Great evening out with Long! - Had a great evening out on the seafood food tour with Long last week. Long was friendly and a great conversationlist, and I really enjoyed all the insights he had on the travel and food scene in Vietnam. The food tastings I had were great too- the highlight for me personally was the bbq seafood roadside stall. Delicious!

Excellent well-led tour with sunflower - Highly recommended! Our tour guide (Sunflower) made this an exceptional experience. She speaks an excellent English and shared so many tips on food and history of Hanoi. She took us for three hours tour around the old quarter and we went to places we would never have visited if we were alone! I recommend doing this tour as early as possible during your trip to Hanoi. Also, don’t be afraid of trying the dishes that are offered to you during this tour as all were delicious! After the tour, sunflower shared the list of dishes and places we have visited. The Egg coffee was amazing!

Excellent evening with Sunflower - We spent a wonderful evening walking through the streets of the old quarter tasting 7 dishes and an unplanned stop for Bia Hoi (which I had enquired about and was put into the schedule! Much appreciated). The food was amazing and the walking made it much more comfortable to manage all of the dishes. Sunflower was a friendly, informative and great guide with s real passion for food. The trip, on our first day of 7 in Vietnam had made us much more confident to eat at the local stalls. Wonderful tour - would highly recommend

Book with Kelly! She’s honest and simply the best! - We booked the seafood tour with Kelly. We’re from California, near Garden Grove/Westminster where we eat the usual viet cuisine often (pho, spring rolls, banh xeo, etc). The seafood tour allowed us to try street food that is regional to Hanoi that you can’t usually get elsewhere. Kelly was awesome! Couldn’t recommend her more. Very professional, knowledgeable and honest. Right off the bat, you can tell how genuine she was - she takes you to spots that are safe but also where the locals frequent. My dad grew up in a nearby town so he could tell if it was a tourist trap or not. She gives enough facts without boring you. She’ll also tell you upfront why she’s suggesting a certain spot/stall/restaurant. It was mostly local joints with 1-2 high end/chain places. We loved Kelly so much that we requested her for another custom private tour the next day. Food we tried: - shrimp pancake - fried oysters - fried eel noodle soup - streamed rice rolls - fried fish - spider crab, king crab - snails (this was surprisingly the best because of the dipping sauce)
