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.

I am Rose Nguyen , who was born and raised in Hanoi. I have been working as a guide and travel consultant for customized unique tours in all parts of Vietnam. It is my great honor always to be your local expertise wherever you go in my country. I graduated from the University of Languages and International studies. My second and third degree are tourism & Vietnamese cooking. I found those as the great connection to bring the best services to my beloved customers.

I have been the international licensed tourist guide for more than 12 years until now. I am lucky to escort my clients through different regions. From that, I have chances of better understanding and respecting each culture and value. My priority of working is your satisfaction.


Beside all classic tours in Vietnam, I also have great ides for authentic tours as below:


1) Hidden Hanoi photograph tours

2) Hanoi backstreet motorbike tours: visit the beautiful parts of city and learn about local lives through hidden streets and alleys that only motorbikes can go through.

3) Non-touristy rural market visit and hands-on cooking experience at local home

4) Unspoilt Ninh Binh day trip from Hanoi

More customized options I can offer for your kind consideration.

“Fabulous tour ”

Rose was the perfect tour guide. She was informative and so interesting. She organised a whole-day tour with taxi rides so that I didn’t overuse my broken ankle. She was kind and helpful at all times and I really enjoyed her company. Please don’t hesitate to get in contact with Rose if you want the best tour guide in Hanoi.

Hello Ms. Mai, Thank you so much for your kind feedback. It was my great pleasure to be your guide and took you to the historical sights and explored local spots of Hanoi. Thank you so much for choosing me as your guide. I wish you and your husband a fabulous day. With my best regards, Rose Nhung

“An amazing day in Ninh Binh thank to Rose”

Rose was a phenomenal guide for our group of 4 as we explored Ninh Binh! She was great to work with as we customized the plan for the day so we could see all the sights we wanted to, and brought an incredibly positive energy throughout the day that made the tour feel truly personal. She really made an effort to speak with us each individually, get to know us, and call out facts that she thought we might personally find interesting. Her knowledge of the area was phenomenal and she gave wonderful context about the region, local life, and Vietnamese culture. Truly, you could not pick a better person to help you experience such a beautiful place.

Hello Miles and friends, Thank you so much for your kind words. It truly means a lot to me. I’m so happy I had the chance to spend the day with you and share a little of my home, my culture, and the beauty of Ninh Binh with you. What made the day special for me was not only showing you around, but also getting to know each of you along the way. I’m truly grateful for the time we shared, and I hope you’ll take home wonderful memories of Ninh Binh and Vietnam. Wishing you all the best, and I hope our paths cross again someday! With warmest wishes, Rose Nhung

“wonderful day”

We had a fantastic day exploring Hanoi with our tour guide! Everything was exceptionally well organized, and she was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. She shared lots of interesting information and gave us a wonderful insight into the city and its culture. What we appreciated most was her flexibility and personal approach. She listened carefully to our wishes and adapted the itinerary whenever we wanted to make a change. We never felt that we had to follow a standard tourist program — the entire day was tailored to our interests, which made the experience truly special. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Hanoi. We would absolutely love to come back and explore more with her again! Thank you for such a wonderful day!

Dear Peter, I can’t thank you enough for your wonderful review and kind words. It truly means so much to me! It was such a pleasure spending the day with you and sharing the charm, culture, and everyday life of Hanoi. I’m especially happy that we had the chance to explore Hanoi beyond its busy streets, wandering through little alleys, discovering hidden corners, enjoying some of Hanoi’s unique coffees, and sharing delicious local dishes along the way. These simple moments, the stories we shared, and the little discoveries we made together are what make days like this so meaningful to me as a guide. I’m truly grateful that you enjoyed our time together, and I would love to welcome you back to Vietnam someday to discover more beautiful places and create more wonderful memories together. Until then, I wish you all the best, many happy adventures, and beautiful memories wherever your travels take you! With my best regards, Rose Nhung
