Old Quarter
We start our excellent street food walking tour at 78a Tran Nhat Duat Street at Kim Tours's Building in old quarter of Hanoi. Along the perimeter of the market, dozens of street hawkers sell a staggering variety of produce from live seafood to exotic fruits and spices. Your expert English-speaking local guide will give you an insight into the intricacies and traditions of Vietnamese food culture including details on ingredients and historical backgrounds of popular northern dishes. We eat as we go, trying seasonal fruits and sampling a tasty French-inspired snack from a street cart. Walking through the maze of bustling streets that make up Hanoi’s Old Quarter, we tempt our tastebuds with the famed Hanoi dish Banh Cuon at a local eatery. Watch in awe as the skilled chefs demonstrate for you how this tasty dish is put together. Continuing into the atmospheric heart of the Old Quarter, we wander past street stalls and quiet residential lanes where you can observe local life

Good tour good food and a good host.
Really enjoyed this tour. We had 7 stops at small local eateries having taste's of different Vietnamese food including local pancake, beef noodle soup, sweet donuts and egg coffee. It gave us the chance to visit the type of places we might not have visited on our own. The tour was well led by our host, Sarah who was friendly and knowledgeable. We had a couple of Europeans on the tour who were also good company which made for a pleasant evening. Plenty of good food and some interesting insights into Vietnamese life from Sarah.

Best day ever :)
My partner and I had the best day ever in Hanoi because of this tour. Our tour guide Summi took us to such awesome spots that we would not have known about and she explained so much to us about the wonderful history of Hanoi. We felt like locals for the day :) I will definitely be recommending this tour to friends and family who are wanting to visit Vietnam! Thanks again Summi, you were amazing!!!

An amazing day in Hanoi
My partner and I booked a private tour with Sunni. I am definitely not someone with experience on a scooter so I was somewhat apprehensive before beginning our tour… however wanted to explore all Hanoi had to offer. From the very first moment, Sunni made me me feel comfortable and at ease. I instantly felt safe travelling by scooter (in fact safer than walking as a pedestrian) not a detail was missed throughout the tour! Not only did we try amazing local street food which we would never of discovered alone however it felt as if we had a private sightseeing tour. It was honestly one of the most incredible experiences of my life. Such a highlight of our trip and it’s only been day 2! I highly recommend this your to anyone wanting to explore the city like a true local. Thank you so much Sunni and Tracey!!!

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hanoi Street Food + Night Life Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does Hanoi Street Food + Night Life Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $30 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hanoi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Hanoi Street Food + Night Life Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hanoi is not rushed.
Is Hanoi Street Food + Night Life Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 23 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hanoi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hanoi Street Food + Night Life Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Hanoi Street Food + Night Life Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hanoi Street Food + Night Life Tour?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hanoi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hanoi and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hanoi Street Food + Night Life Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hanoi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hanoi?
+
On Outty we rank every Hanoi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ha Giang Loop 3-Day Small Group - from Hanoi, (Group/Individual) HANOI STREET FOOD TOUR, Incense Village Quang Phu Cau, Hat Village and Hanoi City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hanoi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hanoi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Hanoi Street Food + Night Life Tour?
+
Included: Dinner. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Hanoi Street Food + Night Life Tour?
+
Please show up at our the meeting departure point located at 78a Trần Nhật Duật, Đồng Xuân, Hoàn Kiếm, Hà Nội at 19h20 a. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Hanoi Street Food + Night Life Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in German, English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Hanoi Street Food + Night Life Tour?
+

Is Hanoi Street Food + Night Life Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
