Tony and Gigi were... - Tony and Gigi were incredible guides! The food was tasty and varied and the portions were large. Go with an empty stomach. By the end of the tour, we weren’t able to finish the dishes that they put in front of us because we were so full. My spouse and I were the only people on the tour, so Tony and Gigi were super attentive. They gave us tons of information about Vietnamese food and culture more generally, and Gigi even went out of her way to take photos us during the tour. We couldn’t recommend this tour enough.

Lovely Tour with an Awesome Guide - Ella was an amazing tour guide! I got to try a variety of foods I never would have considered on my own. The dishes were incredible, and it was fascinating to learn about how they originally came to Vietnam and evolved into what they are today. The final dessert stop was definitely my favorite—so delicious! :D

Amazing and authentic Northern Vietnamese food tour - Ella was so full of knowledge and stories about her time in Hanoi and growing up on the countryside of Vietnam. This tour is amazing if you want to experience the street food of Hanoi and eat things you otherwise would’ve never tried! Truly recommend the 3 hour walking tour with Ella to learn about the food and culture of northern Vietnam.

Excellent local food tour - We loved our tour with Ella! We got to sample lots of different types of local food and she brought us all around the Old Quarter, definitely to places we would not have gone ourselves. She knew a lot about the food we were having and shared some of her own journey coming to Hanoi. Highly recommend!
