♡ Save
Join a local Hanoi tour to savor green sticky rice, visit St. Joseph Cathedral, and stroll around Hoan Kiem Lake with Trang Tien ice cream. Uncover Old Quarter history and wrap up with a classic water puppet show!
Our tour begins at St. Joseph's Cathedral (Nhà Thờ Lớn), one of Hanoi's most iconic landmarks. Here, we'll taste green sticky rice, a traditional Vietnamese specialty, and take some photos around the cathedral. I'll also introduce the history and cultural significance of this beautiful church. Next, we'll take a relaxing walk around Hoàn Kiếm Lake, where you can enjoy the fresh morning air and experience the peaceful atmosphere of the city. Along the way, we'll stop to enjoy the famous Tràng Tiền ice cream, a beloved local treat.
Finally, we'll end the tour by watching a traditional water puppet show at the Thăng Long Water Puppet Theatre, located just across from Hoàn Kiếm Lake. This unique performance is a wonderful way to discover Vietnam's rich cultural heritage.
