Itinerary
Discover the best of Hanoi's Old Quarter on foot with our lovely tour guide. To boost your energy, we start with a cup of delicious egg coffee at the hidden original place. Savor the rich, creamy texture and unique flavor of this special drink. Your guide will explain the process of making egg coffee, which involves whisking egg yolks with sugar and coffee to create a creamy, frothy topping. We then explore the well-preserved Ma May Ancient House, a 19th-century merchant's house. Explore the house’s traditional architecture, which includes wooden beams, tiled roofs, and intricate carvings. Learn about the typical layout of a Vietnamese home during this period, designed to accommodate both living and business activities.
Continue wandering through the narrow streets, each named after the goods traditionally sold there, and experience the vibrant life of the local markets and shops. Stop at to Bach Ma Temple, one of the oldest and most revered temples in the city. Your guide will explain the history of the temple, which dates back to the 9th century. Learn about its foundation by King Ly Thai To and the legend of the white horse that guided the king to this auspicious site. Our last stop is Dong Xuan Market, one of the city's largest and most bustling marketplaces. Established in 1889 during the French colonial era, this historic market has become a central hub for commerce and culture in the Vietnamese capital. The market spans multiple floors and is housed in a large, Soviet-style building with a distinctive facade. Finish your trip with a leisure Cyclo Ride, as you sit back and let the cyclo driver pedal you through the maze of streets. This offers a break from walking back and a chance to enjoy the sights without the rush of modern transportation.
