Walk into the heart of Hanoi, the Old Quarter, where every street has a story and tradition thrives in the rhythm of daily life. Unlike other modern districts of the city, this historic “maze” is alive with narrow streets, historic places, and time-honored traditions passed down through generations.
We will meet local artisans at work, explore vibrant local markets, and step into a beautifully preserved traditional house over 130 years old. Each stop reveals a piece of Hanoi’s story, allowing you to feel, hear, touch, and taste everything that we, the locals, have been experiencing in our daily lives.

3. Quan De Temple
Visit the Quan De temple, dedicated to Guan Yu, the god of loyalty and righteousness. This serene stop offers a peaceful moment, with incense-filled air and intricate altars, adding a spiritual layer to your day.

You’ll explore the vibrant stalls, where vendors sell everything from exotic fruits to traditional snacks. If you’re curious, we can try some fresh seasonal fruits, or maybe a challenging snack! (It’s secret)
