Street Food & Train Street Discovery Tour in Hanoi
♡ Save


Discover Hanoi on a tour that takes you through authentic flavors and local life. Sample specialties like bún chả, bánh mì, and other Vietnamese delicacies, then round out the experience with a coffee or a drink on the famous Train Street.
We offer much more than just a food tour. We invite you to embark on a sensory journey into the heart of Hanoi, guided by locals who were born and raised in the city—people who don’t just show you the food, but help you discover the stories behind each dish.
Our journey begins with one of the most beloved symbols of Vietnamese cuisine: the sandwich. As we make our way through the streets of downtown, we’ll pass by St. Joseph’s Cathedral, where we’ll hear stories about Hanoi’s history and the fusion of French and Vietnamese cultures. We’ll then continue with a tasting of a dish called “bún chả” at a Michelin-starred restaurant to discover one of the capital’s most iconic dishes. The tour continues with “bánh xèo,” a crispy and flavorful specialty, followed by a local dessert.
We’ll wrap up the experience at one of Hanoi’s most surprising spots: a famous area known as “Train Street.” Here, you can relax while enjoying an egg coffee, coconut coffee, salted coffee, or another beverage of your choice, all while soaking up a truly unique atmosphere.
