Authentic - Minh was a fabulous guide and we really enjoyed all the street food he took us to. We have Vietnamese friends back in the USA and have tried many Vietnamese food before, but this tour was truly authentic we experienced new dishes that were local to Hanoi, went to non touristic spots and everything was delicious . Minh also made sure to accommodate any dietary needs. Good variety of foods with nice size portions. After the tour, not only did he provide us with a complete list of where we went but also more recommendations in Hanoi, and even Hoi An.

Great intro to Hanoi Old Quarter - This was a fantastic tour, with a wide variety of foods and tastings on offer, including all the famous dishes like pho, banh mi, bbq skewers, summer rolls and desserts.
Minh was a brilliant host, and his energy and jokes made the experience even better. He not only took us to some really hidden gems (sometimes quite literally through darkened alleyways!) but also gave great insight to Hanoi culture and tips on how to navigate the city (and avoid scams). To top it all off Minh emailed us all the details of everything we tried, plus additional recommendations and even an itinerary for exploring Old Quarter.
This was the perfect start to our trip to Hanoi and oriented us really well to the city's hustle, bustle - and most importantly - food!

A must do tour for food lovers - This is a must if you are visiting Hanoi! Our lovely guide Mint was just amazing. After checking for any allergies & how adventurous the 6 of us felt, she ably led us around the hustle & bustle of the Old Quarter. You will not need to eat before you go on this tour- after 4 main courses & 2 desserts in 6 different stops, we were all so full! We tried local delicacies such as chicken embryos,pigeon, eel, summer rolls, durian & egg coffee .. and even egg beer. We learnt about the foods, the origins of some of the restaurants, the correct pronunciation and generally had lots of fun! Highly recommend for a great way to have dinner.

It was roughly 3 hours, but went by so fast thanks to the delicious food, facts, and personality added by Minh. - Minh really added his personality into every dish he showed us, and all the helpful tips and interesting facts about his country he was so clearly proud of.

Fascinating tour with Minh - Our food tour with Minh was a fascinating and surprising experience. Fascinating because Minh has a very charming storytelling style, we found out a lot of interesting things about the Hanoi street food. And surprising because we tried so many new dishes in some hidden places we would have never found by ourselves. Also Minh gave us many recommendations not only for Hanoi, but for other cities too.

Delicious and Filling! - Minh was an amazing tour guide and we had so much fun! Minh started the tour by teaching us the safest ways to eat street food in Hanoi and equipping us with tricks to carry with us throughout the rest of our time in Vietnam. With each place we visited and each dish we tried, Minh provided history and personal stories about the significance of the food not only to himself but to the country of Vietnam. We also had a nice time sitting and chatting with him about life in Vietnam. He was very knowledgeable about the culture, politics and history of his country! All of the dishes we tried were delicious and a few were unexpected items that I would not have tried on my own. The portions were also quite good. At some places we couldn’t finish our meal in order to save room for the next dish! All in all, this food tour was a great way to start our travels in Vietnam and help us learn more about the cuisine :)

Fantastic introduction to Hanoi Cuisine - Minh, our guide, provide us with a fascinating and delicious introduction to the food of the old quarter. We visited six or seven restaurants. In each, he selected a dish that tasted so good! He introduced us to dishes that we may not have tried by ourselves. He also provided us with information on the history and culture of the area. Minh spoke fluent english and had a great sense of humour. Very highly recommend!
