Stop At: Old Quarter, Hanoi 100000 Vietnam

Located in the middle of Ha Noi, a rapidly developing city where changes take place every hour, Ha Noi Old Quarter with its old-styled narrow streets full of antique brick houses seems to nostalgically resist the flow of time while still actively trying to adapt to the dynamic atmosphere of the modern city.

Once a bustling area where merchants and artisans gathered to sell their products, Ha Noi Old Quarter consists of many small, meandering streets, each bears the name of the goods that was specifically traded there such as Hang Bac (Silver Product), Hang Ma (Paper Product), Hang Go (Wood Product), just to name a few.

Visiting this unique historical vestige comfortably lying around Hoan Kiem Lake, tourists get lost in a totally different world from the rest of the city and have the chance to explore the modest but energetic life of the local a hundred years ago, where there were no high-rise buildings, too much traffic or fancy stores; things will get a little bit smaller, as visitors may have used to those skyscrapers and shopping centers in other parts of the city, but not at all less lively and vigorous.

Duration: 3 hours 30 minutes

Pass By: Lake of the Restored Sword (Hoan Kiem Lake), Hanoi 100000 Vietnam

Hoan Kiem Lake, also known as Sword Lake (Lake of the Returned Sword), has a total area of 12 hectares with the north - south length of 700m and the east - west width of 200m. Hoan Kiem Lake is surrounded by streets in Hanoi Old Quarters including Le Thai To street and Dinh Tien Hoang street in the east, and Hang Khay street in the south.

Pass By: Dong Kinh Nghia Thuc Square, Intersection of streets: Le Thai Tong, Dinh Tien Hoang, Cau Go, Hang Dao and Hang Gai, Hanoi 100000 Vietnam

The next stop on the walking tour takes you to Dong Kinh Nghia Thuc Square, a busy and popular public square where festivities often take place. The square – known as the Tonkin Free School Movement Square – is named for a movement that helped ignite Communism in Vietnam. From here, you will step into Hanoi’s historic Old Quarter where the rest of the walking tour will reveal shops, charming alleys and delectable eats.

Our tour had a delayed start as our guide Claudia was in a motorbike accident on her way to work. After assuring us she was well enough to continue we set off on the cyclos. I had Claudia riding with me while my boyfriend was in another cyclo behind us, which unfortunately meant that while I could talk to Claudia and get some information while we travelled he could not. All of the local food stops were places we probably would never have been able to find by ourselves and everything was delicious probably the best banh mi we had anywhere in Vietnam but we were disappointed that there was no real information provided about the Old Quarter or Hanoi in general. Even when we asked about what we could do or sights to see in Hanoi we weren't really given much of anything. Particularly disappointing as Claudia had perfect English so it would have been very easy to learn some of this information from her.

Only trouble was the guide thought we had booked an eating tour and didnt seem to know anything about our expectation of a cyclo ride. He did however give us a very interesting. Tour othe markets brew houses and we did get our cyclo ride.

Our guide arrived late and then he was still trying to organise the cyclo riders which meant we left 15 minutes late yet the tour ended exactly on time. We felt pressurised by the guide who was insistent on us going on some other tours after this tour. My husband's rider kept tapping him on the shoulder in the last 15 minutes saying money for beer all the time, so there was undoubted pressure for a gratuity. It may be better to use riders who are contracted to deliver this service to avoid this type of thing happening. We had done a lot of walking in the Old Quarter and felt that the tour did not add anything to our experience. If you are not a walker then this tour will give you a close view of the Old Quarter. In any event a person could simply call a rider and do this trip without having to work with a guide who actually did nothing except have a ride. Our guide was very pushy at the beginning and end for us to do more with him to the point that it became annoying. We were glad to get rid of him. ou
