The 4 Tastings of the Old Quarter
About 3 hours, evening
Graze the east side with a licensed local guide: bia hoi corner, grill smoke, noodle steam and the dessert carts, at the pace of your appetite. Food stops are chosen for taste and honesty of price, and the route adjusts to your dietary needs.
4 Guild Streets: Silk, Silver and Festival Crafts
About 4 hours, morning
Watch the guild streets work: silk measured on Hang Gai, silver weighed on Hang Bac, lantern colour on Hang Ma. A walk for people who love how things are made, with time to buy directly from the makers.
The 4 Working Streets of the Old Quarter
About 3 hours, morning
The quarter tourists miss: herb shops of Lan Ong, tin and copper hammering, fabric and rattan. Slow, curious and uncrowded, this is the working Old Quarter of today.
Plan My Hanoi: the 45 Minute Consult
Video call, about 45 minutes
Bring your dates and your wishlist. Suzy reviews your plan with you, marks the map, and tells you plainly what to skip. Written summary after the call, bookings only when you ask for them.
Old Quarter, Your Way
Half day or full day, built around you
The blank page experience: your theme, your pace, your streets. Suzy drafts the route, you adjust it, and a licensed guide walks it with you.
How booking works
1. Message the channel on WhatsApp or Messenger with your dates, your group size and what you love. Tell us any dietary needs (vegetarian, halal, allergies), spice limits, kids' ages and how fast you like to walk, so the plan fits you from the start.
2. Bao Son Travel, a licensed travel company, replies with a plan and a written price with everything included.
3. You confirm and pay the company directly. A licensed guide leads your day, and Suzy joins as your host when the schedule allows.
This page and this channel never take bookings or payments in chat, and never quote prices. Prices live in the written quote from the company, so they can be checked line by line.
Your seller, on paper
The license is listed under the same number on the national tourism database. Channel questions still start with Suzy on WhatsApp or Messenger when the lines open; the company details above are here so you can check exactly who sells your tour before any money moves.
Plan your inquiry
Pick a date and a group size, tell us what to plan around, and the planner writes the message for you. You send it when the chat lines open, nothing is booked here.

Nothing is booked and nothing is stored on this website. Send this message on WhatsApp now, or on Messenger when its line opens with the channel launch. We reply within 12 hours, and Bao Son Travel sends your written quote. Prices are never quoted in chat.
Questions visitors ask us
I am vegetarian. Will I eat well?
Yes. Tell us when you write, and the route is planned around chay (vegetarian) kitchens and dishes, with allergen and spice notes for every stop.
We have young kids. Is it suitable?
Morning and early evening walks suit families best. Routes can be shortened, rest stops added, and the spiciest dishes swapped out.
How and when do I pay?
Only after you accept the written quote, and always to Bao Son Travel directly, never to a person in chat. The quote lists what is included, line by line.
What if it rains?
Light rain rarely stops a walk in Hanoi, and ponchos are easy to find. If the weather turns severe, the company will agree a new time with you under the terms in your written quote.
Is Suzy our guide?
A licensed guide leads your day, as the law requires. Suzy designs the routes and joins as your host when her schedule allows.
How fast do we walk?
At your pace. Routes are short, stops are frequent, and any stop can be skipped. Tell us about mobility needs when you write and the plan will adapt.
