Observe skilled chefs as they prepare these delicacies.  

Continue deeper into the heart of the old town, where the street stalls reflect Hanoi’s unchanged local life from over 1,000 years ago. Indulge in barbeque specialties at outdoor stalls, enjoying perfectly grilled meat, vegetables, and bread enhanced by the smoky flavors of hot coals.

Your guide will also take you to one of Hanoi’s hidden culinary gems, a tucked-away street food restaurant where you’ll get to try top-rated local favorites such as Banh My, Vietnam rice wine, and the famous egg coffee. If coffee isn’t your preference, a refreshing cold beer awaits!  

Wrap up the evening with a Water Puppet Show at Thang Long Theatre, a captivating cultural performance that showcases Vietnam’s artistic heritage. After the show, you can continue exploring at your own pace or have the guide escort you back to your hotel for a restful overnight stay in Hanoi.
