Just got back from Hanoi myself. What an amazing place! Highly recommend. Why crossing the street takes some getting use to, it’s actually very safe and a beautiful symphony of controlled chaos.

Great review of Hanoi, a city I really enjoy! I was in Hanoi twice for a month each time both in the Winter (Pre covid) and the summer (post covid). I actually preferred the winter as the cooler temperatures meant that I could walk and explore much longer than in August when the heat slowed me down. Halong Bay was amazing and definitely recommend 2 nights. Thanks again for a great overview of Hanoi.

Thank you Ryan and Emily for bringing Hanoi to our living room. Now my family and I can say we roughly know what to expect if we do visit Hanoi in the near future. All thanks to The Snail Travelers ❤👍

Yummy food and thank for your share ! good luck my friend !👍

So cool! Hanoi (and Vietnam as a whole) looks really interesting. I love that you showed some aspects that I haven't seen in many other videos (eg. water puppets). We really want to go to Vietnam in the not too distant future ... and we may be much closer to Vietnam very soon.

I've learned to love riding in Hanoi. It's more like walking in the mall than driving a car. It's really intuitive and you definitely can have equal amounts of trust and awareness

Great video. I love how you lay out each section and completely go through it. Made me want to go!

Cute start to the video 😊 Wonderful video. Enjoy your calming way you both explain everything. Very nice. Look forward to more of your videos

Hi Ryan and Emily, with love from your Malaysian fan and subscriber here 🇲🇾

Love this video. We are heading to Hanoi in a few months. I'm actually looking forward to crossing those crazy streets 😂. Thanks for the dining recommendations. The Airbnb prices you showed are a bit lower than what we are seeing recently for a one bedroom. However, perhaps we are going at a busier time of year. Thanks again for all of the ideas and showing us what to expect.

Thank you for the video..we love hanoi so much..,will be back visit again this december 2023

Thank u for this wonderful video n for your explorations n thoughts on Hanoi.

I live in Hanoi and the only problem that I find in the city is that it is not very pedestrian friendly.

It's true that there are no traffic laws that the civilians obey. But if you live here long enough then you'll notice the traffic is nothing and the way it works is like school of fish swimming around each other in the sea. It works really well, even with all the pedestrians.

I have not been to Vietnam and am so tempted to visit, especially the Halong Bay!

I’m totally sold on trying Bun Cha now! Your description made it sound so mouth-watering! Any recommendations for a must-try dish or spot for other travelers in Hanoi?

Enjoyed watching your video. You have great sense of humor 😊

Thank you for your great content.

Another great video. Thanks!

Have you been to Ho Chi Minh? I think the traffic is even worse.

Love your videos! Thank you.

Nice job guys, very informative.

Nice video. Very informative. I was on the fence about Ha long bay when visiting Hanoi but might visit there now.

Great videosnail travellers - Hanoi looks a great place to explore.

I love the traffic in Hanoi 😅 I never had any trouble with my motorbike. You just need time in rush hour 😋

Well done! Two questions: 1. Did you do a day trip or overnight trip to Ha Long Bay? 2. Where's the best area to stay for a month, central to most everything? Hope you two are doing well. We'll be back in SE Asia in early 2024.

I've visited Hanoi three times since November, 2022, latest being August, 2023. First, pho is pronounced "fuh," not "fOH!" Secondly, traffic is awful - as it is in other large Vietnamese cities like Ho Chi Minh City. And, yes, when it's convenient, sidewalks are used as a road substitute. I'm surprised there was no mention of Hanoi air quality which is regularly in the top 5 of "worst in the world." All those scooters take a toll! If one has respiratory and/or cardiac difficulties, the Hoan Kiem area is NOT a good destination. And, finally, Ha Long Bay. I did a 3D/2N "cruise" (quotes intended as the we were actually underway maybe a total of 30 minutes the entire time. The boats move to a spot, drop anchor, and SIT!) The area is SO crowded, activities like kayaking, beach, and village visits are about as intimate and entertaining as sitting in rush hour traffic on a Los Angeles freeway. I recommend SEEING Halong/Lan Ha Bays (Lan Ha is generally part of the overnight ships' itinerary), but take a day cruise. You'll not only save 100's of dollars (my 3D/2N excursion was $490 single/$770 couple), you'll see just as much. Enjoyed your review.

People either love or super hate Hanoi. Hanoi so nice. If you get used to the annoying motorbike taxi drivers and when you left the train station with all the touts.

$1,100 to $1,300 is very reasonable. I think you forgot to add medical insurance and or seeing a doctor if you become ill. When I do my dental work, it cost me about $20-$25 for a deep cleaning, Eyeglasses are reasonable. I bring my eye prescription and I have 2-4 pairs of eyeglasses made. ( good price )

Thank you new subscriber here. How long would you suggest for Halong Bay.

Awesome. Thank you.

I love Saigon only ! Thanks

I would advise Vietnam newbies to not spend too much time in Hanoi and HCMC. The larger cities in that country are not its strong suit.

Are there good museums on the history and culture of Vietnam? And explaining the differences between the North and South of Vietnam?

Hi.. we had been traveling Vietnam for 3 weeks now. We started in Saigon we found the traffic is crazy.. Well I take it back too lol .As we are now in Hanoi I booked a hotel in Old quarter as it is the recommendation to get picked up for our trip to Ha Long Bay. We feel so dangerous to walk in old district of Hanoi, no respect for pedestrians, the honking get into your nerves after awhile. I’m from the Philippines the traffic there is also crazy in some areas but Hanoi is to the next level, We will not come back to Hanoi. We love Da Nang we will go back there with our kids and grand kids. Hanoi is not for us. Just my honest opinion.

Hi good day to you,iam Malaysian...do you missed Cameron highland 😅

How walkable is Hanoi for older people?

What other places are less expensive?

5:30 expensive? for mac and cheese? that is less than $2 with the 10% sales tax included. What does it cost where you are from?

👍

Crazy traffic in Vietnam. A fact for all travelers 😂

The bun cha you show there is actually not the traditional bun cha

does it rain on dec?

Bun Cha what you said on video, i dont know what is it, but IT'S NOT BUN CHA

It's pronounces "fuh"

Nobody got kill crossing the street in Hanoi 😂. U just keep walking slowly never stop . The bicycles will move around u.

Again, are you able to find a good sushi restaurant in Hanoi?😂

Pho=Fa

Annoy, is Extremely Annoying......you can have it pal....VC Still very active there..check your history.

Hanoi is the worst part of vietnam. Literally everywhere else is better

I can't believe you live in Vietnam and still pronounce PHO as "FO." It's "fuh!"

As a Vietnamese, it is embarrassing to admit that everything in Vietnam is unregulated, except that speaking ill of the government is absolutely punishable. So enjoy at your own peril.
