself under the spell of a city that has captivated hearts for centuries.

But what makes this tour different? It’s not just the destinations—it’s the journey itself. We limit our groups to just eight travelers, ensuring that your experience is as personal as it is profound. You’ll hear the untold stories, see the hidden corners, and experience Hanoi through the eyes of those who know it best. This isn’t a tour—it’s an immersion, a deep dive into the heart of a city that’s both ancient and ever-changing.

Are you ready to see Hanoi like never before? Don’t let this opportunity slip through your fingers. Join us this weekend and let the city’s mysteries unfold before your eyes. Book your spot today, and prepare to be captivated by the magic of Hanoi.

"The tour was so well crafted considering our preferences. Alex was extremely well informed about details of food and history. Every single lace he took us to was exceptionally good. He went above and beyond to help us plan the next day too. Will definitely recommend him to anyone looking for Hanoi tours. The food tour was a highlight of our trip."
