Overview
Beyond the famous Old Quarter lies a side of Hanoi rarely seen by travelers. Join George and Sofia, local history enthusiasts, for an intimate walking tour through the city's best-kept secrets. While the French and Old Quarters define the city's skyline, we take you into the heart of authentic neighborhoods where history and daily life intertwine.
Our journey begins at a traditional communal house, a sacred space where you will discover the ancient customs of village guardian worship. From there, we navigate the sensory-rich environment of a bustling wet market and weave through narrow alleys adorned with Hanoi’s famous "spider web" electrical wires.
A highlight of the tour is a stop at a small neighborhood lake to witness the historic B52 bomber wreckage—a poignant relic of the Vietnam War. We will gather for a local drink to discuss the city’s resilience before concluding at the scenic Thanh Nien Street. Nestled between Truc Bach and West Lake, it is the perfect romantic spot for a group photo.
Join us on foot for a social, deep-dive experience into the soul of Hanoi. Experience the city’s vibrant energy and historical depth like a true local.
