Great walking tour to know Vietnamese cuisine - Our food guide Trung, who is friendly and cheerful, and speaks well. The night tour is not so hot… and the food recommendations were good. Most of the famous Vietnamese dishes and drinks were introduced and tried. And the walk was manageable and all within walking distance… great for digestion.

Great experience with Tom - We had an amazing experience on the Vietnamese food tour with Tom! Despite the rain, Tom expertly navigated us through the city, ensuring we tried all the planned dishes. His knowledge of Vietnamese cuisine was impressive, and he shared fascinating insights into the cultural significance of each dish. We sampled the most iconic and delicious Vietnamese foods, and Tom's enthusiasm was infectious. The tour was well-organized, and Tom's passion for food and culture made for a fantastic experience. Highly recommend this tour - rain or shine!

Great experience in the heart of Hanoi Old Quarter - The course was perfect! Our guide Chung introduced us to many places little known to tourists. We tasted several local specialties according to his recommendations and our desires (green papaya salad, eel noodle soup, kumquat tea, coconut ice cream with fresh mango, steam sticky rice, egg coffee, bun cha...). That was delicious. A very good way to discover Hanoi. Thanks Chung!

This was an ok experience - Not quite sure why we went to the “speak easy” or through a back ally location that the guide said had many rats. Most of the food was very good.
