Visit the Mausoleum of the nation's founder and leader. Here, large crowds gather to pay their respects to the man they simply call Uncle Ho as they silently file past his glass sarcophagus, Uncle Ho's wooden stilt house and Ho Chi Minh Museum can also be seen here. One of the must-see places in the complex is the One Pillar pagoda dating back to the 11th century. From a distant view, its shape looks like a giant lotus flower.

The next stop is the Temple of Literature, Vietnam's oldest university dedicated to one of the World's most famous scholars.

After that, visit Ngoc Son temple and take a tour around the Old quarter through its streets which are named after the guilds that used to represent such as Hang Bac (Silver Street), Hang Gai (Silk Street), Hang Tre (Bamboo Street), etc.…, Dong Xuan Market - which was Hanoi's largest indoor market.

Street food is everywhere in Vietnam. It's fresh, fast, and rich in flavors.

You will have an evening venture to discover the street food scene in Hanoi's Old Quarter, where it feels like you are never further than a few meters from a street food stall or fresh food vendor. Your guide talks you through the ingredients and the different herbs of each dish while you are crouching on tiny plastic stools in a back alley. Sample dishes like nom du du (green papaya salad with dried beef), banh mi pa te (a sandwich that reflects Vietnam's culinary heritage), and the famous Hanoi dish bun cha (charcoal-grilled pork patties with vermicelli noodles and herbs). For dessert, you have the choice between Banh Troi tau (pretty mini dumplings with a chunk of palm sugar at their heart) or fresh fruit served in a cup and filled with crushed iced and condensed milk. Finish the evening with a big hoi (a particular type of draft beer) on Ta Hien Street. Unlike canned or bottled beer, this light and refreshing beer should be consumed the day after leaving the factory.

After breakfast, transfer to the airport or to another city to continue your tour.
