Escape to Hai Phong for delicious food & hidden gems beyond Hanoi
If you want to get away from Hanoi’s busy crowds and explore somewhere different, this day trip out to Hai Phong is perfect. Sometimes called a ‘mini Hanoi’, its reminiscent of Vietnam’s capital city several decades ago, with a more laid back coastal vibe. And the best way to experience it is through its food, especially the fresh local seafood!This private journey takes you deep into Hai Phong's local neighbourhoods and markets, where you’ll taste a wide range of authentic specialties - from rich crab noodle soup (Bánh Đa Cua) and spicy seafood dishes (Bún Cá Cay) to street bites like Bánh Mỳ Cay. Along the way, you’ll wander through bustling local markets as your guide will share stories, ingredients, and local secrets behind each dish.Beyond the food, you'll explore the city's cultural and historical landmarks visit spiritual landmarks like Ba De Temple, or head out to Do Son Beach for sea views. A highlight is the elegant Bao Dai Villa (Dinh Bảo Đại), where you’ll step into the world of Vietnam’s last emperor while overlooking the coastline.Since this is a private tour, you get to travel at your own pace with a dedicated guide and private transport. Let your Seek Sophie guide know what you prefer - whether that means exploring more street food, adding cultural stops, or just enjoying a more relaxed day by the coast. Perfect for food lovers, or anyone looking for a unique, personalised day trip beyond Hanoi.TipsCome hungry!
