Awesome tour - It was wonderful! Our guide was Jasmine and she was so much fun and enthusiastic. She explained a lot about Vietnamese culture, about the food, and I tried dishes I never would've had otherwise. Highly recommend!

Recommended - even for non-vegans - We were a group of 4, of which only one of us was vegan. However the food throughout was excellent - tasty and filling. Vy was an excellent guide, informative and able to answer all our questions and queries. The tour exceeded all my expectations (as a non-vegan), I would do it again and I certainly wouldn’t be put off trying more.

The best vegetarian or vegan food you will eat - Vy was an incredible host who took us to eat amazing vegetarian food. We ate at some very hidden places that we would not have been able to find alone. I recommend doing this tour early on your visit to Hanoi so you can return to your favourite food stops later. Note: we are veggie, but we were asked about our preferences before starting the tour. Vy had a perfect understanding of vegetarian, vegan, pescetarian etc. including any allergies

Wonderful guide - I did the vegan food tour with Angelina who was a perfect guide! She took us to around 8 different delicious food spots for a mix of different local foods that I would have probably never known existed otherwise. She is also such a lovely person to talk to and learn more about life in Hanoi. I would thoroughly recommend!!

So much fun! - Honestly, I had a lot of fun! The two hostesses made us feel like friends, they could laugh while informing us about Vietnamese culinary customs. They make an effort to create a friendly atmosphere within the group. The tour is well organized, lasting 3-3.5h. A nice variety of tasting (banh mi, juice, dessert, lunch, salads, etc). One of my favorite activities of my stay in Hanoi!

Vegan street food - Trang was the most wonderful tour guide! She was so knowledgeable and shared with us dishes and spots we would have never thought to try out on our own. Come hungry as we went to ~7 different spots! We were delighted to also learn a little more about Hanoi local spots and culture as well as the yummy food.

Angelina is a great guide - Had a fantastic evening with our friendly and knowledgeable guide Angelina who took us to a whole host of different street food options which we would never have tried ourselves. We certainly would never have found half the streets we walked down without her help! Very informative - and tasty - tour!

5/5 Food and Cultural Tour - We had such an incredible time with Yến and training guide, Lê! We did the tour on our first day in Viet Nam. The variety of food for both the vegetarians and meat eaters in our group was fantastic. We were a group of 6 and although we felt a little tired from our long travel day the day before, the tour was super engaging with historical content and lovely cultural anecdotes. We tried great street food, beer, desert, and fruit treats from vendors. We 100% recommended this tour!

Great tour, delicious food, lovely guides - My brother and I had been staying in Vietnam for a while but had generally been playing it safe with food since it can be tough to tell what is or isn’t vegan. We decided to book a tour to branch out a bit under the guidance of a local.
The tour struck a good balance of sweet and savoury snacks, fruit, and drinks, giving us a useful (and delicious) overview of the wider range of food available here.
The main standout, though, were the super-friendly guides. They were well-organised so waiting times for food were minimal, and they made sure we were happy with what we were eating. They also spoke great english, and gave us some really interesting insights into the daily lives of people here.
Very good tour and reasonably priced.
