Dong Xuan Market
The forerunner of Dong Xuan Market was Bach Ma Market and Cau Dong Market - the two ancient markets of Thang Long Citadel. After the French authority ordered the abolition of all small markets to form a new large market in the purpose of facilitating the purchase and exchange of goods, Dong Xuan Market was born in 1889. Thanks to its riverside location - where boats operated busily all day and night, the market quickly became the biggest trade center in the capital. In 1947, the market was heavily influenced by the fierce war of the Hanoi's soldiers and people in the early days of the resistance war. Then, a big fire occurring in 1994 caused great damage in the market. Therefore, a year later, Dong Xuan Market was rebuilt with a total area of three floors of nearly 14,000 m2 with more than 2,000 stores.

An Apple a Day?
Our trip was led by Apple and luckily for us. It was just the three of us. She was very charming, perceptive and informative and shared many pieces of information about the food and the culture and the history.

Vesper Street Food Tour and History of Hanoi
Our adventure began as we jumped onto the back of a Vespa, weaving through Hanoi’s organised chaos toward our first food stop: Bún Chả. This iconic dish - rice noodles, smoky BBQ pork, fresh herbs and a sweet‑sour dipping sauce - was a flavour explosion. Our tour guide Kim, explained its origins, how locals eat it, and why it remains one of Hanoi’s most beloved meals. Next, we rode into the French Quarter, stopping at the elegant Hanoi Opera House. Kim shared stories of colonial architecture, political history and cultural transformation, all delivered with his signature humour. It was the perfect moment for photos and a deeper appreciation of the city’s layered past. Back on the Vespa, we cruised past the colourful Ceramic Road and over Chuong Duong Bridge to enjoy Bánh Xèo, the crispy Vietnamese pancake. Kim swapped this in after learning we had already tried other dishes earlier in the trip - her attention to detail made the experience feel personalised and thoughtful. A ride around West Lake followed, offering a romantic and rarely seen perspective of Hanoi. We then passed the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, stopping for night‑time photos while Kim shared stories of Ho Chi Minh’s life, leadership and legacy. His explanations were clear, engaging and surprisingly entertaining, making history feel alive. Finally, we arrived at a cosy egg coffee shop beside the railway tracks. As we sipped the rich, velvety drink, we watched a train thunder past just metres away - an unforgettable end to an incredible afternoon.

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Old Quarter Hanoi Street Foods and Heritage Road Tour by Walking: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does Old Quarter Hanoi Street Foods and Heritage Road Tour by Walking cost?
+
Prices start at $39 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 Old Quarter Hanoi Street Foods and Heritage Road Tour by Walking 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 Old Quarter Hanoi Street Foods and Heritage Road Tour by Walking worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 132 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 Old Quarter Hanoi Street Foods and Heritage Road Tour by Walking?
+
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 Old Quarter Hanoi Street Foods and Heritage Road Tour by Walking 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 Old Quarter Hanoi Street Foods and Heritage Road Tour by Walking?
+
Around 46 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 Old Quarter Hanoi Street Foods and Heritage Road Tour by Walking 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.
