Nice experience! - Nice trip! 6 spots in total and good amount of food! Very friendly tour guide Albert. Also visited different sights for some history of Hanoi. It’s also a nice timing. Just hope there are more local street snacks we can try during the trip!

A fantastic night out - Albert was lovely and very knowledgeable. Her English was great and she showed us other things of interest other than food. Would highly recommend the tour. It was a great range of food.

Great experience - Fantastic food tour with our amazing guide, Pia! Even though we had visited Vietnam multiple times before, we still got to discover and enjoy several delicious new dishes. Pia was incredibly friendly throughout the tour, always sharing fascinating insights that made the experience even more enriching. She thoughtfully ensured that I had vegetarian options at every stop, which I truly appreciated. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an authentic and flavorful culinary adventure!

Great food tour - Excellent food tour. We visited a great range of food places serving up amazing local food, produced to a high quality. Sophia, our lovely host, added insight to eat location and took us on a journey around the Old Quarter. A very relaxed evening tour ended trying a local cocktail. Thoroughly recommend.

Great way to experience the flavours of Hanoi! - We had a great evening with Sophia. She is very personable and led the tour very well. The selection of food vendors is excellent, it's a good variety of foods, very tasty food and all very clean locations. It's also a great way to see the old town, with a nice trip to a bridge and the market included. Highly recommended!

Amazing foodtour - We had a lovely food tour with our amazing guide Pia! She took extremely well care of us and our dietary preferences (vegetarian), and walked us through the variety of Vietnamese food. Every place we visited was unique with delicious food, well explained and of highest quality. Pia’s amazing hospitality created a fantastic first evening in Hanoi, and we had great pleasure. I can only recommend to book a guided food tour to explore the rich Vietnamese cuisine! We have experienced LostPlate before in other cities, and it’s a very efficient and smooth experience to book, and also very considerate of any special needs!
