18:00: Our tour guide will meet you at your hotel’s lobby and we will start walking around the narrow and crowded streets of the Old Quarter and discover nightlife in the bustling city.
We will first try a bowl of “Pho” - the most well-known beef noodle soup in Vietnam. Either way, you can choose to taste a typical specialty in the South of Vietnam named “Bun Bo Nam Bo”. Then we will drop in a local beer store on the street to enjoy the night atmosphere.
You will have a chance to sit at small chairs and drink “Bia Hoi” - a special kind of draught beer only available in Vietnam - in a big glass like a local. Enjoy it well with the delicious “Nem chua ran” - a kind of Vietnamese pork sausage; and peanut. Here you can also learn how to say “cheers” in Vietnamese style.
Afterwards, enjoy a few minutes walk to get to some bars or pubs nearby inside the busiest corner of Hanoi Old Quarter. We will provide you a list of nice pubs and bars so it will be easier for you to choose out of your favorite: either dynamic discotheques where you can shake your body with loud music and enjoy some alcoholic drinks; or the quieter pubs to have space to chat with your guide deeply about the local life here and make friends with others expats (Drinks are exclusive in the program).
22:00: Get back to your hotel to relax.
The tour operator made this an unforgettable trip as we had a fantastic time. Chris Tran took great care of us, and it was awesome not having to worry about transportation or hotels.
