Know before you go
Plan your Hanoi experience
When to visit
Hanoi has distinct seasons. Spring and autumn often suit walking, while summer is hot and humid and winter can feel cool and damp.
Getting around
The Old Quarter and central lakes are walkable, but traffic is busy. Taxis, ride-hailing services and guided tours help with longer journeys.
Street awareness
Cross roads steadily and predictably so traffic can move around you. Keep valuables secure in crowded markets and busy streets.
Day trips
Ha Long Bay and Ninh Binh require substantial travel time. Check journey length, pickup location, meals and admission inclusions before booking.

Hanoi tour FAQs
Useful information for comparing and booking the experiences displayed on this page.
Are these tours operated by DiscoverEase Tours?
No. The Hanoi experiences displayed through the GetYourGuide widget are offered by the operators named on their individual activity pages. DiscoverEase Tours helps you discover them and may receive a commission from qualifying bookings.
Where is my booking completed?
Selecting an activity takes you to GetYourGuide, where you can review live availability, prices, inclusions, operator details and cancellation conditions before completing payment.
Which Hanoi tour is best for a first visit?
An Old Quarter and city-highlights tour provides a useful introduction. A food tour is an excellent second experience because it adds local context and places you may not find alone.
Is hotel pickup included?
Pickup varies by activity. Walking and food tours often begin at a fixed meeting point, while some full-day trips collect from selected Old Quarter hotels. Check the individual listing carefully.
How many days should I spend in Hanoi?
Two or three full days works well for the city itself. Add extra days if you also want to visit Ha Long Bay, Ninh Binh or other parts of northern Vietnam.
