Hanoi private food tour - We had a lovely time with a young girl who took us on a private tour of great cafe and street food in Hanoi. We tasted delicious foods and drinks ranging from Bahn mi to sticky rice icecream. We learnt about and tasted drinks like fresh beer and rice wine and how to toast (cheers) and we even had a delicious egg coffee from a rooftop cafe. The view was spectacular. Every venue had a little story Certainly a must do when in Hanoi and don't know what to try or where to go
