What you'll see and do

  1. Old Quarter

    There’s an old Vietnamese saying, “Hanoi has thirty-six streets and guilds – Jam Street, Sugar Street, Salt Street…”. Inside a modern and dynamic city, there appears an antique quarter, the Hanoi’s Old Quarter – the represented eternal soul of the city. These days, most Vietnamese and Westerners are familiar with the phrase “Hà Nội Ba mươi sáu phố phường” (translated as “Ha Noi 36 districts” or “Hanoi – 36 Old Streets”), or “Phố cổ Hà Nội” (translated as “Hanoi’s Old Quarter”), the top special historical vestige and sight-seeing of the capital, luring international visitors thanks to their mostly original state.

Recommend it to start your culinairy journey

Good experience to get to know the foods of Vietnam! We had so much info about the food and Sarah did a great job eplaining it all. Would really recommend this to start your Vietnam trip. Make sure you don’t eat much before, since there is so much food to eat ;-)

Good walking food tour

Tour guide Lucy was great, showed us around to different places to try many interesting dishes I wouldn’t have normally eaten. Also was able to take my allergy into consideration with all the food we ate

Food tour and train street.

I was so full by the end of the tour and our guide Sarah (Yen) was so friendly and informative. I learned a lot of information about Vietnamese culture. It’s a must do tour full of yummy food.

Great experience

Ashley was a great guide. She speaks excellent English and shared a lot of interesting information about the food and the history behind it. She also arranged reserved seats on the train, which made the trip very comfortable.

Hanoi Street Food: Small Group Walking Tour with Real Foodie: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.

How much does Hanoi Street Food: Small Group Walking Tour with Real Foodie cost?

+

Prices start at $21 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: Small Group Walking Tour with Real Foodie take?

+

Plan for about 3 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: Small Group Walking Tour with Real Foodie worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 108 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: Small Group Walking Tour with Real Foodie?

+

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: Small Group Walking Tour with Real Foodie suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Hanoi Street Food: Small Group Walking Tour with Real Foodie?

+

Around 38 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Hanoi Street Food: Small Group Walking Tour with Real Foodie 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: Small Group Walking Tour with Real Foodie?

+

Included: Meals as per itinerary; Sweet Soup; Pillow Cake; Bánh mì - Vietnamese Sandwich; and English speaking guide. Not included: Gratuities; and Alcoholic Beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

Does Hanoi Street Food: Small Group Walking Tour with Real Foodie include hotel pickup?

+

Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 321 listed pickup locations in and around Hanoi. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

What languages is Hanoi Street Food: Small Group Walking Tour with Real Foodie offered in?

+

It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
