Full description

This is a 3-hour experience in Hanoi. Your place is held with the operator before we treat your booking as final.

Hanoi is a thousand years old and a French colonial capital and it is both at once: the Old Quarter's 36 streets each named for the guild that traded there, the lake of the returned sword at its heart, the Temple of Literature from 1070, the mausoleum where Ho Chi Minh lies in state (mornings only, closed Mondays and Fridays and for two months each autumn), and the tree-lined French quarter of villas and the Opera House. The Train Street cafes, where the railway runs a metre from the tables, open and close as the authorities change their minds. Egg coffee was invented here in 1946, bun cha is the lunch, and the water-puppet theatre by the lake is the evening. Hanoi is cool and grey from December to February and hot from May to September; October and November are the months.

The price covers Guided walking tour and Licensed local guide. It does not cover Food and beverages and Hotel pickup and drop-off, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

The meeting point and time are emailed as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date before treating your booking as final. If the date cannot be confirmed we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

An absolutely fantastic experience with Chris! Chris was extremely professional, authentic, enthusiastic, and very knowledgeable about Hanoi’s history and culture. He spoke good French, which made the visit especially enjoyable and easy for our whole family. What made the tour truly special was his ability to take us beyond the usual tourist sites. He knew where to find unusual, hidden, and authentic places that we would never have discovered on our own. He also introduced us to local specialties, including traditional egg coffee and ice cream. Chris was friendly, attentive, and passionate thr

The price does not cover food and beverages and hotel pickup and drop-off. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Unless the option says private, this runs as a small group. The operator caps it rather than filling a coach, and if you want it to yourselves the private option is priced separately on this page.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
Guided walking tour, Licensed local guide
The duration of the French Quarter Walking Tour with Local Guide in Hanoi is typically 3 hours. We recommend arriving 15 minutes before the scheduled start time for a smooth check-in. Your guide will meet you at the designated meeting point and ensure the experience runs on schedule while remaining flexible to your pace.
For most experiences, we highly recommend an early morning start. This allows you to avoid the midday heat, bypass the largest crowds, and capture the best lighting for photography. Your guide can advise on the optimal timing based on the season and specific attractions included.
Yes, once your booking is completed via our secure payment gateway, you will receive an instant confirmation email with your tour details, meeting point address, guide's name, and direct contact information. You can also view and manage your booking through your AsiaByLocals account dashboard.
Yes! All our private tours are fully customizable. Whether you want to add extra stops, skip certain locations, change the pace, or adjust the start time — simply let your guide know in advance or on the day. We aim to create a personalized experience tailored to your interests and energy level.
We offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before the scheduled start time for a full refund. Cancellations within 24 hours may be subject to a partial charge depending on the tour type. Weather-related cancellations for outdoor and boat tours are handled on a case-by-case basis, with full refunds or free rebooking offered when safety is a concern.

However, some tours involving extensive walking, water activities, or early morning starts may be better suited for children aged 5 and above. Please check the specific tour description for age recommendations, or contact us for personalized family itinerary advice.
