Free Walking Tour of Hanoi

  • 1,229 reviews | 17,065 travellers
    Our guide was Anh, charming and passionate about Vietnamese culture, she strives to convey the values and customs of her people and in perfect Spanish she succeeds with flying colors. For me it was a beautiful practical lesson about Vietnam, its history, its traditions and its idiosyncrasy. Great introduction to understand, even a little, the cultural differences between East and West.

Hanoi Free Walking Tour Itinerary

Your free walking tour of Hanoi will begin at the scheduled time in Phung Hung, a street in the heart of the city centre from which you'll head to the Vietnamese capital's most popular shopping spot: the Dong Xuan Market. Learn curious facts about the enormous historic market, which was originally built in 1889 under the French Administration. Which products are most in demand? And which are the most expensive?

Continue your guided walking tour over to the emblematic Hoan Kiem Lake, which has given its name to the urban district in which it is located. The lake is one of Hanoi's most scenic spots, and locals and tourists alike can be seen enjoying views over to Turtle Tower and the Temple of the Jade Mountain, located on their own islets in the lake. Cau The Huc, a red-painted wooden bridge leading to the temple, is a popular photo spot for loved-up couples.

Delve deeper into the historic streets of Hanoi's Old Quarter, where you'll take a break from admiring the typical French Indochina architecture to stop in a traditional cafe and sample a local delicacy: Vietnamese egg coffee

After 3 hours of exploring the city. We'll then finish our free tour by returning to the starting point.
