I wasn’t sure what to expect from a walking tour, but this one completely blew me away! Exploring the Old Quarter with Hien felt like being shown around by an old friend who knew all the best-kept secrets. We visited stunning temples, ancient houses, and the fascinating mural street. Hien also shared so much about Hanoi’s history that I felt more connected to the place than ever before. The tour was relaxed, engaging, and full of charm. And best part? She took amazing photos of me along the way! Huge thanks to Hien and ForeverVacation.

This walking experience through the Old Quarter is unlike any other tour I’ve taken. I joined as a solo traveler and left with memories I’ll cherish forever. Our guide, Vu, was beyond incredible—his passion for Hanoi’s history, his personal stories, and his easy-going attitude made the tour feel intimate and rich. From the bustling market to the serene pagodas, every spot was a different layer of Hanoi’s soul. I especially loved learning about the ancient architecture and seeing how locals still preserve their traditions in such a fast-paced world. The Vietnamese coffee stop felt like a pause in time, and Vu helped me get some great solo shots with beautiful backdrops. He even suggested a few local dishes I tried later that day. What stood out most was the care Vu took in making sure we were comfortable, engaged, and truly enjoying every moment. This is more than just sightseeing—it’s storytelling, it’s connection, it’s falling in love with Hanoi. Big shoutout to ForeverVacation for organizing such a thoughtful, well-paced tour. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking to go beyond the usual tourist experience.

As a photographer, this tour was a dream! The vibrant street scenes, ancient buildings, and colorful murals offered endless photo ops. Our guide, Duy, knew all the best angles and hidden spots. Having someone local made all the difference. I left with stunning shots and new stories to tell. Thanks for the amazing day, Duy!

I’m a student on a tight schedule, and this tour gave me everything I wanted in just 5 hours. Culture, coffee, and cool street art! The ancient history of the Old Quarter was fascinating. Our guide, Trang, made learning fun and engaging. ForeverVacation nailed it with this one. Highly recommended for young travelers.

We’re in our 60s and usually prefer slower-paced experiences. This walking tour was perfect! Our guide, Hanh, was gentle, patient, and incredibly informative. She adjusted the pace and made sure we were always comfortable. We loved visiting the Bach Ma temple and sitting down for Vietnamese coffee while she told us about Hanoi’s rich past. The Old Quarter felt like a step into history—so many beautiful alleyways and stories behind every gate. ForeverVacation really understands hospitality. Thank you, Hanh, for taking such great care of us. We left feeling enriched and inspired.

My husband and I are foodies, and this tour was unexpectedly full of great food moments! We started with the history but quickly found ourselves trying local bites around Dong Xuan Market and sipping heavenly coffee in a hidden cafe. Our guide, Phuc, gave us the best local tips and even shared his favorite food stalls. Beyond the temples and houses, the real treat was tasting the Old Quarter. We loved how Phuc tied everything together—the past, the people, and the flavors. Big thanks to ForeverVacation for such a flavorful and insightful afternoon!

I joined this tour as a solo female traveler and was so glad I did! It felt safe, friendly, and incredibly enriching. The streets of the Old Quarter can be confusing, but with our guide, Minh, we navigated everything smoothly. Minh had great energy and was passionate about sharing Hanoi’s culture. I especially loved the Vietnam National Museum of History and the mural street. The small group size made it feel personal, and Minh even took some amazing candid photos for me. ForeverVacation made me feel like a VIP guest the whole time. A beautiful, confidence-boosting day!

We came to Hanoi as a group of four friends on a graduation trip, and this walking tour became one of our favorite memories! The Old Quarter is like no other place—buzzing with energy, layered with history, and packed with charm. Our guide, Lien, was simply incredible. She was funny, energetic, and shared so much history in a way that was never boring. We loved stopping at Ma May Ancient House and learning how people lived generations ago. The mural street was super Insta-worthy, and Lien helped us all get perfect group shots! We even tried a surprise local dessert from a street stall near the Opera House—delicious! The highlight for us was sitting down at a vintage cafe, sipping Vietnamese egg coffee, and just soaking in the atmosphere while listening to Lien’s childhood stories about growing up in Hanoi. ForeverVacation made it easy and personal—from hotel pickup to lunch arrangements. We never felt rushed, and Lien treated us like old friends. If you're visiting with friends, this tour is a perfect mix of culture, history, and fun. Can’t recommend it enough!
