At your hotel

I will pick you up at your hotel in the Old Quarter.

04:30 PM

First stop: Hanoi original egg coffee

Once setting foot in Hanoi, you should not miss the chance to taste a special drink which is Hanoi egg coffee. It first seems quite weird, why can eggs be added to coffee? It’s the secret recipe of Mr. Nguyen Van Giang, the father of this unique beverage. We will learn intrerstingly why and how egg coffee was created.

05:00 PM

Second stop: Green papaya salad

We stroll down to the shortest street of just 52 meters long for your first bite of Vietnamese favorite dish of shredded young papaya with beef jerky

05:20 PM

Thrid stop: Hang Be market -

Check out a busy outdoor local market with lots of fresh food, veggies and flowers. Try very unique crispy fried fish meat roll.Through the market, a tiny alley reveals an old historic temple that was built by the Ly dynasty.

06:00 PM

Stop 4:Snack

Try a hot Vietnamese donut from sticky rice flower since the lady keeps busy of making and frying the donuts all day.

06:20 PM

Stop 5: Be adventerous, Let's try

Cha ruoi (sand worm omelet) is a Vietnamese dish made from ruoi (sand worms or Nereididae) which has been popular in Hanoi for quite a while.

While the worms themselves may look frightening to some, when mixed into an omelet, they add a delicious flavor that perfectly represents the city of Hanoi.

06:40 PM

Stop 6: Best pillow cake in town from a hidden small corner

The lady has 2-3 hours to sell out all of her pillow cakes. Her house is way deep inside the alley. She rent the small corner in front of big road. Her main customers are Vietnamese people who are real foodie. Her pillow cake is crispy outside & flavorful inside.

07:00 PM

Stop 7: Discover the Deliciousness of Banh Mi Que

As I researched Banh Mi Que, I found out that it is a traditional Vietnamese snack that has been around for centuries. The literal translation of Banh Mi Que is “stick bread,” which refers to the shape of the snack. It is a cylindrical-shaped bread that is about the size of a finger.

07:20 PM

Stop 8: Banh cuon - Vietnamese Rice Rolls)

The name literally means rolled cakes because these delicious little treats are a batter of primarily rice flour, and the traditional filling is made of pork, onion, jicama, and mushrooms which are then rolled up. The texture is just amazing. The cooked dipping fish sauce makes it perfect.

07:40 PM

Stop 9: Green sticky rice with ice-cream

Sweet sweet dessert

Walk through the old streets. Try the delicious famous snack to northern Vietnam, then get to a small alley where you try a very simple but creative bite from southern Vietnam.

Discover a few more very hidden spots before we head over to some sweet desserts.


08:00 PM

At your hotel

End the tour with a warm goodbye and enjoy the rest of your evening.

Reviews

Amazing tours and service!!!

Our family of 4 stayed in Ha Noi for 4 nights and had Rose (Nhung) organize our stay. I also asked her to arrange transport to and from the airport to our hotel in the Old Quarter. We did a one day tour of Ha Noi, one day in Ninh Binh, and one day in Ha Long Bay with a private cruise. We had a very comfortable, large van with a driver and Rose accompanying us the entire time. We saw so many beautiful Temples, Pagodas, ate in wonderful restaurants for lunch, had ringside seats on Train street, toured the market, had Egg Coffee, Salt Coffee, Coconut Coffee, sampan tours at Ninh Binh and Ha Long Bay . So many things and done well. Having Rose and her team meant being dropped off right where we needed to go, getting whisked into places, restaurants, attractions and then met by our driver when we were done. It was absolutely amazing. It cut down on wasted time, effort, walking and eliminated stress. Rose communicated with us at booking and took care of our entire wish list. She is very accommodating, responsive, knowledgeable, insightful and just a wonderful guide to have. If you want to make the most of your time in Ha Noi and the surrounding area, I highly recommend that you contact her and set up your dream tour. Thank you Rose, you helped us create so many lasting memories!

Engaging tours of spectacular countryside & Hanoi old town

Rose took me on 3 days of spectacular private tours of Hanoi and its surrounding countryside areas (while my husband was working in Hanoi). The experiences were tailored for me, and were adventurous and fun. Rose shared information in a way that was engaging and memorable, such that I was able to share lots of interesting new knowledge with my husband each evening. She hired a luxurious vehicle and driver to transport us each day with individual reclining rear seats. Thank you Rose for a memorable 3 days!

Dear Ms. Liv, I could not know how to fully express my gratitude for your kind choice on my services and for enjoying the tour with me. I am blessed for the 3 days I was able to show you the hidden gems of Hanoi and its culture, history together best local food. We also visited such peaceful Ninh Binh from hiking, boating to boating. We also visited amazing and quite religious site Perfume Pagoda. Thank you so much again for being kind and for our wonderful time. It is my honor Rose and team (driver...) to work for your fabulous trip. With my best regards, Rose
