Join with me today on my unique walking tour to unock the city's secrets. Hanoi, is a magical place! You are going to experience it all. So get ready; culture, history, and local lifestyle await! If you are a first time visitor, it is common to recognize the Old Quarter as a crazy area with lots of traffic. Further than that, walk with me through narrow alleys and local market. We will realize how beautiful the smiles of street vendors, of the loaders are. We have an insight of Vietnam history through periods: from French coloninal, the North- South devision to collective economy. You will learn why the houses in the old quarter are very narrow? Why most the street names are started with Hang? We will learn about the traditional style of architecture. 5 reasons to book this experience: Explore the famous sightseeings Discover hidden gems away from the tourist paths Experience the city from local perspectives Visit train street Enjoy egg coffee from a hidden original cafe Taste the best Obamas's noodles

As agreed time, I will pick you up at your hotel. We first start at a coffee place to learn about Vietnamese drink coffee culture and taste how yummy our egg coffee is. After that, we get ready for our hidden walking tour discovery. Places to visit in my tours are: 1)Local market : I will take you to unseen angles to learn more about history & local architectur. 2) Local temple/pagoda 3) Small alley and houses: You will not believe people have been living happilly and doing their business for generations here 4) Long Bien bridge: a historical witness from 1902 5) Train street that local people still live on the sides. I cannot confirm the train timing passing by (since it is changed by times). We come here to visit the train street only. 6) St. Josepth Cathedral:to see from outside: is a beautiful Roman Catholic cathedral with Gothic style 7) Authentic street style restaurant to try the best Obama's noodles
