We absolutely loved this walking tour through the Old Quarter. Our guide, Hoa, was amazing—so friendly and knowledgeable! The architecture, street life, and markets were incredible. We even got to see hidden temples we wouldn’t have found ourselves. It was personal, insightful, and full of charm. Big thanks to Hoa for a wonderful day!

I traveled solo and wanted to explore the Old Quarter in a deeper, more authentic way—this tour exceeded my expectations! From the bustle of Dong Xuan Market to the peaceful Hoe Nhai Pagoda, every stop was a new delight. The Ma May Ancient House was a favorite! Our guide, Thanh, was incredibly kind and informative, sharing both history and personal stories. Plus, he helped capture some beautiful photos of me along the way. I didn’t feel like a tourist—I felt like a local for a few hours. Truly a highlight of my trip. Thank you so much, Thanh!

This was the perfect tour for our first full day in Hanoi! As a couple, we appreciated the pace and depth of this walking experience. The mix of history, food, and hidden cultural spots made it unforgettable. Our guide, Mai, was wonderful—so patient, so passionate, and she answered all our questions with a smile. The coffee break was a real treat, and we loved exploring mural street and the Opera House. We left the Old Quarter feeling inspired and educated. Thank you, Mai, for showing us the heart of Hanoi. Highly recommended!

We joined the Old Quarter walking tour as a family with two teens and didn’t expect it to be this engaging for all ages. But we were so impressed! Our guide, An, kept everyone interested with stories, fun facts, and even local snacks. The kids loved Phung Hung Mural Street and the ancient gates. The adults loved the National Museum and the beautiful old architecture. It felt like Hanoi opened itself up to us through this experience. An even helped us take great family photos. It was the perfect way to understand the soul of the city. Thanks again, An!

Walking through Hanoi’s Old Quarter was one of the most magical parts of our Vietnam trip. My husband and I booked this private walking experience hoping for something more personal—and that’s exactly what we got. From the very first step at Dong Xuan Market, our guide, Quyen, was warm, welcoming, and deeply knowledgeable. She told stories about the ancient gates, pointed out French-inspired architecture, and introduced us to cultural treasures like Bach Ma temple and Ma May Ancient House. The way she blended history with everyday life made everything feel alive. We loved sipping strong, aromatic Vietnamese coffee at a tucked-away café and enjoyed wandering mural street where colors and history collide. Quyen also captured some lovely couple photos for us—her photography skills are a bonus! We appreciated the slow pace, the thoughtful stops, and the opportunity to connect with Hanoi on a deeper level. There’s something truly special about walking the very streets that have seen a thousand years of history. We wouldn’t have discovered half of this on our own. Thank you, Quyen, for a heartfelt and insightful day. We’ll treasure this experience forever.

If you want to feel the heartbeat of Hanoi, this is the tour you should take. I joined this tour with a group of friends, and each of us came away feeling we had touched something truly special. Our guide, Nam, was the kind of person who knows every nook and cranny, from hidden pagodas behind walls to bustling market corners with food smells that linger in your memory. Starting at Dong Xuan Market and walking through ancient gates, Nam layered the experience with stories from the past and present. The National Museum of History was beautifully explained, and the quietness of the pagodas was contrasted so nicely with the liveliness of the streets. We laughed, we learned, and we took a thousand photos—thanks to Nam’s help. I especially loved Phung Hung Mural Street, where street art meets tradition in the most creative way. This wasn’t just a tour; it was an immersion. We ended with Vietnamese coffee and heartfelt conversation. ForeverVacation made sure everything was seamless—transport, water, lunch—and Nam made it unforgettable. I can’t recommend this tour enough.
