Description

My name is Hung (sounds like Hungry but without the -ry), born and raised in Hanoi. Join me, your local friend, for a fascinating journey through the hidden gems and timeless beauty of Vietnam's capital. Our adventure begins with a leisurely stroll through Hanoi’s ancient streets, where you'll experience the city’s rich heritage firsthand. From the French colonial architecture to the winding alleys of the Old Quarter, each corner of this charming city tells a story that’s over a thousand years in the making. Along the way, we’ll indulge in a culinary exploration of Hanoi’s best street food. From savory pho and crispy banh xeo to sweet egg coffee, you’ll taste the authentic flavors that have defined the local cuisine for generations. I’ll introduce you to hidden food stalls that only locals know, ensuring a true gastronomic experience. But the highlight of our journey will be the thrilling visit to Hanoi’s famous Train Street. Here, we’ll stand just a few feet away from passing trains, as they roar down narrow tracks that cut through the heart of residential neighborhoods. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that’s both exhilarating and unforgettable. Let’s dive deep into the antique charm of Hanoi together, where history, food, and adventure come alive!
