Experience Night tours in the best of
Hanoi with Withlocals

"Taking a nighttime tour of Hanoi with Lien was easily one of the highlights of my trip! Having already done one tour with her, I knew I was in good hands. Her warm, relaxed temperament makes exploring the city feel like hanging out with a knowledgeable local friend. We navigated vibrant shopping streets and dipped into hidden back alleys to sample incredible local food. Everything was delicious, but the kem xôi (sticky rice ice cream) was an absolute standout—so good that I immediately bookmarked the spot to come back to on my own! Finishing the night taking in all the energy at Train Street was the perfect finale to a great evening. Lien is such a phenomenal guide that this 2nd tour with her immediately convinced me to book a 3rd for the very next day. "

"Had a wonderful tour with Lien. She was very responsive and took time to curate an itinerary to meet my dietary restrictions. Sadly, I was unwell but my traveling companion had dinner and drinks with Lien. She said it was more like meeting a friend for dinner vs meeting a tour guide. Lien was happy to share her love of Hanoi and provided insights into other spots to try, which were delicious. Highly recommend. "

"Lien was a superior guide. She was flexible when it came to what our group wanted to eat. The tour was great not only because of the food we tried BUT also Lien answered all our questions on Vietnamese culture, history and Hanoi. She was very engaging and patient with our questions. She also gave us recommendations on other restaurants to try. Excellent experience. "

"As we only have a few days in Hanoi it was very nice to get the tips from Lien. We have enjoyed lovely local dishes and drinks, had great conversations and learned how to manoeuver the busy streets of Hanoi. We would recommend this tour to everyone who visits Hanoi for the first time. Thank you Lien!"

"Lien taught me a ton about Vietnam in just a few hours! I learned about the food, history, culture, religion, and economy. Her passion is really awesome. I definitely recommend a tour with her."

"We did the 3 Drinks and 3 Bites tour with Lien and it was absolutely fantastic! Every stop was delicious and authentic—truly off the beaten path. Lien was the perfect host: friendly, informative, and clearly passionate about sharing her city. She gave us great local tips and cultural background that really enriched the experience. What impressed us even more was her generosity—she continued to help us the next day with follow-up questions we had. That level of care is rare and deeply appreciated. If you want to experience Hanoi like a local and feel genuinely welcomed, book a tour with Lien. It was one of the highlights of our trip! Thanks again Lien, from Marc, Chris & The Kids"

"She was supersweet and original in her tour 🏆"

"Lien is so absolutely amazing, I could not write a review good enough to describe her. Kind, knowledgeable, and fun with a great connection and relationship with her community and fantastic taste in food. She shows you where to eat, what to eat, how to eat and the history behind the dishes all in easy and smooth conversation. Great mix of cuisine and drinks on her tour. She does an amazing job of making sure you hit all the foods and spots you might not otherwise find and know. Beyond that she was helpful in providing us with knowledge to make our time outside of her tour enjoyable as well. Hanoi has the food you instantly fall in love with and Lien is the person."

"We wanted to learn more about the food and drinks in Hanoi. Lien was excellent!! She was on time, knowledgeable, passionate and flexible in adjusting to our wishes. She made our stay in Hanoi special and we highly recommend Lien!"

"This was my second trip to Hanoi and my partner and I spent an evening with Brian on his walking tour. Great guy who is very knowledgeable about Vietnamese history. First stop was a roof top bar with views across the city. We then explored local street food vendors trying the infamous Banh Mi, a chicken and rice dish and grilled quail eggs. Without Brian’s recommendations we probably wouldn’t have stopped at these place. They were definitely popular with locals and worth a stop . We also visited a quirky bar serving a flaming Pho cocktail and then onto the Pasteur Craft Beer bar to try out a beer flight of three local beers. The passion fruit and Jasmine IPA’s were the favourite. We would definitely recommend the tour with Brian. "
