Amazing Food Tour - Ella’s tour was incredible. Ella was funny and informative. I learned a lot about Vietnam and Vietnamese food, and most importantly, I ate some amazing food. We had coffee and banh mi, but we also tried a number of dishes that I never would have considered ordering had Ella not arranged it. I don’t think I would have tried dry pho if it wasn’t for Ella and I’m so glad I did because it ended up being one of the best things I ate. I can’t imagine a better tour guide than Ella. If you’re looking for a food tour in Hanoi, look no further. Book this tour.

Superb food tour in the Old Quarter - Had a great food tour experience with Ella’s colleague Tony. He was very engaging, knowledgeable, informative, and friendly during the 2.5-3hr walking tour. The food we tried was delicious and he gave a great background into the dishes. He also gave insight into the surrounding spots in the Old Quarter as we walked around. Highly recommend Tony and Ella’s Hanoi Food Tour.

Loved the food tour - Our food tour with Ella was amazing! She is hilarious and informative. You can tell she really loves what she does and loves to share Vietnamese culture. She felt more like a sister to us in our group and that always adds a great vibe to the tour. All the food was delicious and very different from what we've ever had in the states. Thank you again to Ella for the great food and vibes!
