This walking tour lasts about three to four hours and is led by a local English-speaking guide who picks you up from a hotel within the Old Quarter. After a brief introduction, the group sets out on foot to explore the area around Hoan Kiem Lake and nearby streets known for their food stalls and family-run eateries, many with sidewalk seating. The tour includes sampling about eight different traditional dishes such as steamed pancakes (banh cuon), noodle soups (pho), and egg coffee (cafe trung).

Before the tour ends, participants enjoy a cup of egg coffee at the original cafe known for this specialty. Afterward, the guide either returns the group to their hotel or points out a route to continue exploring Hanoi on foot.
