    Full description
    Begin your experience with a pickup from your hotel in Hanoi. Then, start your walking tour in the Old Quarter, known as the ’36 streets.’ Visit some famous and specialized food stalls and local restaurants. Watch as the food is made and taste some particular dishes.

    Learn about Vietnamese cuisine, culture, people, and language. Have a unique experience trying the foods of the local Hanoi people. The food is handled hygienically, and comfortable venues are provided for the tastings. The benefit also goes back to the vendors or restaurants/families as the food is bought directly from them.

    Later, the guide will bring you to enjoy a water puppet show, a unique variation on the ancient Asian puppet tradition and a Vietnamese tradition dating back to the 11th century. Supported by a large rod placed under the water and manipulated by experienced puppeteers, the wooden puppets appear to be dancing over the water, telling folk tales. It’s entertaining and suitable for all audiences.

    At the end of your Hanoi tour, you are free to continue exploring the area, or your guide will assist you with directions or a taxi back to your hotel.
