Itinerary
- 1The street food tour starts by walking around the maze of bustling streets called Hanoi’s Old Quarter. You will stand a chance to try several Hanoi traditional dishes such as: Pho, Banh Cuon, Banh Xeo (Cripsy Cake), Sweet Dumpling..etc, which absolutely tempt your tastebuds at the first taste. Then, local guide take you to “Banh Mi” that is sold in hidden street food restaurants, which actually makes it unique. It is consists of different ingredients as grilled meats, fried eggs, pate with fresh vegetables and flavorsome sauces. Ending your Hanoi street food tour with Egg Coffee is a perfect dessert choice. It is definitely a must-try drink when visiting Hanoi though its name sounds weird at first. The combination of strong black coffee with whipping egg yolk, sugar and condensed milk creates a creamy and sweet taste with no hint of egg.
About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Climber485069217050 contributionsPerfect for the history buff in all of usAlex is a walking encyclopedia of knowledge. If you are a history buff, or want a tour that is more focused on the historic and militaristic side of Vietnam, this is the one! As the other reviewers have stated, you quickly get from site to site via nice air-conditioned taxi, and Alex did an excellent job providing a historical context to what would otherwise be just a quick photo stop. Highly recommend!Written July 7, 2024
- Callumnity0 contributionsHistory 101I had an amazing tour with Alex. he was informative and was happy to explain all about the wars that Vietnam have been through. There were some quite emotional and harrowing images, especially at the 'Hanoi Hilton' prison. I was a lone traveller and had amazing experience of Vietnam's rich and varied history, which included the ancient Citadel, with it's beautiful buildings and gardens.Written March 28, 2024
- DavidM8300 contributionsGreat Tour of Hanoi Military SitesWhile visiting in Hanoi, and friend and I took the half day military tour. We visited the Hanoi Military Museum, the Hoa Lo Prison, and the site of the crashed B-52. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the places we visited and answered all of our questions. He stayed in touch before the tour, and met us at our hotel exactly on time. As we walked around the city, he answered all of questions and led us through some “off the beaten path” areas. It was a very enjoyable and educational tour.Written August 11, 2023
- Roberta U0 contributionsEnjoyed our time touring Hanoi with Alex.We very much enjoyed touring Hanoi with Alex, including a French Quarter walking tour and Old Quarter street food tour. Stopped at a great place for coffee … the egg yolk coffee was a treat! Great variety on the street food tour. Alex also offered great restaurant recommendations. The best part was just to get to know Alex, he’s a great guy.Written April 26, 2023
- Mariel G0 contributionsHalf day military tourAlex is nice and took us around to the Hanoi prison, the military museum, the site of a B52 crash and the Long Bien Bridge. During this tour, you will be shuttled via taxi from site to site. I will say it was a convenient way to see all the sites in a half day, however we felt like this was extremely over priced, and that there was not much enthusiasm or personalization. I didn’t get the feeling he was really passionate about this job. He also asked me if I was interested in a unique gift from Hanoi- and I said sure I would be willing to look. Maybe there was some mis- communication but he took us 25 minutes out of the way to a large industrial building with an extremely pushy owner trying to get me to buy something. It was a huge waste of time and I would have said “no” had I realized it was so far away. The entire thing just felt off to me. Ultimately the price didn’t justify the tour.Written August 19, 2022

- RoverSanFrancisco0 contributionsExcellent day with a excellent guideWe have only one full day to do any sightseeing. As this is our second trip to Hanoi, we want to see something different. I contacted Alex and told him I wanted to see Tam Coc and take boat ride to see caves. He customized a tour for us and we have the best experience. We went to Tam Coc early to avoid any waiting and the restaurant he took us was really good. After lunch we went to Galaxy Grotto (Dong Thien Ha). It’s an unbelievable experience. We were the only people there. To reach the grotto a boatman rolled us to the foot of the mountain then walked about 5 minutes to the cave entrance. Once inside the shapes of the stalactite and the lights are just amazing. You will need to take another boat ride inside the wet cave. Just beware of bats hanging on the ceiling, if you shine the torch on them they will fly around. Thanks Alex for arranging this wonderful day!Written September 18, 2019
- Adrian P0 contributionsExcellent, professional and knowledgable tour guide!Our three-day stay in Hanoi was impeccably well organised thanks to our wonderful tourguide Alex. Everything was taken care off with great enthusiasm and we did not have to worry about a single thing from the airport pickup to a day tour to Halong Bay for example. Alex provides the right amount of detail yet does not overburden one with all there is to know about Vietnam and thus made our stay very comfortable and insightful at the same time. If you are looking for a professional, certified tourguide that especially caters for private and customised tours, Alex definitely will take great care of you and we would like to recommend him without any hesitation.Written September 3, 2018

We had dinner at Madam Hien last night and it was great so thanks for that Alex. Hopefully we see you in NZ some timeWritten May 8, 2018
- sandydejohn0 contributionsAlex Nguyen tour guideOur Hanoi guide was Alex Nguyen. He guided us through the Citadel, a museum, and the Old Quarter. He also recommended an amazing local show at the Tuong Theatre, “My Village” and dinner afterward at Madame Hien. Both were amazing and we wouldn’t have known about them without his recommendation. Thank you Alex!Written April 20, 2018
- Dtomlinson0 contributionsGreat day in Hanoi with Alex!We did the full day city tour with Alex. Alex is a great guide being both knowledgeable and interesting. He’s flexible with changes to the itinerary and had a great local lunch recommendation. Happy to recommend Alex in Hanoi!Written December 25, 2017
- CReed010850 contributionsStreet Food TourMy 14-year old son and I had a great tour during our one evening in Hanoi. Alex was flexible, changing the date to accommodate our change in travel. He met us on-time, his English is as good as mine, and he was very polite and friendly. We were pretty tired from our travels, so his pace was adjusted according to our own. We sampled several local establishments that I probably wouldn't have ventured into on my own. We were introduced to several foods that I had never had before, and enjoyed a relaxing drink at a local watering hole. In addition to the food, Alex described quite a bit about the local history and culture, as well as several geographic/architectural interests. During my next trip to Hanoi, I hope to book other tours with Alex! Excellent guide!Written October 2, 2017
- Bruce M0 contributionsNinh BinhI had a great day with Alex riding a sampan in Ninh Binh and then touring the temples in the area. Alex is friendly, speaks good English, and is passionate about history. He also loves photography, which is great since you won't feel like a tourist taking lots of pictures.Written June 27, 2017

Alex took two of us on a three hour (half day) walking tour in the Old City area of Hanoi to four locations offering different food and drink selections typical to Hanoi. An experienced tour guide, he provided ample information about the area, food and culture during the tour.
As an aside... by following Alex through the busy streets of the Old City, we learned how to cross streets without incident.
