Incredible experience - Our guide was fantastic and very personable. She took her time explaining each dish to us and gave us a lot of insight into the culture and history of the Vietnamese people. All of the food we had was incredible. The atmosphere was amazing and we discovered a lot of hidden, authentic Vietnamese establishments that were off the beaten path. Would definitely do this again when we return to Hanoi.

Do it! - Ben my guide was great! Very professional and knew what he was talking about. He asked me questions as well and was very sweet when crossing the roads. The food was amazing! It is nice to have someone walk you around because most of the time you have no idea what they are selling. Really nice tour and worked recommend it for every traveler.

Enjoyable tour of Hanoi Street Food - My wife and I were picked up at the Paradise Hotel by our guide Trung Nguyen (at the end of the night we voted him King), and we got right to the street food starting with Sticky Rice, then on through another 5 stops. Trung took the time to educate us on both the food origins and Vietnamese history. He even help my wife shop for a pair of sunglasses with great advice. We ended the night right near the hotel with some mango and ice cream dessert. Very enjoyable, great conversation, and we recommend highly!

Great Tour! - Recently enjoyed a local food tour with my husband and 2 children (aged 19 and 14). Our host Duc (Joe) was excellent and took us to some great wee restaurants and cafes which we would have never stopped at. During the tour he was giving some information about Hanoi’s culture and recommending things we should do during our time in Hanoi. The highlight was seeing Hanoi’a first coffee shop. Would definitely recommend!

Wonderful evening. - We were picked up at our hotel by Giang. She is a very knowledgable young lady both about food and Vietnamese culture. She expertly guided through the busy Hanoi streets to some of the best food. She explained the dishes very well. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening.

Ok tour - Friendly & on time tour guy but tough english to understand. Food choices were ok, but I think is because it was Vietnam.

very unhealthy food locations - the food stops we made were totally unhealthy conditions. most of us come from countries were we can assume that the sanitary and food safety standards are enforced, well not here. My wife and I are in the food business and it was upsetting to see employees grab food items with dirty hands and then serve them to us. These food shops would be immediately shut down by food safety inspectors in any state of the USA. the agency Trip Advisor should select food shops for their tours, that at least meet minimum food safety standards, the health of the participating tourists is in serious jeopardy.
