Highlights
  • Old Quarter - We start our excellent street food walking tour at 78a Tran Nhat Duat Street at Kim Tours’s Building in old quarter of Hanoi. Along the perimeter of the market, dozens of street hawkers sell a staggering variety of produce from live seafood to exotic fruits and spices. Your expert English-speaking local guide will give you an insight into the intricacies and traditions of Vietnamese food culture including details on ingredients and historical backgrounds of popular northern dishes. We eat as we go, trying seasonal fruits and sampling a tasty French-inspired snack from a street cart. Walking through the maze of bustling streets that make up Hanoi’s Old Quarter, we tempt our tastebuds with the famed Hanoi dish Banh Cuon at a local eatery. Watch in awe as the skilled chefs demonstrate for you how this tasty dish is put together. Continuing into the atmospheric heart of the Old Quarter, we wander past street stalls and quiet residential lanes where you can observe local life

Good tour good food and a good host. - Really enjoyed this tour. We had 7 stops at small local eateries having taste's of different Vietnamese food including local pancake, beef noodle soup, sweet donuts and egg coffee. It gave us the chance to visit the type of places we might not have visited on our own. The tour was well led by our host, Sarah who was friendly and knowledgeable. We had a couple of Europeans on the tour who were also good company which made for a pleasant evening. Plenty of good food and some interesting insights into Vietnamese life from Sarah.

Best day ever :) - My partner and I had the best day ever in Hanoi because of this tour. Our tour guide Summi took us to such awesome spots that we would not have known about and she explained so much to us about the wonderful history of Hanoi. We felt like locals for the day :) I will definitely be recommending this tour to friends and family who are wanting to visit Vietnam! Thanks again Summi, you were amazing!!!

An amazing day in Hanoi - My partner and I booked a private tour with Sunni. I am definitely not someone with experience on a scooter so I was somewhat apprehensive before beginning our tour… however wanted to explore all Hanoi had to offer. From the very first moment, Sunni made me me feel comfortable and at ease. I instantly felt safe travelling by scooter (in fact safer than walking as a pedestrian) not a detail was missed throughout the tour! Not only did we try amazing local street food which we would never of discovered alone however it felt as if we had a private sightseeing tour. It was honestly one of the most incredible experiences of my life. Such a highlight of our trip and it’s only been day 2! I highly recommend this your to anyone wanting to explore the city like a true local. Thank you so much Sunni and Tracey!!!

Massive fun with great guide - Whilst we live in Hanoi, we thought it would be fun to explore the city on a food tour and check out some of the places we might not be brave enough to try on our own! Our English speaking guide was called Moon, and she was awesome. Think we ended up going to 7 different places, and we were left super happy, full, and with loads of great insights. So recommended both for tourists (whenever COVID travel restrictions are lifted), and those who live here. .... we have pre-teen kids. They loved some of the dishes, but a few weren’t to their taste. However, our guide was great at finding other options that worked for them

Our first experience in Vietnam and immediately a highlight. - We arrived in Hanoi and our first night we started with this street food tour. When you just arrive in the old quarter, it is difficult to choose the good options for dinner. This tour was the perfect solution. Violet, our guide, showed as around in the old quarter and let us taste some of the best street food dishes. We did seven or eight stops, and the food was everywhere excellent. Besides this, Violet also teached us how to cross the streets in Vietnam, which was a great help the next couple of days! :)

Not recommend! - It started fishy and just went bed. We started the tour at some fishy tour agency, the tour guide was not knowledgeable at all and walk with her pajama. We just went from one place to place, no explanation and barley any interaction from the guide. One of our friends could not have pork, and mentioned it again and again. However, in the end with one of the dishes had pork…
