Full description
This is a 3.5-hour experience in Hanoi, built around Phin bar by refined, Hanoi Old Quarter and Blackbird Coffee. 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.

Traveler Reviews
The tour was wonderful, very reasonably priced as it includes all of the coffee and food you're going to eat. My guide Alex was fantastic. He actually reached out before to ask if I had anything to do before or after and if I needed to end in a certain place since I ended up being the only one on this tour. He's also open to flexing what types of food spots you go to depending on your taste, for me coffee was the main focus of this tour but towards the end I really wanted a banh mi sandwich instead of his original plan, so he actually pivoted and I had a great banh mi instead. He was really fr
Such an amazing tour, great tour guide, great food and coffee, we learned so many things we all loved it!
I really enjoyed this tour, you’ll discover excellent hidden coffee spots around Hanoi as well as the chance to try new street foods and learn more about Vietnamese culture. A great starting point for your first trip to Hanoi. Come hungry!
Great afternoon tasting coffee and eating some local favourites Alex was a great guide, knows his stuff and made the experience really enjoyable
This coffee walking tour in Hanoi was a real highlight of my trip. Lyon was an excellent guide—knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about both coffee and the city. We visited a great mix of coffee shops, from popular spots to hidden gems tucked away down small alleys that I never would have found on my own. Along the way, Lyon shared helpful tips on tasting and preparing Vietnamese coffee, explaining different styles and brewing methods in an approachable, engaging way. The tour went beyond coffee, capturing the beating heart of Hanoi itself. Walking between stops, we experienced vi
Sehr gut! Wir hatte einen sehr tollen Kaffee und Workshop!
I joined the Walking Coffee Tour in Hanoi and it was such a fun and unique experience. Our guide Jason was very friendly and shared lots of interesting stories about Hanoi’s coffee culture. We visited several local coffee shops, and each one was so different and special in its own way. These were the kinds of places you would never find on your own. It was the perfect way to explore the city, learn something new, and enjoy amazing coffee along the way. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience the real local side of Hanoi.
Great and fun experience with Lyon on the coffee cafes and food hopping journey. Coffee making demos and explanation by in house barrister at Refined Cafe. Also gotto know from Lyon on the growing coffee culture and biz in Hanoi. Was also brought to local fav foodhunts between the coffee tasting helped cleanse taste palette. Highly recommend for those wishing to know more about coffee in Hanoi👍🏻
This was hands down one of the must-do activities in Hanoi! The tour gave us a chance to discover the city’s hidden soul through its most authentic ritual — coffee. I was amazed by the variety of specialty coffee from around the world that we got to try, each cup with its own unique story and flavor. The highlight for me was the best egg-yolk coffee in Hanoi at Black Bird coffee — rich, creamy, and unforgettable. Beyond the coffee, the tour offered a deep cultural experience from exploring a century-old heritage french villa to wandering through Đồng Xuân Market and soaking in the vibrant stre
