Unique things to do in Hanoi

Hanoi is charming and beautiful capital city of Vietnam. If you plan to visit Vietnam, Hanoi should be the first stop. There are so many things to see and do in Hanoi, but people normally do the same things at the same time such as the typical city tour, cyclo ride, water puppet show, which are quite boring.

Vivutravel are local tour operator in Hanoi, we see the problems and would like to give you some suggestions for the unique things to do as below:

1. Hanoi street food tour:  The street foods in Hanoi are the best and going on this exciting tour, you can walk to explore the old streets, tiny alleys of the old quarter and taste the best dishes like the local. Pho - the rice noodle soup, Bun Cha, Cha Ca are so good and highly recommended, but Bun Dau Mam Tom, Balut or Snail are really challenge. Hanoi street food tour is so exciting with lots of fun and this is the best way to understand Vietnamee cuisine, culture and lifestyle.

2. Drink snake wine: 5 km from the old quarter, Le Make snake village is the most famous village in Vietnam for breading snakes. If you dare, just visit and order a snake for lunch or dinner. Snake wine from fresh blood is supposed to be good for men while snake meat is good for born and good health. 

3. Ride a motorbike: Vietnam is the country of million motorbikes. Traffic looks terrible but if you know how are the rules, things are easy. Riding a motorbike in Hanoi is an unforgettable experience. With the guide and motorbike, you can visit the nice places of Hanoi where tourists hardly come to. During the tour, it is possible to sit down and try some local foods. All in all, this is really a unique thing to do in Hanoi and Vietnam.

4. Early morning Hanoi tour: Hanoi is most beautiful in early morning when it is quiet and peaceful. Around Hoan Kiem lake, the local people gather to do morning exercises, dance or practise Tachi. Let's join them! The tour finishes with a bowl of rice noodle soup and a cup of coffee. The tour experience is like no other.
