Awesome small group food tour. A definite recommendation! - We had an awesome time exploring the Old Quarter with Jenny! Jenny took us to 6 places where we tasted the authentic delicacies of North Vietnam and it was all very delicious. Jenny is very kind, welcoming, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. And only 6 people in a group. A definite recommendation! Thanks, Jenny.

Food and local history in a great 3 hours - Huy very quickly established any food preferences within the group of 5 and then took us on a wonderful adventure around the old town. His choice of food was extensive and excellent. Everyone got to try something new and unexpected but it all fitted into a logical menu. Along the way he made effort to add local knowledge and point out interesting landmarks and points of interest as well as relating to history of the area. Come hungry, leave full and enjoy this excellent tour

Must-do tour in Hanoi - We had a wonderful time with our guide Cherry. She was extremely knowledgeable, funny, and very kind. She made sure there were always vegetarian options, and she taught us very patiently the customs and traditions of the food we were eating. The food was incredible. The tour group was small (5 people). I highly recommend this tour!
