Your guide will meet you directly at your hotel in Hanoi’s Old Quarter. From the comfort of a private vehicle, you’ll receive a brief overview of the day’s flexible itinerary, which can be tailored to your preferences.
Begin your journey at Tran Quoc Pagoda, Hanoi’s oldest Buddhist temple, nestled on the tranquil shores of West Lake. This peaceful refuge provides the perfect start to your tour, allowing you to learn about the city’s spiritual roots and enjoy a moment of serenity away from the urban rush.
While a full stop isn’t part of this half-day tour, you will drive past the monumental Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum. Your guide will share captivating stories about this revered landmark, offering a deeper understanding of Vietnam’s history from the comfort of your car.
Next, we’ll head to one of Hanoi’s most iconic and adrenaline-pumping locations: Train Street. Here, a vibrant community has sprung up just inches from the active railway tracks. You’ll have time to enjoy a Vietnamese coffee or coconut juice at a local cafe while waiting for the train to rumble past. It’s an unforgettable blend of culture, adrenaline, and local life.
Your journey continues to St. Joseph’s Cathedral, a striking neo-Gothic church that stands as a powerful symbol of the city’s French colonial past. Take a moment to admire its grand architecture, or step inside if the doors are open to enjoy a moment of quiet reflection amidst its beautiful stained glass windows.
Now, it’s time to eat. On this private tour, your guide will lead you on a street food adventure, taking you to local markets and hidden stalls to taste the dishes that define Hanoi’s culinary soul. You’ll indulge in classics like:
Phở – the iconic noodle soup
Bún chả – grilled pork with vermicelli
Bánh mì – the perfect Vietnamese sandwich
And many more surprises!
