Free Walking Tour in the French Quarter - Another Charm
Beyond the bustling streets of the Old Quarter, there is another Hanoi - quieter, deeper, and saturated with history. This walking tour invites you to uncover that hidden layer of the French Quarter, where colonial legacies, political power, and cultural transformation intersect.
Join me on the French Quarter Walking Tour to explore Hanoi from a more analytical and historical perspective. We will step back into the early 20th century, observing how French colonial rule reshaped the city’s architecture, urban planning, and social life - and how those traces still shape modern Hanoi today. This is not just sightseeing; it is reading the city as a historical document.
The tour lasts 2 hours and 45 minutes

Xin Chao!
I am Huyen. I was born and raised in Hanoi.
My passions are always traveling and getting to know fascinating places, meeting people from all over the world, and experiencing top gastronomy linking food and cultures. Over the past few years, I have travelled across Vietnam from ordinary places to exotic spots like Ha Giang and Ca Mau, known as the Northernmost & Southernmost points, and many more!
Vietnamese food has an unique identity and varies in different parts. Believe it or not, northern, middle, and southern food is tasted differently. Also, I have been tried all the top Vietnamese food nationwide and ready to relay all of my knowledge and expertise to you.
Are you ready to come along with me?
I can't wait to show you the city that I love. Cheers!
