What you can expect

Explore Hanoi through its highlights, hidden corners, and untold stories — with the flexibility to choose the experience that suits you best.

This tour is designed for travellers who want more than just sightseeing. Whether you prefer a social small-group experience or a fully personalised private tour, you’ll discover the culture, history, and daily life of Hanoi through the eyes of a local.

✨Choose your experience

  1. Small-Group Tour
    Perfect if you enjoy meeting other travellers while keeping things personal. With limited group size, you’ll still have plenty of interaction with your guide, while sharing the experience with like-minded explorers.

  2. Private Tour
    Ideal for couples, families, or anyone who wants a more flexible and tailored experience. Go at your own pace, ask more questions, and customise parts of the route to match your interests. The itinerary can be adjusted in the private option to match your interests and pace.

✨What you’ll experience

We begin around Hoan Kiem Lake, the heart of Hanoi, where you’ll hear the legend behind the lake and how it shaped Vietnamese identity.

From there, we walk through the Old Quarter, exploring both iconic landmarks and hidden alleys that most visitors miss. You’ll stop by St. Joseph’s Cathedral and discover the contrasts between old and new Hanoi.

At the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum complex, gain a deeper understanding of modern Vietnamese history and the life of Ho Chi Minh - not just facts, but the stories behind them.

We continue to Hoa Lo Prison, where powerful stories from the past reveal Vietnam’s resilience and complexity.

The experience ends at the famous Hanoi Train Street, where you can relax with a drink while watching the train pass just inches away - one of the most unforgettable moments in the city.
