Overview
We are Nguyen and Van Anh, the two born locals who have been in love with Hanoi more than we can think of. Our goal is to share with everyone the vibrant life and interesting stories of Hanoi, so that everyone can appreciate the beauty of the city. So if you are looking to see and learn stories of Hanoi from a local perspective, this is the one for you.
Discover the cultural and historical diversity of Hanoi on this walking tour. We will explore different spiritual traditions by visiting a traditional Vietnamese temple and pagoda, where you will learn about local beliefs, ancestor worship, and the influence of Buddhism in daily life.
Next, we will stop at a beautiful Catholic church that reflects the French colonial period and the spread of Catholicism in Vietnam. The journey continues to Hoa Lo Prison, a powerful historical site that tells stories from the French colonial era and the Vietnam War.
Along the way, you will walk through lively local streets and experience everyday life in Hanoi. Our tour ends at the famous Train Street, where you can relax with a cup of authentic Vietnamese coffee and watch the train pass by– one of the most unique experiences in the city.
