Great way to experience local street foods of Hanoi and get to know the local food culture, highly recommended! - Saw the offer from my booking.com hotel reservation, so i booked the Hanoi Street food on my arrival day to Hanoi for 5pm. Very quick response from helpful and friendly tour operator Jadie then the guide Ruafez to confirm meet up point near my hotel. Highlights of tour: Bun Cha Duc Kim michelin star then a local dessert Mix sweet water, which without Ruafez i would never know how to try. Beyond the street food it was great to meet and talk with the local guides who are students volunteering as guide for wakling tour and/or museum. Highly recommended!! Next time back to Hanoi i will take their Ho Chi Minh museum tour, i heard their guide there is very good👍

Amazing tour guides!!! - Thanh Hoa was amazing since the very beginning at 8:00. She was on time, very energetic, engaging, and very knowledgeable in the vicinity, the list could go on and on! Such an amazing experience with her. We walked for over 5 hours for food and beverages and we had also shopped for some sovenirs and hopefully we will do it again in the future!!!

Amazing experience - Nguyen Hoa and Hong Nga were so nice to us. They spent more than 4 hours with us explaining everything very well in our honey moon. We would repeat it thousand times.

BOOK THIS TOUR!! - We ran a bit late due to delayed flight but Eli was understanding. The appetizer was so good we came back again the next day. It is one of the best local foods we tried, eli also added pepper which made a lot of difference. The ban xeo was also good. We do not usually order this because if huge size but this opportunity gave as a chance and we loved it. The desserts are the best. Eli’s finishing touches were really good. This tour really made us happy.

The best way to get to know Hanoi. - Minh is an excellent tour guide, friendly, smiling, he gave me a lot of information about the history of Hanoi, the food was delicious... it was a rainy day and he was always very attentive until he bought an umbrella for me.

Great experience - Amazing experience, going around with a local it's always different and you discover a different Hanoi. Our guide, Van, was amazing, informative and bring us in place that as a tourist we never visit, try some local food in the street and walk around.

Wonderful food, great guide! - We had an appetitzer (fish), main course (pancakes and salad), traditional dessert and modern dessert. Our guide, Eli is a chef so he cooked the fish for us and trust me, it was absolutely yummy. He selected the best foods at every stop which were both adult and children friendly. He would give a brief explanation on the history of the food each time and also walked us back to the hotel after. Thank you, Eli!
