Authentic Local Market & Street Food Adventure – Private Guided Tour

09:00 AM – Our adventure begins as your guide meets you at your hotel, ready to embark on a flavorful journey! We’ll start our exploration at Châu Long Market, a traditional wet market bustling with life. Here, you’ll find an impressive array of fresh meat, fish, and vegetables. Despite the rise of supermarkets, locals prefer the authentic shopping experience at places like Châu Long.

As you wander through the market, keep your eyes peeled for the action—motorbikes zip along the narrow aisles, and colorful stalls showcase an abundance of produce. Experience the market’s lively atmosphere as you see workers preparing frogs and discover unique ingredients that go into authentic Vietnamese cuisine. Don’t forget to stop by the street food stalls outside for a taste of com binh dan and bun cha!

After soaking in the sights and sounds of Châu Long Market, we’ll treat you to a small bowl of real Hanoian Pho at a nearby eatery. You’ll savor the rich flavors of this iconic dish that truly represents Hanoi’s culinary heart.

Next, we’ll head to Dong Xuan Market, one of the largest and most popular markets in the city, where locals and tourists alike come to shop. Here, the bustling atmosphere and vibrant street life will captivate you. Your guide will share fascinating stories about the market’s history and recommend hidden food and shopping treasures that you can explore further.

Our tour continues with visits to four additional venues, each offering a unique culinary experience. The tour lasts approximately five hours, concluding with a refreshing Vietnamese ca phe or chè (Vietnamese desert) alongside some delightful local sweets.

3:00 PM – After an unforgettable day of flavors and exploration, your guide will escort you back to your hotel. If you wish, we can also drop you off at the Thanh Long Water Puppet Theater or in the lively Old Quarter, allowing you to continue your day with more activities in town!
