Additional Information

Renowned for its vibrant street food scene, Hanoi has been listed among the top 10 essential gastronomic experiences by CNN (USA, 2015), and The Guardian (UK, 2019) has also rated it as one of the world’s top 20 destinations for food tours. A simple Google search or perusal through various social media platforms can yield up to 100 recommended eateries, which you may independently discover.

Great tour - Tour was great. Loved the experience of eating the traditional Vietnamese street food that we wouldn’t have been game enough to try normally. Thank you so much.

Delicious, informative, and fun food tour! - Wow, what a great experience! Lisa was fantastic tour guide, informing us about local dishes and culture and modeling how to cross a Ha Noi street with confidence :) She was friendly, funny, and tried to teach our group some phrases in Vietnamese. Lisa catered to our dietary restrictions and was very thoughtful to make sure we were all included in every stop, The tour was fun and the food was amazing! ❤️

Food tour - Super nice evening going around checking different dishes! If the group is smaller it is easier to go more specific places according to taste, but in general very nice to try out new stuff!

Wonderful experience - The street food tour was excellent with Phượng - not only were all of the dishes carefully selected, but she would share the history around each place and how they came to be. Honestly 6/5 would recommend.
