Old Quarters
Explore Hanoi your way with our collection of self-guided walks combined with guided walks led by local experts. Our flexible 72-hour pass allows travellers to explore the cultural, social and political dynamics of the Vietnamese capital and hear the fascinating stories behind each landmark.
Meet the local expert at the Water Puppet Theatre, the starting point of the tour.
