tour details
The old quarter of Hanoi forms the core of the legendary “Hanoi of 36 guild streets” where goods and crafts were traded in specialized streets formed by traders and artisans from clans and villages all over the country. In the course of their migration to the city, they brought along their culture, habits and local delicacies that were gradually adopted in the Hanoians’ way of life. Therefore, it is here that the street food scene is overwhelming and should not be missed.
