Hanoi’s Old Quarter Free Tour Through Train Street
Overview of the tour in Hanoi
We’re Nam, Van, Lisa, and Julia—a group of young locals who can speak English very well and all have a Professional Tour Guide Certificate. Having called Hanoi home for over twenty years, we’ve got a deep love for this city and all its hidden gems.
Our goal is to explore the ancient 2,700-year history of the Vietnamese people, with their tradition of nation-building and defense, along with legendary stories that enrich the Vietnamese soul. To discover the everyday material life of the locals and the rich spiritual life reflected in ancestor worship, as well as the practices of visiting temples and pagodas among the Vietnamese. And to experience the fascinating blend of old Hanoi’s architecture, the mix of Eastern and Western cultures, and the fresh vibes of modern Hanoi.
