Our walking tour of the Old Quarter felt like we unlocked a secret part of Hanoi. Our guide, Duc, was phenomenal—warm, funny, and super knowledgeable. He helped us navigate through the chaos of the market to the peace of the pagodas, sharing stories that made each place meaningful. I loved mural street and all the hidden art spots. The tour pace was just right, with plenty of breaks. And the local coffee shop stop? Chef’s kiss. Highly recommend booking this as your first activity in Hanoi. Thank you, Duc and ForeverVacation!

This tour is a history lover’s dream. As a retired teacher, I was deeply impressed by how well the guide, Minh Chau, blended facts with local stories. Walking the streets of the Old Quarter made me appreciate how the past still lives on here. The Buddhist temples and ancient house were so well preserved. We also appreciated the cool breeze while sipping coffee in a traditional café. Thank you, Minh Chau, for your thoughtful narration and kind hospitality. ForeverVacation delivered a meaningful, educational experience.

Traveling solo in Hanoi and this tour gave me a sense of connection. Hoa, our guide, was so friendly and made me feel part of the group. The stories behind each gate and mural made me fall in love with the city. Thank you, Hoa and ForeverVacation!

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful experience exploring the Old Quarter with ForeverVacation. Our guide, Phuong, was warm, engaging, and had a great sense of humor. We especially enjoyed the National Museum and mural street. Phuong made sure we had time to explore and take beautiful photos together. The local coffee shop she took us to was such a hidden gem! We would have never found it ourselves. A big thank you to Phuong for making this a highlight of our Hanoi trip!

This was more than a tour—it felt like a journey through time. The Old Quarter is such a vibrant place and our guide, Bao Anh, really helped us see it through local eyes. From the moment we met at Dong Xuan Market, Bao Anh made us feel like friends rather than tourists. We learned about Hanoi’s origins, how each street got its name, and even visited a traditional medicine shop tucked away in a narrow alley. The mural street was bright and artistic, and I loved how Bao Anh connected the past with the modern art vibe of the area. Visiting the Ma May Ancient House gave us chills, imagining life 100+ years ago. And nothing beats the creamy Vietnamese egg coffee we had at a small, atmospheric café. Bao Anh also took the time to take photos of my husband and me that we now treasure. Thank you, ForeverVacation, for organizing such a thoughtful and deep experience. Hanoi will always hold a special place in our hearts because of this tour.

As someone with mobility concerns, I was worried about a walking tour—but ForeverVacation and our guide, Huy, made everything easy. We took breaks often and walked at a gentle pace. Huy was incredibly kind and even brought a fan for me! The history, the art, the local vibes—it was all perfect. Huy explained everything with such passion and clarity. The Quan Chuong Gate and mural street were standouts for me. Plus, the Vietnamese coffee was just divine. Thank you so much, Huy. You made my Hanoi trip unforgettable.
