Three-Hour Street Food Tour by Scooter Itinerary

1. Welcome & Departure: We'll pick you up at your hotel in the Old Quarter, provide a full safety briefing, and note any special food requests or allergies you might have. Then, our culinary journey begins from Gia Hung Motorbike Rental (41 Ngo Huyen, Hoan Kiem). We'll navigate the narrow streets of the Old Quarter, heading straight to the best street food vendors.
2. First Bites: Indulge in classic dishes like Bun Cha (President Obama's famous choice in Hanoi) and Nom Bo Kho. These authentic delights are served at small, local eateries, often with both indoor and outdoor seating. Your expert English-speaking guide will share fascinating insights into Vietnamese food culture, detailing ingredients and the rich historical backgrounds of popular Northern dishes. We'll savor these treats as we go!
3. Banh Cuon & Old Quarter Exploration: As we weave through the bustling maze of Hanoi's Old Quarter, we'll stop to tantalize our taste buds with the renowned Banh Cuon at a local eatery. Watch in awe as skilled chefs demonstrate how this delicate dish is freshly prepared. Continuing into the atmospheric heart of the Old Quarter, we'll wander past vibrant street stalls and quiet residential lanes, observing local life that has remained largely unchanged for over a thousand years.
4. BBQ & Sweet Treats: Our next two stops are at an lively outdoor barbecue stall. We'll join locals and sample an array of flame-grilled meat, vegetable, and bread specialties, cooked over hot coals for an extra smoky flavor. Then, it’s time for dessert! We'll venture down a small alley to partake in the local tradition of feasting on fresh fruit served in a cup, generously smothered with crushed ice and condensed milk – a true must-try!
5. Hidden Cafe & Farewell: Finally, your local guide will lead you to one of Hanoi’s best-kept secrets: a hidden street food restaurant where you can taste more of Hanoi's top street foods, including Banh Mi Hanoi, Vietnamese Rice Wine, and the famous Egg Coffee. This hard-to-find café is one of the few remaining in the narrow streets of the Old Quarter. If coffee isn't your preference, a refreshing cold beer awaits! At the end of the tour, you're welcome to continue exploring the area on your own, or our guide drivers will gladly drive you back to your hotel.
