Visiting Hanoi Train Street in Hanoi is one of the Best Things To Do to learn and explore Hanoi local life Rather than being a normal road with car or motorbike traffic, it has actual real railway lines running through it. Homes and businesses literally open out onto the railway lines. For the most part, the locals who live and move through there go about their day as with any other Hanoi street. Motorbikes zoom up and down the side of the railway lines. Local ladies cook delicious smelling foods, crouched over their seasoned cooking pots and surrounded by bundles of herbs and other fresh ingredients. Kids run around, crossing the tracks to each other’s houses. Animals snooze peacefully in the daytime sun.

Admission included15 min

After train street, our guide will show you back to hotel/stays in Old Quarter. Say good bye to our guide.

Wonderful Tour! Great Guide!

Our guide Ken was wonderful- he spoke excellent English, and made the tour fun despite the rain! This tour was totally worth while, we could never have found our way to all these places in 3 hours. Honestly you need the guide just to cross the street in Hanoi! Negotiating the streets as a pedestrian is not for the faint of heart. But the sights are worth seeing and we really enjoyed the Salt Coffee on Train Street. Great walking tour. The best way to see the Old Quarter. Also our guide met us at our hotel, that alone was worth it, not to struggle to find a meeting point. Everyone is so nice here! Really enjoyed, 10 out of 10!

Excellent and friendly tour guide.

Minh was a fantastic tour guide who took us to all the best places. He gave us great insights into local culture and tips on where to go next. The pace was great and we saw a lot. Train Street was great and Minh ahowed is where to have lunch and wait to ho back on our own to see the train actually go past. I would highly recommend- excellent value for money.

Hanoi Fantastic City Walking Tour Guide

We were collected by Ken at our hotel and had a private tour. Ken was a fantastic guide with an extensive knowledge of Hanoi and spoke fantastic English. In addition Ken gave further information about Vietnam's history and answered all our questions. Ken made our tour special and I would be happy to recommend him.

Fabulous walking tour

This was a fabulous tour. Frank is a delightful guide, educational, funny and kind. He answered the millions of questions I had with no complaint. I was ready to cut the tour short because it started pouring rain, but he did not miss a beat and never complained. When I finally told him I had enough rain, he made sure to get me safely back to my hotel. I saw someone complained about not having a train go by on train street, but that was not advertised and Frank told me from the outset that we may not actually see the train, but he immediately checked the schedule and adjusted the tour so we could. All I had to do was ask.
