Amazing tour
The guide William was very Knowledgeable. He told us about history and the culture here. Took us to places we have not been before and then ensured we were at train street on time. He navigated the roads and crossing excellent which was definitely needed with all the traffic and no lights! Made me feel more confident walking around Hanoi at night. Highlight of Hanoi for me

Excellent insight into old quarter
Had an awesome couple of hours with William. Walked through the old quarter seeing the main sights, had a coffee at Train Street as the train went past (William even found a flattened bottle cap - great free souvenir). Best thing was the insight into Vietnamese culture which William was happy to share with me. Highly recommend this tour

Didn’t get the experience we paid for.
“William” our tour guide had 1 job: to take us to Train Street to experience the passing of the train while having a drink at a track side cafe. After taking us on an hour and half walking tour of the Old Quarter, the Lake, Church and Markets, we arrived 5 minute late to Train Street and only had a fleeting view of the train as it disappeared on its journey to the cafe area. We then went to the cafe, had a couple of free beers by way if compensation and took several photos of the area after the event. Oh, and it was advertised to include a food tour, thinking we’d be tasting food on the tour. But No. Waste of time and money!
Response from the operator: Dear Peter, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We would like to clarify a few points regarding this tour: Tour itinerary and meeting point This experience is designed as a walking tour combining highlights of Hanoi Old Quarter with the Train Street visit. The itinerary clearly includes walking through the Old Quarter, Hoan Kiem Lake area, church, and local streets before arriving at Train Street. The meeting point is also stated in advance in the booking details. Train Street experience Our guide’s main responsibility is not only to escort guests to Train Street, but also to provide a guided walking experience around Hanoi before the train viewing. On this day, due to timing factors and walking pace, the group arrived shortly after the train had passed. We understand this was disappointing, especially if seeing the train pass was your main priority. To make up for this inconvenience, our guide arranged complimentary beers for your group in addition to the included drink at the Train Street café. Food inclusion The tour includes one complimentary drink per guest at the Train Street café. This is stated clearly in the itinerary. This is not a street food tasting tour, despite the tour including walking through food and market areas. We appreciate your comments, as they help us improve communication and guest expectations. We will review how we explain the itinerary at the start of the tour to ensure guests understand the walking route, inclusions, and timing for the train schedule more clearly. Thank you again for your feedback. Best regards, Rose

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hanoi Train Street Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does Hanoi Train Street Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $15 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 Train Street Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Train Street Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 78 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 Train Street 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 Train Street Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hanoi Train Street Tour?
+
Around 27 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hanoi Train Street 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 Ninh Binh Day Trip from Hanoi with Tam Coc or Trang An & Mua Cave, Ha Giang Loop Tour 4 Days 3 Nights with Ha Giang Vision Tour, Halong Bay Day Tour With Titop Island, Cave, Kayak & Lunch. 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.
