Streets of Hanoi with food and jazz
If you love jazz music this tour is the best. I would recommend doing this when you arrive in Hanoi as the streets you visit you will likely want to visit again. Thankyou Duc for showing me the coolest parts of town. Loved your knowledge and chats. Really had a great night

Hanging with Duc
Highly recommend Duc and his street food secret music tour. Duc very knowledgable and lots of fun! Had a tasty meal at local restaurant on Beer Street that as a regular tourist you’d walk right by. Definitely hanging with a ‘local’ is the way to go! Thank you Duc!

Fantastic night out in Hanoi
We had a fantastic night with Duc. We started with egg coffee we had great drink stops and an amazing dinner. The night ended with a fantastic jazz bar. I would highly recommend this tour. Duc was fantastic and very knowledgeable. He was highly recommended by a friend and he did not disappoint

Hanoi Must Do!
We had an amazing night! Right from the start with our exciting motorbike ride through the bustling streets of Hanoi we knew we were in for a treat. Duc was very knowledgeable, and he told us about history in Hanoi and showed us hidden places of interest. We tasted some of the best food and drink the city had to offer as well as taking in the sights, sounds and smells of this wonderful place. We finished the night off with a visit to the local jazz club which was surprisingly great. We felt safe and entertained every minute of the tour and were left with huge smiles on our faces. Thank you, Duc, for a fabulous time! We would highly recommend this tour to everyone especially if you want that special view of the city only a local can give.

Good jazz music
The guide didn’t speak English well He wasn’t attentive If we stopped to see something, he walked on, never looked back, we had to find him He wasn’t attentive rushed for some reason. We made one food stop The jazz band was very good. We enjoyed the music. We were tired and ready to leave. The guide wanted to stay until the end of the band’s performance. He helped us get a cab back to our hotel. We went on our way and he went his way
Response from the operator: I am very sad that the black woman in California criticized the tour guide for being Vietnamese. The two women were sophisticated, always looking down on, demanding vegetarian food while the niece was pleasant. They demanded to go to the restaurant, ordered too much food, couldn't finish it, and fell asleep while listening to music. I introduced them to the history and culture of the Vietnamese people, they ignored the stories, got angry because of unreasonable demands while not listening carefully to the tour guide. I sent them restaurant addresses, they lied. They are tarnishing the image of the American people 🇺🇸 in the 21st century and the friendliness of the Vietnamese people.

Walking Street Food Tour and Hidden Music: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does Walking Street Food Tour and Hidden Music cost?
+
Prices start at $55 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 Walking Street Food Tour and Hidden Music 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 Walking Street Food Tour and Hidden Music worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 21 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 Walking Street Food Tour and Hidden Music?
+
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 Walking Street Food Tour and Hidden Music 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 Walking Street Food Tour and Hidden Music?
+
Around 7 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 Walking Street Food Tour and Hidden Music 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 Walking Street Food Tour and Hidden Music?
+
Included: Alcoholic beverages; Dinner; and Tea and coffee. Not included: Entrance fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Walking Street Food Tour and Hidden Music include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 428 listed pickup locations in and around Hanoi. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Walking Street Food Tour and Hidden Music offered in?
+
It is offered in English 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 Walking Street Food Tour and Hidden Music?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Walking Street Food Tour and Hidden Music wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Walking Street Food Tour and Hidden Music if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
What do travelers say about Walking Street Food Tour and Hidden Music?
