Experience fun and safe food that locals enjoy! - We had a great experience today on our walking foodie tour. Just like other reviewers said, it was a lot of food to eat. But all of it was delicious! I would recommend this for first timers into Hanoi to get to know the layout of the city and the new dishes that are available. But even if you’ve been to Hanoi a few times I’m sure this would be a new experience for you. Every city in Vietnam has their own special cuisine and famous dishes. Be sure ti catch this tour so you won’t miss out!

Loads of food, don't eat before! - Great guide, Huyen was incredibly engaged and had loads of info on food, culture and a bit of history. I strongly recommend to skip breakfast because there is so much food to taste and it truly feels bad not to eat up. We did not go to trainstreet which was not much of an issue to me since I can fit it in another time but it should have been communicated before. The guides are students who need to earn an extra buck to finance their life here. So don't forget to tip a little extra if you feel like doing, probably money well spent.

The food and guide was incredible - We went with my boyfriend on this tour and it was amazing. The food was delicious, out guide Huyền Iris was very nice and friendly. She took us to some local places where we tried new things. She explained us a lot about Vietnamese culture and life in this country. I can definitely recommend this tour to everybody who shows themselves in Ha Noi.

We had the best day! - My husband and I booked this tour very last minute after being moved around by a few other tour companies. It was just the two of us and we had such a great time. Our tour guide, Iris, was lovely and we had a great time talking with her as we ate the great food. She took us to so many places we would never have gone to if it was just us. All of the food was fresh, delicious and we were so full by the end. Definitely recommend doing this tour!

Minh was a great tour guide - Minh was an amazing tour guide who took us to 7 different places to try different dishes. We wouldn’t have done this by ourselves so we are glad we booked this tour. Minh spoke good English and explained the history behind the dishes and general facts about Hanoi. We also met other travellers which was fun. Would definitely recommend!

Perfect local food experience - We had a great time with the great guide Vy! She was very charming and we learned so much about the food but also about the language, which gave us a great laugh! All the food was really delicious and inspired us much for our lasting time in Vietnam. As the final highlight we visited the Train Street for relaxing drinks. Definitely a big recommendation!

Great tour - The tour was great. Minh was very patient and was able to understand and answer all the questions we had. We learnt a bit about the city, the culture and, more important, how cross the street without the fear of getting run over. It was great

Great vegan tour - Amazing tour! The guide also catered to my diet (vegan) and all the food was amazing! With the last stop at train street at night it is also a good way to finish the tour. Thank you again!

This tour exceeded our expectations - We expected to only eat the most common dishes, but we had a great experience tasting new and different Vietnamese food we didn’t know about. The whole tour was definitely worth the price. And our guide Minh was the best! Very friendly and also flexible in adjusting the itinerary a bit to our wishes. Also making sure there was a nice spot available for us on the busy train street. It didn’t feel like a tour, but more like a local friend showing you around the city :) highly recommend!
